i wonder if we'll ever see a commercial for the guys. there are domestic
violence commercials, but they really only show the face of a battered
woman. again the ad is subconcioulsly targeted at women:
if you don;t want this to be you, get out of your bad relationship, OR
if this is your best friend, talk her into going into a shelter rather
than have her life in danger.

these commercial send much more to the women than men, b/c what are men
going to see? nothing they didn't see after they beat the shit out of
their wives, and if it didn't affect them when it was a living person
with in an arms length, is it really going to be effective on them when
they see an no name actress on the television?!@ what i've learned from
my one communications class that women are more receptive to compassion.
(nothing i didn't know before) so of course ads like these are gonig to
say more to females. my question is HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT COMMUNICATING ANY
THING TO MEN? if you can answer that , you'd better copyright it.
