Imagine all the "genius" that would be produced by all the women who actually are working hard and are genuinely talented and are just trying to grow in their careers. I'm not waiting for abusive men to apologize. I'm waiting for them to be transformed. There's a big difference.

We give women's lives so little consideration to begin with, and basically none once she voices harm caused by a man. This assumption that we need to find a way towards forgiving men is so entrenched that therapists have badgered me to "mentalize" my abuser. It is almost like the worst thing a woman can do is somehow insert herself into the path of a man's upward trajectory to success.
