One small step backwards for feminism

You have all seen the posters of Rosie the Riveter, flexing her upper arm, and saying "We Can Do It!"
In a funny occurrence the other day, a friend of mine told me about an abusive ex of hers who, in an attempt at "conversation," grabbed her upper arm, leaving a bruise there. She showed us, in much the same fashion that Rosie the Riveter flaunted her own upper arm.
"You should make a poster of this," said Jeremey, "that says 'I Tried to Do It!'"
