Your thoughts

Wow. Just wow. That was so touching.

Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about "don't hit back." Is it empowering to... hit back? I don't know. I keep drawing mental parallels to sexual assault, in which case hitting back is often the "recommended" (and from an academic point of view, theoretically sound) course of action. But this isn't the same, I know that. He makes an incredibly compelling case, though, one which I believed every moment I listened to and watched him.
