oh my God this is such a burning reply.???? Does this mean that women were blind to these issues( the toxic relationships and the abuse from men) in the past years not to see it or were they suppressed to become voiceless? i have recently read some posts from African women who are speaking up about the challenges, abuse, violence they go through in their homes. What then is causing these women to speak up now that they were not doing before? Also does this mean the place of a woman in the home has been completely misunderstood?
