It's easier to pretend there's still a political solution to all this apparently. Just another way of sticking one’s head in the sand.
Yup. And some battered wives don’t want to be saved. you can’t ‘White Knight’ a situation like that. There’s no point in trying. Eventually the woman goes back to the abuser one to many times and gets beaten to death.
There are plenty of people open to the idea that reality is exactly what it looks like, just like there are battered women that really do want out of their hell. THOSE are the people to spend our time on.
Those that want the abuse? So be it. We can’t fix ‘what don’t wanna be fixed’. All we can do is prevent their dangerous stupidity from taking good people down with them.
