26. Stereotypes are dangerous
People who are trying to live up to impossible standards are bound to end up disappointed and feeling badly about themselves. They may feel they are not worthy or respect due to their failure to achieve the unrealistic ideals. Many people who are abusive have very rigid beliefs of the roles of men and women in society, Not living up to these roles is “failure” and can result in insults, threats and even violence. People who feel badly about themselves may believe they deserve to be abused or mistreated. NOBODY deserves disrespect or violence!
