As I approach my seventh decade, I wish this dialogue was available 5 decades ago.
I grew up with the concept that marriage was a patriarchal institution design to keep women oppressed. Sadly I thought if I could discover how it kept women oppressed I would have the perfect relationship, simply by not oppressing women.
Little did I know the heart ache that it would bring me.

I appreciate this and extend my deepest sympathy for the pain this brought you.
Hannah have you read "Venus the Darkside" by Mary T Cleary and Roy Sheppard?
Not yet! But IтАЩve heard great things about it.
I am a retired nurse and there is a heap of research on what is known as horizontal violence within the nursing profession access through CINAHL.
Reading that book only confirmed what I already knew from my own experiences.
