Dixie Lee RayIt is not possible to be truly balanced in one's views of an abuser and an abused woman. As Dr. Judith Herman explains eloquently in her masterwork Trauma and Recovery, โneutralityโ actually serves the interests of the perpetrator much more than those of the victim and so is not neutral.

To him, that means you see the couple's problems as partly her fault and partly his fault, which means it isn't abuse.

Henry BeardI would say any film can be called feminist that has female characters who have agency in their life, that are in charge of their fate or do important things or take up half the space.

In this respect there was in the past a change of mentality, in which the law and the need for punishment were obscured. Ultimately this also narrowed the concept of law, which in fact is not only just being nice or courteous, but is found in the truth. And another component of the truth is that I must punish the one who has sinned against real love
