Cause of Death: Woman (warning: graphic)

http://www.causeofdeathwoman.net/

I almost cannot comment on the material on this site, because as a rape and domestic violence survivor, I can't find the words. These women speak eloquently for themselves.

And some men want to take us backwards. Shame on them.

Years ago I sheltered abused women in my home for the local women's support organization... (in some locales, it is even more serious than we read) the stories I know are outrageous

thanks for the link...

I'm a guy with a wonderful wife and three daughters. Of course I don't mean what I posted in the subject line, but that's the way too many wingnuts think. Women are equal (if not better) than men and abusing them is unthinkable to me.

Who begged her rapist to marry her.

I cannot imagine the pain that these women live through (and die from).

I'm about to publish a story called "The Rape of Kyra Collins" that is along that line (spoiler alert: she doesn't get raped).
