In truth, abuse exists no matter who you are or what you do, as we are all learning via the #MeToo movement. This cry of “she deserved it” and the outdated idea that there are ‘good women’ who command respect and ‘bad girls’ who don’t - rather than just ‘women’ as a sisterhood who should all command love and respect regardless - is the kind of attitude that has let sexual harassment and abuse prevail.
