The question for women today is not whether or not other people take us seriously so much as whether or not we choose to be serious.

Marianne, I consider you one of my spiritual guides but sometimes your tone deafness for a woman who spent 18 years being beaten, choked, kicked and emotionally, spiritually, and financially abused is hard. amazon.com/Could-Happen-Anyo… this book helped me heal and stop blaming myself

I don’t see anything I’ve said that blamed a woman for violence perpetrated against her. It’s not invalidating a woman’s pain to validate the strength that dwells within her.

True, but it's hard for DV victims who feel shame they should have left or should have been stronger. Esp. if she heard she's weak or people didn't believe her when she told the truth. I think your intent is lovely but it IS a question if people don't believe her.
