In the video Omar Farooq asks men, “How many of you have lost your cool at your partner or somebody else, and broken something or smashed something against the wall, intimidated a woman, pushed them into a corner, spoken to them in a loud voice or threatened them with a raised fist?”

He also demanded, “From one man to the other, this needs to stop.”

Barriers are very important and so is the ability to walk away from an abusive situation. Not every debate is worth fighting over. As men, it is our job to lower our gaze and remain within our barriers. I hope we can all improve and learn from this amazing video by Omar Farooq.
