1. White women go to prison for defending themselves, too

along with black women who defend themselves against black men. WOC have it worse because they're immediately slotted into the underclass, no matter how intelligent they are or how well spoken. That's why the meathead cops didn't listen, although it's unlikely they'd have listened to a white nurse, either.

The problem is the deeply ingrained hatred of women and the total dismissal of our stories of abuse.

I hope Ms. McCarter is able to heal. One thing she said should be taught to our daughters and granddaughters: if he choikes you, it's time to leave. You're doing to be dead if you don't.
