There’s a pattern that I’ve noticed over the years that a specific type of man utilizes to justify (and often get away with) abusing women… First he demonizes her (for something she may or may not have done), then he rallies a group of others against her who believe him for whatever reason, and then he justifies his abuse of her by consistently citing the issue that was initially utilized (by him) to demonize her to begin with.
Last night I put this video podcast together for a young woman I’ve never met, but am aware of. I hope she took the time to watch it so she knows she’s not alone. I don’t like seeing others in pain that hasn’t been acknowledged – because I can relate to such a situation quite well.
