This is why so many men are aggressively attempting to silence women now. They want their kids and grandkids to believe they were good men and their wives were treated well.

@JessPected Some women didn't want to talk about it. Some women would be punished in brutalized if they talked about it. Some women absolutely did talk about it. But men are taught to minimize the truth and call them dramatic or dismiss it if it doesn't fit their own narrative.
@JessPected “Well I never heard my mom/aunts/grandmas complaining!” No, honey, you just never asked or listened.
@JessPected Seriously! I adored both my grandparents and only after both passed did my uncle tell me my grandfather hit my grandmother. I was and still am STUNNED.
@JessPected Even as a little kid, when older women said “if anything happened to Buford, God forbid, I’d never marry again” I knew it wasn’t the undying power of true love so much as them just not wanting to bother with another dude.
@JessPected who's aggressively trying to silence women?
@JessPected The point of life is not to be happy. No person over the age of fifty should really believe it is the point of life to be happy. The point of life is to live and to make it work.
