We need to talk about misogyny

I both agree and disagree; while I agree violence is normalized, gender based violence is even more culturally ingrained and considered inevitable. There are 400,000 back logged raped kits around the country unprocessed. When Detroit processed 100 of these, they found 12 serial rapists.

Women are still subjected to the type of 'what were you wearing' type of questioning, there is social stigma and shame--and There may be women who question whether their experience was actually rape, but I don't see that later as as the major problem of under reporting as the former.

All women live in a kind of primal fear, we can't walk freely in many places men can without feeling uncomfortable, if not actually frightened.

Dworkin most certainly had PTSD, but she saw the brutality women experience from the inside. Her writings are quite good.

I like your action based answer, I would point out that the beginning of action has to be awareness. If we increase awareness, perhaps we can start with real education
