In response to "Through A Rapist's Eyes":

Rebecca Harrington, I hope you *do* create a "viral email" of your own with 
accurate prevention/education tips!  I've thought of doing this for years but 
haven't.  Why shouldn't we be spreading accurate information in this manner, 
even as others spread dangerous, victim-blaming misinformation in the name of 
promoting "safety?"  

If you do (or anyone else does), would you share it on this list so we can 
help spread the "virus"?  And Wanda, could you share your email that you send 
back whenever you get these emails?  

Until the violence stops, Ben.

Quote of the Month, October 2007, National Domestic Violence Awareness Month:

"I said 'Excuse me, I OWE you a job??' He said, 'Yeah, 'cause you wouldn't 
have that job if it wasn't for me.'

Typical abuser thinking. I had started and graduated college, had run a 
non-profit for 4 years, and was the principal author of the child abduction 
statute, amongst other things, but I got the job because of him? 

I replied 'They didn't hire me because you beat me, they hired me because of 
what I've done since then.'" - Jan Russell
