Sorry but your subjective opinion doesn’t trump anyone else’s no matter how much you like to rant at anyone who disagrees with you on here. Your known for it and I won’t bother engaging with you.
@Schmick - I don’t see anyone as ranting.
You made a blanket statement that is wrong.
Everyone has tried to kindly point that out to you. But, I’m getting the feeling you aren’t liking that very much 
Your call. I won’t be losing too much sleep over the fact, but just for the record, I don’t actually care if someone disagrees with me. My ego can take the hit, but last time I looked, this place was a discussion forum.
To me the one with the far, far higher percentage is more worrying (44% thats 1:2, that’s horrific). In either case I’m not suggesting to make the character feminine but just to make it neutral so that It’s not gender specific and shines light in the fact that violence isn’t tied to a certain gender (no one here seemed to even know about the epidemic levels of female violence).
I’m not sure why this has has hurt so many feelings (especially when they didn’t even design the poster) it’s a simple suggestion backed up by real world factual data. I honestly don’t care what the OP does with their poster, it was supposed to be some constructive feedback from a more experienced designer. I’ve given them exactly what they asked for and don’t care about what people who didn’t even design the original poster think about the advice.
Awesome, why did you feel the need to reply if it doesn’t bother you then?
I made no incorrect statements
The rate of violence in female same sex relationships is 44%. I’ve backed this up with links and sources.
It’s correct whether you accept it or not.
Knock it off unless you would like a time out.
You are the only one making this personal!
Simply because you seem to be under the misapprehension that people are hurt or piqued. This was nothing more than objective discussion. However, as it is tepidly becoming a bun-fight, I’m out.
Time out all you want, I obviously will never be back here after today.
Doesn’t change the fact that the rate of violence on same sex couples is 44%, if you take that fact as a personal attack there’s nothing I can do about it.
I don’t think anyone’s feelings have been hurt. You’ve made some good observations about a complex problem, and we’re just discussing them. You seem more inclined to feel the poster should be more inclusive. That’s a totally fair point of view. I’m inclined to feel there’s plenty of room for a more targeted poster addressing a more specific aspect of the domestic violence problem.
People are hurt though, I’m getting threats from moderators now.
Why not just link some data showing I’m incorrect about the 44% rather than attacking me?
I’ve attacked no one and merely linked factual data.
Pathetic
Alright darlin … slow your roll NO one is threatening you. You are being warned not to make personal attacks. That’s our job.
100% of all homosexual relationship violence is instigated by men. Think about that.

I generally like the design. That being said, your grammar is a bit off. It should read: "This is not (what instead of how) … " And perhaps a better headline would be: “LOVE SHOULDN"T FEEL LIKE THIS” Just a suggestion from an old geezer Copywriter.

3.5 years later I found some time to make some minor improvement to this poster.
Fixed the silhouette to llok more human, and changed the typography to soething a bit more “menacing”. Changed the perspective so the viewer looks at the man from a lower point.
Still can’t decide which is more balanced. Emphasize on the text? or on the man?

Had to reread the thread to find out what’s going on here, now I regret reading the thread… well parts of it.
I think it looks good, think the V in the body could be more of a v shape it looks more like a u.
Good grief … it is becoming more realistic in my depraved mind. Still, it reaffirms the theme.
Can’t unsee now…
I think it would be good if instead of an exact shadow of the subject, the shadow can form the text “NOT”.
