I often feel the distinction between physical and verbal abuse is misleading, and yet, I don't know how to avoid it. I've had bruises and concussions from being beat up and I've suffered taunting chants and constant insults, and they're both awful, but the latter occurs in an environment full of social structures that enable additional layers of tolerated deniability, which in turn enables repetition and escalation.
