EVERYONE needs to know this. This is how nearly all abusive relationships play out, nearly all of the time. It’s very, very common and very important.
Bear in mind that “violent outbursts” can also mean mental/verbal abuse, shoving or holding someone down, throwing things at the person or threats.
Usually, this cycle worsens and worsens throughout the relationship. The violent episodes last longer and longer and the honeymoon phase gets shorter or may disappear completely, leaving the relationship bouncing back and forth between tension and explosions.
Please reblog if you think your readers could be helped by this?
Perfect timing for TAKE BACK THE NIGHT tomorrow, eh? If this sounds familiar to you, know that resources are readily available #ASUO Women’s Center

Dr. Misogyny
In our upcoming issue, The Siren is dedicating a short piece to the recent Dr. Pepper Ten ads. Dr. Pepper has gone to astounding lengths to both direct their product exclusively to men and create a campaign that quite frankly bashes women. From a facebook page that specifically un-friends any female-identified fans, to enabling a feature that allows fans to share overtly offensive, sexist, jokes, Dr. Pepper has made their man-only message all too clear.
Read some more about Dr. Pepper’s advertising scheme:
