If you're on Twitter, I hope you'll sign the petition asking Twitter to remove #Reasonstobeatyourgirlfriend as a trend. Domestic Violence is not a joke. It is "jokes" and statements like these that encourage violence against women (or homophobia or racism or child abuse or incest, etc.). I don't understand how people think it's okay. But then, I don't understand abusers, either. This is definitely the kind of joke that my abuser parents would have laughed about in private with their friends.
