    In reply to Patrick Stewart: "The Truth Is That Domestic Violence Touches Many Of Us."
    I recently googled "Patrick Stewart Feminist" because I had heard he was part of that "This is what a Feminist looks like" campaign. One of the pages that came up was one of the most VILE things I have ever seen.

    It was a page called "antimisandry.com" and it's tagline was "curing Feminist indoctrination". They were badmouthing Stewart for being and "awful liberal" and they were also saying all kinds of stuff about awful "man-hating" feminists who they said actually want to KILL men. I stopped looking after that, it was just to gross.

    Sometimes I worry about the future of the human race.

    When I was 8 I had a crush on Data.

    Until 12 my dream man changed to Picard.

    Patrick Stewart, you are so.... :::swoon::: !

    Now this makes it even worse because I love to take care of men. Both mentally and otherwise. My heart goes out to you Mr. Stewart.....

    His article made me tear up, which, if you know me, you'll know is no small feat (being someone who has had no personal experience with domestic violence, nor has anybody close to me, and also being someone who rarely has emotional reactions).

    And worst of all was silence. When I could only hear footsteps it was the signal to be super-alert.

    Man, do I know how that goes.

    In reply to Patrick Stewart: "The Truth Is That Domestic Violence Touches Many Of Us."
    "The sense of guilt and loneliness provoked by domestic violence is tainting – and lasting. No one came, but everyone knew. Our small houses were close together. Every Monday morning I walked to school with my head down, praying that I would not encounter a neighbour or school friend who had heard the weekend's rows. I felt ashamed."

    This was the line that really stuck out for me. And it's also true for those who grew up with "only" emotional abuse. That kind of shame and loneliness is hard to get over, even years later.

    He just gets more and more awesome. Spokesperson for Amnesty International, speaking out against sexism, challenging what it means to be a "man" and domestic violence... I like your politics, Patrick Stewart.

    That other thread about the columnist and rape needs to borrow this line: "Violence is a choice a man makes and he alone is responsible for it."

    I once had the incredible luck of sitting at the table next to the one where Patrick Stewart was sitting in a swanky restaurant in London. I have absolute zero memories of the conversation I had with the nice gentleman who took me there. I had to use all of my powers NOT to stare at Jean-Luc. My peripheral vision got a serious workout. Sigh.

    PS - He's just as hot in person.

    I just... I just can't get over how incredibly awesome Patrick Stewart is. It's so easy to be disappointed by your childhood heroes, but he just never, never has been anything but wonderful.

    @debo matar la zombi goldberry83: Seriously. He's a perfect combination of dignity and humor. He's getting higher and higher in my pantheon of untouchably awesome celebrities (Top spot is currently occupied by Fred Rogers due to a) the fact that he's Mister Rogers and b) a story someone told me about bumping into him on the street, wherein he saw she was upset, stopped and spoke with her, and when she said she had recently moved to that city and was homesick and didn't have any friends, he looked at her and genuinely said "Well, I'm your friend.")

    @vulcanized: That... is an amazing story that has completely undone me!

    But you hit it with the first part of your comment w/r/t Patrick Stewart. The man is quite simply dignified in a way that we don't often see these days. Dignity, in and of itself, has gone out the window as something to aspire to (or even cling desperately to when all else is lost). Coupled with courage? Absent these days.

    Not to mention that Mr. Stewart is all that and one of the most talented actors of the 20th and 21st centuries (coughANDTHE24thcough).
