Hi, I would like to translate this piece for French women, it would be published on my substack and/or on www.partage-le.com, knowing that my content is freely available (the paid membership is for people who want to support the work and that's it!).
This is an incredibly thought-out and well put together piece. My wife started seeing the signs of new threats years ago, and she cannot believe the response of women who are applauding and allowing this violence to be perpetuated. She often wonders why she, as someone who has chronic illnesses, cannot get the help she needs but the people having elective surgeries are given their "treatments" on a silver platter.
You're doing incredible work. Your awareness is inspiring and I hope that more people (especially more women) can start to see how normalizing violence is severely damaging to everyone. As someone who was indoctrinated by porn culture as a child, I recognize the need to remove all aspects of it from life as much as possible. No one should have to grow up to see violence and sexualized violence romanticized.
Where are you getting this "1 in 3 women are the victims of rape and violence at the hands of men"? This reads like hyperbole. Yes I could believe this is select parts of teh world but globally? Not unless the definition of violence is extremely broad including things such as unwanted attention like when a man flirts with a woman only to find out she's uninterested. If that is considered violence you may want to re-think that. Modern male/female relationships is seeing a crisis as the majority of men are choosing not to take the risk. Some women claim fear of being raped anywhere they go, men fear being falsely accused and having their lives destroyed over a false accusation and yes it does happen.
Brilliant! You are connecting all the dots. Many thanks for your thoughtful analysis and clarity:)
