Patrick Stewart on Extras
Patrick Stewart talks about his own experiences with violence in the home, against his mother and the effect it had on him in later life. A campaign lead by Amnesty International seeks to bring to light this often underestimated and ignored problem, one which is not unique to any one race or creed.

Patrick Stewart has to be one of the most well spoken people I have ever heard. almost too well spoken for our sound byte craving society to get it.

How many children of abusive parents are as successful as Stewart, you think? [Edit: Not so sure "spearheading" is the best word for a campaign designed to reduce domestic violence.]

Having a father with an inability to control his anger,who sometimes lashed out at my mother physically, had a profound effect on me. I think it hindered my ability to experience security and intimacy with men for a long time.

Even now, a man only has to raise his voice in an angry way around me and it throws me back to feeling like a helpless six year old.

I've worked hard on this stuff. Still working on it.

I wish i could promote this one.
Mr. Stewart may be an actor, but is a man, like us all. And this man has a talent that everybody should be able to acquier : being able to express his feelings so they can be understood.

I liked this video, but have to disagree with him on one thing.
I don't want to see my government be more responsible for helping to stop domestic violence.
I don't think that's government's place.
I want to see more of the decent men in this world (which I have in recent years learned that there are more of than there are shit-heads) step up together as they find themselves neighbors or friends of men who beat their wives.
I would have loved to see the men peeking from the windows of their cars or houses, the men standing across the street when I was being abused...step up and beat the living daylights out of my ex. It's something men need to do for other men, I say.
Women can't defend themselves the same way men can (basic physiological differences unless of course the woman has a black belt...) and I like the idea of decent men putting indecent men in their place/teaching them some manners.
But that's just me.

Sadly, I know what he is talking about first hand.

Only I was old enough to defend my self.

Laura, there are some situations that a person cannot in any way defend themselves physically, with out the use of a weapon.

A Black belt:

Yudansha is a honor that denotes the martial artists length of training, not necessarily their skill.
