I also get exasperated at people who say that they are going to end sex based violence. Like this is something so trivial and easily solved. Instead, it's so widespread and deeply ingrained that stopping it will require strategies we haven't even thought of yet dispite all our years of striving. See below: you may be maimed for simply neglecting to say "Good morning."

Great article and well put. Of course DA will never end and to say it will end, I fear still buys into fears of those that have not suffered it, into thinking something went wrong for it to happen/ that someone did something to cause it. Nobody wants a society plagued with DA and some out there think it has to end, but it will never end. But we can educate and address it at its root cause and reduce the numbers impacted hopefully. There needs to be a total shift in thinking around DA. Your blog tackles that head on and I hope that you are heard on this.
