Betrayed by the Angel

While reading this article it really hit me that some people are raised so differently and so oppressed by "how women should be" that it is almost scary. Debra Anne Davis was so afraid to stand up to men that she endured what no one ever should, from a young age of getting gabbed with a pencil, to not such a young age and being raped. It almost makes me angry that someone could have such little back bone to stop these things, and to not even think that the person was deserving of punishment for their actions. I was raised completely different, someone tries to hurt me, you don't stand for that. I truly feel for her in how much pain and confusion she must have had to go through with everything in her life, no one should have to deal with that and I think that parents should teach their children young that simple fact. Injuring another person is never okay, it may have been far more accepted in the past for men to dominate women but we are in the 20th century now and there is no tolerance, everyone should know and accept it. I am glad that Debra finally "grew some balls" and was able to be rude at times, even if she doesn't exactly know when to be and when not to, but things take time to master and I believe she is strong and will make it.
