Fyi, comment with triggery material in it, y'all

That amazed me, too ... plus the tale of one guy doing evil shit and then having this epiphany that just maybe women were suffering because of his actions. I'd think all this shit would be obvious, but I just shared this link with a friend of mine who was appropriately amazed and horrified and then made a comment along the lines of, "I can't believe that woman survived all that and her family wouldn't even take her back! That's such a fucked-up culture!" I responded, "Culture, what? Sexism and oppression are universal and need to be fought everywhere. When my best friend told her parents she'd been raped, they were ashamed and grounded her."

Idk, sometimes I'm still blown away that obvious stuff isn't obvious. Like, where've you been, dude?
