I'll re-watch it, but I don't recall him saying women who have been abused are the provokers. If that's what he said then I'll agree he was wrong.Being uneducated on the subject of domestic violence and using triggering language
Do I personally think he was wrong? No. Did he use the wrong terminology? Yes. I just wish people would step out their POV for once and see it from the POV of who he was addressing. People really can't understand how telling someone who was abused that they provoked what occurred is damaging? Victim blaming 101. There is a huge difference between saying don't put your hands on someone and don't provoke someone. Provoke means so many things, so although I got his point he used the wrong verbiage.
