Article Don't discount patriarchy's role in deadly domestic violence against Black women
Quote:Patriarchy is an American value. Masculinity and guns too often collude. Cultural mores such as “boys will be boys” dismiss boorish behavior. Victim-blaming questions women about why they stayed in an abusive relationship or why they wore a certain outfit if they were sexually assaulted. Look no further than the sentiments around the likes of Jeffrey Epstein or Sean Combs.
