The Broad-Cast, Episode 16- Black And Blue Are Still In Fashion (Patreon)

Hey there, Patrons! Before you say anything, and hopefully before you've listened, I need to let you know that the episode number in this title and the episode number I say in the intro are not the same. Don't worry, it's the right episode and everything, I just got mixed up and posted them out of order. 

This episode, Candace tells us the true story of her own struggle in an abusive relationship, and the many obstacles she faced as a woman in a world where women are blamed for their own abuse. She describes the frustration of friends and family who didn't understand why she didn't leave, the indifference or downright hostility of law enforcement, and the bizarrely contradictory behavior of her abuser. 

There is so much to be understood that many people simply brush off as weakness or complacence in context of the victim. Listening to Candace now, it's clear that she's not a weak person, and in some ways the victims of abuse are the strongest women out there, provided they make it out alive. This was a great talk, and I'm sorry that I didn't post this sooner. We recorded shortly before I got sick and it got lost in the shuffle, I'm afraid. 

Thanks to you all for listening, see you soon with The Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms!
