A comment responding to a woman calling out her husband’s assault stated: “What do you did to him?”—implying she must have done something to deserve the abuse.
This mindset is harmful and reinforces the toxic idea that violence is a justified response to conflict. No action warrants physical assault in a relationship. Instead of questioning the victim, the focus should be on condemning abuse and ensuring accountability. Blaming victims only silences them and allows violence to continue unchecked.
