For those who are keeping track of such data.

Perhaps curious the measure of patriarchy’s impact.

Where do we count the number of times she didn’t fight back, didn’t report anything, didn’t even see it that way?

The times she reflexively gave it up to protect the hims from himselves.

The times she instantly changed the scene and the narrative from looking and feeling like the truth.

Those numbers would be something.
