I wonder why she married a guy who was forcing her to have sex against her will. Maybe she thought it would make him stop? Maybe she thought that was as good a guy as she was going to be able to find?
Something about this article does not ring true. It is as if the author invented the history of her own supposedly tragic circumstances. In the process she repeats all the cliches of female victimhood. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, but the writer seems to have an upper middle class point of view, while the circumstances she describes rarely happen to people with the ability to express themselves in writing as she does. I suspect she majored in feminist studies in college.
