In Australia they have a saying...
"She’ll be right, mate."
In a nation that espouses She’ll be right, mate-ship and a fair go, we must at this time admit…
- she won’t be right if she is laying battered on the floor
- she won’t be right if she lives in fear in her own household
- she won’t be right if she watches helplessly as her children are abused
- she won’t be right if she is told countless times she is worthless
- she won’t be right if she is manipulated, coerced or threatened.
- she won’t be right if she has no right to her own thoughts/feelings/body
- she won’t be right if she walks on eggshells just to feel safe
- she won’t be right until the laws and agencies in place, protect her and her children rather than the perpetrators
She will only be right, when he admits he has no right to beat, demean, degrade, shame, use and destroy her…
For Australia is a nation of not just mates, but women and children ~
