Not placing blame, HE shot HER. She chose not to say anything. Only the squeaky wheel gets the grease. She had no reason to say anything, she had no reason to stay silent, she had every reason to put in a police report what happened. She could file a report right now if she wanted.
You can't be mad that people are laughing and not treating a situation with the respect and seriousness it deserves, when you refuse to address it for what it is.
I'm not making these comments to disregard her or how she feels, I'm looking at the fact that there are other women facing similar things and they need not follow her example. She isn't at FAULT for ANYTHING but her conduct is not above criticism.
If you're not gonna be honest about the reasons why Meg said she did what she did then you're being intellectually dishonest and ignoring a very valid point she made.
If you think because of Meg that women will now suddenly think it's ok to not immediately put the name of your abuser or person who assaulted you out there then it's gotta be asked just where have you been for the past few hundred years because it's been like that. Women see day after day men who legit have admitted to abusing women not held to any sort of consequences by the law and even embraced by the public. They also see that same justice system routinely fuck men who share the same skin color as their abusers over and are taught not to trust it...so given that we live in a world where women have to be learn to not only be cautious of men who can harm you but also be weary of calling the very people whose job it is to protect you just how exactly should one feel comfortable going about this in a way that would seem to guarantee some form.of justice?
