18. The excuses made for male violence are startling

This man shoved his older coach, raged in his face and then hugged him after. Just the raging in his face is abusive behavior that society has normalized but is very traumatic.
And Kelce's behavior?
Sound familiar?
Typical abuser behavior.
And you know who Reid sounds like? The abused partner making excuses. "He didn't mean to hurt me," while we all saw that he came very close to falling
Red flags all over this. I work with victims of domestic violence and yesterday these women were shaken up about this because they recognize the pattern. Kelce did this in public, in front of millions, getting physical with is coach. No excuse for this ever. And what would he do in private, if Taylor crosses him.
I get Kelce is on our side politically, but I hoped we were better than Trumpers, who defend everything everyone on their side does. I hoped.
