Fuck you. Women aren't victims of abuse because they can't draw a fucking line. It's because abusive partners are manipulative pieces of shit that leave their victims isolated, financially dependent and blaming themselves for being beaten. (Oh hey, that last one sounds like you!) The most dangerous time in an abuse…

This whole situation..

Okay, I'll play. First, sticking up for yourself will get you killed. Pretty damn simple. Second, you stay because he threatens your children. Your parents. Your nieces and nephews. Your grandparents. He can and will hurt them. You stay and do anything to protect the ones you love. If you haven't lived with an evil…

In my very personal opinion (based on experience, as a child, but an opinion nonetheless), one of the biggest reasons domestic violence is rarely appropriately punished, and one of the biggest reasons women struggle to leave, is that domestic violence is seen as one of those things that is personal and between the…

Sad because she thinks it's a ratings ploy, sad that she defends her husband, sad that it reminds me that even after everything that went down she made that man her husband, sad that it took the second video for this punishment to come down when the first was horrific…

What I don't get is why anything would be different now that they've seen this "new" video. They had already seen Rice's girlfriend out cold. How the hell did they think she got like that in the first place?
