This post was so beautiful and inspiring that I didn't even want to make an effort to write on this topic myself. All I did was remove the gender references. As a woman I most certainly agree with the writer but as a human I still believe keeping aside majorities/minorities, percentages or the society's standards, humans in general are victims of some issues, irrespective of gender.
I take no credit for what is written below. I own this blog but this piece of work I'm sharing below is not mine. It's something that touched me so much that I believe it was worth sharing.

" Every person has a past. Some were physically abused. Some had violent parents. Some had pubertal issues. Some had sexual abuse as a child from their own family members. Some had messed up love stories. Some had been drugged. Some had been blackmailed by their own loved ones. Some were in an abusive relationship. Some had menstrual problems. Some had a broken family. Some had a divorce. Some had an obesity issue. Some had financial droughts. Some had drug or alcohol addiction. Some had a few unsuccessful suicide attempts.
If you see someone, who went through any of these but had already wiped their tears, masked their sorrows with a divine smile, stood tall and strong, started walking towards their future because they still has some hope left inside them and have not given up on the concept of love that still exists in this world, do not stab them with their past. Do not confront them. Do not slap them with more abuse. Give way for them and walk beside them. May be hold their hands and walk for a while. You'll know how sweet that soul is and how strong their hopes are! You'll be amazed at how they carries themselves after all their energy has been sucked out.
They do need not to always be only the person next door or from a different home. They could be your own friend, your own sibling, your own partner, your own spouse, even may be your own parent. Do not judge them by their past. Gift them the peaceful future that they deserves. Hold their hands against the world, which knows only to judge.
Give them the love that they've always yearned for. " —  Shaheryar Hassan
