Hello,

I am sending you this letter to let you know that I have recently booked shows on the East Coast and will be traveling through and performing in your area this fall. I still have dates available between:

SEPT 15th - 19th
Or
OCTOBER 15 through 21st

This is an excellent opportunity for me to perform at your institution at a reduced fee and travel cost. If you are interested, please contact me as soon as possible for details.

My live multimedia performances about relationship violence and sexual assault are powerful and exciting ways to educate about these important issues. If you are not familiar with my work, please visit my website at:

My tentative response to her is as follows:

"Ms. Hulse,

Thank you for contacting me about your presentation. I have some questions before you come.

I am sincerely worried about violence against men. Is there anything in your presentation that addresses this?

I am also interested in affirming healthy relationships among men and women. Does your presentation go beyond talking about violence in relationships and on to providing a solution, i.e. healthy stable male-female relationships?

Is there anything in your presentation which will help our homosexual community here on relationship violence within homosexual relationships?

Thank you

Amber"

I'll let you know if she responds.

Hello Amber,

I currently have two shows in production, one about Domestic Violence and
one about Rape. Because DV and Rape victims are
predominantly female, I focus on women as the victims and men as the
abusers. However, the message is the same for any kind of violent
relationship,
regardless of race, sexual orientation, or gender.

I advocate that anyone in an abusive relationship should leave, and the
abuser should be severely punished. The root causes of violence in
relationships are:

1. Sexism & Objectification
2. Traditional roles which are defined as Dominant and Submissive.

Objectification, dominance, and submissive roles are found in all types of
relationships - including homosexual relationships. You are right, here
in New York there is a significant movement to bring Domestic Violence
issues in the gay community to the forefront. Although my shows do not
address this directly, all my performances include a discussion section
where these issues can be explored more thoroughly.

Thank you for your interest in my work,

Sincerely,

Nancy Hulse

Great questions! I'm so glad you asked these.

My oldest brother and I were able to compare notes with our spouses' verbal abuse. We agreed while it doesn't leave evidence like physical abuse does, it can be just as painful, and recovery can take much longer. Friends and family continue to see the abusers as a really good person while they take the abuse behind closed doors.

It was extremely difficult for him to admit it, because of the stigma. A mugging would have been more acceptable rather than saying "My own wife is hurting me."

I would love to attend such a presentation. Many women and men leave a marriage and come back into the singles' world with the diminished self-esteem that comes from a verbally abusive relationship.

This is why God did not give women dicks.

Their tongues are worse weapons in the long run anyway.

Doesn't look like Ms Hulse grasps irony.
