I was astonished because i have interacted with my fellow TUM students and i have met men who are being abused but they can't speak out because they are ashamed or afraid to be bashed that they take physical abuse from women. On my everyday school routine, i met Dave a short, brown skin, plump guy who always had his glasses  and earphones on , severally on the g-square pavements. Dave looked like a nerd moreso like an empty soul waiting to break down , so one day i just decided to say hi and he just hugs me and starts crying.

Dave breaks down about how his journey to hell began three years ago with hi...
