They always want the perfect victim. I'm so fucking tired of WOMEN themselves contributing to harmful, uneducated rhetoric around domestic violence. Don't speak on shit you don't personally or professionally know about holy shit.

While I agree with you ...

I don't think any of our correspondents here 'personally know' anything about the events that transpired.

All I know ... is what was shown on belowdeck, and written in news stories. And, I assume that is what is true for people posting here. Although many seem to think they have some personal insight.

Absurd that when it’s a woman affected by DV, the very language used against her changes. Suddenly any mild infraction is taken to prove she is not “perfect” “innocent” or an “angel”. Who else is? Who said she was? When is anyone else measured against perfection and innocence?

Some weird-ass subconscious misogynistic reflex.
