Yes to everything you wrote. One of the things I realized, re-remembered really, after my divorce & his death was that I had never wanted to be married in the first place! Joke was on me as I was one of those women punished by the law that the higher earner had to pay the other spouse in the divorce. Almost 11 years after my ex's death, I still hear about things from my now adult children that happened to them when he had custody.
“We are living in a period of profound anti-woman backlash, in which millions of women worldwide are living lives of daily trauma, abuse, control, belittlement and suffocation of the self, perpetrated against them by men, in increasing numbers and with increasing intensity.” This is such a powerful, clear sighted assessment of the state of things in 2025.
Thank you so much for pouring your heart, soul and whole self into your writing, Rachel. I really appreciate the rigour with which you approach your analysis and your bravery in always digging deeper, beyond the usual consensus narratives.
I gain a lot from your writing and look forward to each new post; there’s always a lot in there to process, reflect on and absorb. I look forward to your Q&A sessions.
This is such a redemptive and important project. I hope the creation of it forms part of your healing too. Small revolutions, every day: LOVE it. ❤️
