Disturbing but perhaps necessary

The recent meme (you've probably seen it) led me to focus, and realize that about 20% of the people on my friends list (that I know of) are abuse survivors. Very disturbing... and even more so if, as has been indicated, that's reflected in the wider population. It seems there should be a way to stop this from happening. Maybe the writer of the meme is right, and talking about it will make it less acceptable. We can hope.
