Thirty years ago, women’s rights advocates working to pass the 1994 Violence Against Women Act found domestic violence was still something of a hushed topic

Domestic violence thirty years ago I guess was not really a "national conversation" and pretty much seemingly swept under the rug.
So here we are thirty years later...and imo women as a population are still marginalized by society and by some of those in authority. LE, legal people, politicians, clergy etc look the other way, especially in certain regions of the US and certainly in countries outside the US. Many don't consider domestic violence a big deal. We see it on these pages all the time.
As long as society stacks the power dynamic in men's favor not much IMO is going to change. As a matter of fact all I see are efforts to turn back the clock where women had even less control of their own bodies and life.
