COERCIVE CONTROL: Most victims often don't even know they're victims, because it happens so slowly

"What is coercive control? Some people may actually know what this is, but they might not know the name of it. Many people would probably know it from Hollywood movies actually. Alice, Darling is a fairly new movie that really delves into this. From my era, people may remember the movie Sleeping with the Enemy, and there was a great Netflix series called Maid."

This Bill better be passed.
I relate very deeply to this Bill.
It’s true—until you are physically hurt, the cops will do nothing.
There is absolutely no reason for this Bill not to pass.
I would like to know if it does.

This bill will apply to individuals and groups, including governments who engage in coercive control against a person, correct?

"he took my keys" well you can - get this - walk to the police station 🤯🤯🤯🤯. My ex-gf was like this she claimed she couldn't leave her crack dealer ex even though she has two legs and could easily have left when he wasn't home, and gone to the police station. Its 100% bullshit. If you have two legs, you can go to the police station and file a report. This bill is just another tool women can use against men who are innocent.

If you are a victim but don't know you are a victim, how will the crime be reported? A tip line for friends, neighbours and stangers? Alexa? Siri? Doorbell cam?

How will they identify the victims and the people abusing the system. I have angry outbursts. I do my best to control them. But im afraid someone could use this against me and use my mental health against me. How would this protect someone from another who might just not have the strength to check me and say slow down. Rather than get scared when im upset. Cuz i never meen it. And i do my absolute best. But we all need help sometimes. Im afraid this would not be helpfull. And would only empower phycos.
