How could we achieve this?
We could overhaul our justice and court system to ensure a more appropriate response to sex-based crimes. Perpetrators responsible for the deaths of the four people just mentioned would have received proper punishment for their prior convictions of rape/sex-based crimes.
We could re-educate our judges and lawyers on male privilege and breed out victim blaming from our systems.
Now that is a universe I would like to live in.
Until then I will keep reminding people of the power they have in helping people to see the light on domestic violence.
