Woman Banned

Principle # 9 . continued ;

 # 2 . WHY DOESN'T SHE LEAVE ? - Womynkind will ONLY ask , WHY DOES HE BATTER  ? Womynkind will however continue to address how society FORCES womyn to stay in abusive relationships and will seek REAL solutions to make the escape from this culturally supported enslavement possible .

My Comment ; It took me a long time today to write my response to this principle , because I am so SICK and TIRED of hearing this question . SHE must have all the help she needs , so why doesn't she leave ? . 85 % of all ABUSED womyn who are KILLED are killed AFTER they leave the relationship ? WHY ? Because the POLICE and the COURTS don't protect them . WHY ? Because they are MAINLY made up of MEN who FOLLOW the majority of MALE thinking  and still THINK it's a PRIVATE family matter , and SHE must have DONE something to make him BEAT her . They get a SLAP on the wrist and sent BACK HOME where they can continue BEATING her ,
and most likely KILL her . 10 WOMYN every day are KILLED in the U.S. BY MEN who supposedly LOVE them . You may ask , WHY DOESN'T SHE GET A RESTRAINING ORDER ? Every battered womyn that I've spoken to has told me that it's a USELESS piece of paper , that offers NO PROTECTION . In the order HE has to STAY just 500 ft. away ! Do you know how CLOSE that is to the VICTIM , and she CAN'T call for help until he steps over that line !  When and IF he is arrested , he has a CHOICE . He can go to JAIL , or go to BATTERERS GROUP . Which one do you think he chooses ? A story that was told to me , while on tour , has STUCK with me because it is still TRUE today . The host that brought me in to perform told me that her and her husband had run a BATTERERS GROUP , and at the end of the course they GRADUATE with certificates of completion . One of the MEN who graduated took his certificate HOME , KILLED his WIFE , and placed the certificate on her BODY ! Need I say more ? So PLEASE stop asking , WHY DOESN'T SHE LEAVE ? And put the FOCUS on where it BELONGS , on HIM !!!
