What is it with society's obsession of romanticizing female trauma

No being in abusive relationships or having men objectify me sexualize me and assault me didn't empower me. It has caused so much pain that I carry with me everywhere I go and I always will. It wasnt my choice to be objected to all those things and it certainly isnt in my interest to feel empowered by those acts . So shut the fuck up

It's part of our society's shallowness that everything becomes a trope and two of our favourites is 'overcoming' and that 'women are abused by men'

We have a hard time accepting 'shit happens' when it can't be cast into a redeeming narrative-ie we can't sit with suffering or as a group process and accept complexity eg, men can be abused
