Dear White Ribbon,

Whilst I appreciate your ad campaign I feel it is biased in the sense of nearly a decade of spousal abuse. I recently lost my smell due to a coward's punch from behind to my temporal lobe. These ads remind me of the assaults every time I see them on TV.

It's fair to say as a male with a build of 110kgs 186cm & working in security it is humiliating for me personally to admit to my family, friends & workplace my partner weighing in at 45kgs beats me.

It has taken me years to admit this, hoping every day it will get better, I admit I need counselling, I am a mess.

I empathise that women struggle to report their violence, however it is gut wrenching, embarrassing for a ALPHA male working in security to come forward. I still love her even though she has robbed me in so many ways, but now she has robbed my sense of smell. Enough is enough.

I have sought medical advice & a counsellor.

Personally I think there should be an equal campaign, would you disagree? If we can get rid of ‘grid girls’ at car rallies and other examples of being politically correct, then surely we can afford a “VAM VAM thank you Maam” campaign.

Take care & stay safe.

My best,

Daniel
