Awareness from studies on same-sex domestic violence applies to this community, yet some may not include identities that transcend or trouble traditional sex and gender categories.

catcalling a girl in tight jeans and a loose white top and even violence towards women are just some of the prevalent themes in this video, especially in the black suburban communities. However, Tupac gives a symbol of hope to women who are demoralized by objectification and provides a strong lesson towards men who degrade women.
