#MaybeHeDoesntHitYou but you've watched him punch enough walls and destroy enough objects to wonder if you're next — a wandering ghost (@pale_teen) May 12, 2016
Sophomore Alyis Clark, a computer science major, wasn’t surprised to hear the statistics on domestic abuse as she said that we live in a patriarchal society. “[Emotional abuse] is not something you can really see unless you start talking to someone, if you don’t talk to people in that situation you’re not really going to know how mentally scarred they are,” Clark said. While this hashtag has brought awareness, there is still room for improvement in terms of educating the public on identifying types of abuse. Every nine seconds a woman is assaulted. It’s time we recognize the seriousness of domestic violence and how frequently it happens. Emotional abuse is hidden from the eyes of society, it's not as blatant as a bruise or the police showing up to your house, it’s subtle and it’s not being talked about enough. Let The Western Front know what you think about #MaybeHeDoesntHitYou by tweeting @TheFrontOnline.#MaybeHeDoesntHitYou but you avoid saying or doing things because you don’t want to have to deal with how he might react.
