I guess it depends on how serious you are about trying to eradicate this crap. Is it important enough to arm women
and children against it, by telling them very clearly that this kind of behavoir isn't acceptable? Seems to me that people like to be in denial about this, "oh, what he did wasn't
abuse! I deserved that." is repeated over and over by women (and occasionally men) who refuse to take the next step. These ads would explain it to those suffering in this way that (1) they're not alone, (2) it's not acceptable, and (3) there are ways to get help with it.
This is the real world. These things are done here. If we ever want to eradicate this kind of behavoir, we've got to shine light on it and make it clear to all how bad it is. Your little boy can grow up and be an abuser. This kind of spot is like a vaccine. Which would y'all prefer?
