Well, they just laughed in his face this time.

I doubt it. If she had a good therapist she probably wouldn’t be so intimately involved with his campaign. In many ways she has taken the role a wife would traditionally take during a campaign.

Don’t you know that if a white person doesn’t say the “N-word” they’re not racist? Racism is name calling ONLY. “Yeah, I mean, all I did was deny their basic rights and human dignity. You guys are acting like I called them mean names or something”

Reducing a person to good or bad in this situation is hot garbage.

Systematic and documented abuse and threats of death that were not addressed by the agencies required to resolve the issue, that’s how.

Which is where the law fails to accommodate people severely affected by DV. Obviously this should not be a readily available defence, but the law needs to understand the impact of long term and severe DV on victims - they are very unlikely to defend themselves during attacks, due to conditioning and fear, but are left…

If you actually read the stories, she did her damnedest to protect her kids with her life. Her abusive husband repeatedly told her that if she tried to escape or defied him, he would murder her kids in front of her. If, instead, she let herself be beaten, he apparently stuck to beating her and did not physically harm…

Yes, but only because he said “pussy.” He says any other word—“crotch,” “boobs,” “vagina”—I promise you they wouldn’t give a damn. They are definitely upset by the crudeness of the word “pussy,” not the action it’s describing.

As someone who’s worked in DV a woman like this is in an impossible position. It doesn’t seem rational to stay and it’s not, considering the danger, however she has spent years doing risk assessments in her head and has survived and her kids have survived. She has likely been told every day in many ways that she or…

Although for that poor girl and her family, there was no POST trauma. It was ongoing trauma.

The law needs to be changed. You can’t expect a kid to wait until the next time he’s actively trying to kill them. 

Everyone repeat after me: “I thought he was going to kill me. I was afraid for my life.”

I grew up in an abusive household.
My brother ran away in highschool because he knew if he stayed he would have murdered him and he didn’t want to end up in jail, but he was tired of having to watch our mother suffer every day. I stayed because I had no where else to go, and I didn’t know what to do. I on more than…

For a second there I thought I was pointing out a disparity in how a society treats different classes of people. Thank god you were here.

He killed the innocence in my heart

..................... what? Why are you doing this?

I thought the exact same thing. She looks dead in the eyes. Depressed. Used. I feel for her. Run Melania. Get the fuck out

“I’ve never withdrawn in my life!”

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and advocates sexual assault in casual conversations....

Trump campaign: It was lockerroom talk.
