No Predator Has the Authority to Rename Violence As a “Right.”

Abusers call what they do to women and children by many names. They dress it up with lies, excuses, and false respectability.

• They label it “love.”
• They call it “discipline.”
• They call it “child marriage” (even in the U.S.)
• They call it a “blessing” if the child is impregnated by the older boy or adult male who raped her, even if it kills both children. But it can’t ruin the guy’s future though. 
• Some even dare to call invasion of boundaries, robbing opportunities, and violation of safety a “right.”

“Some men—and women who support them—believe women should have fewer freedoms than men, expecting them to submit to male beliefs, wants, and desires.”

Anyway…

That’s how they get away with it. That’s how they keep vulnerable women and children silent for years. That’s how they pile shame, guilt, and doubt onto Survivors—when all of that weight belongs to the predator. (Then here comes the general public with “why now”  but I’ve talked about that already and we Survivors will never stop reminding you of how foolish that gross predator apologist mess sounds.)

But let’s tell the truth: just because someone calls something a “right” does not make it a right.

A right should never strip dignity, safety, or voice from the oppressed. A right should never demand silence from the victimized. A right should never protect abusers while leaving women and children unprotected.

We must stop letting abusers and their defenders twist language to hide violence. We must praise women who guard their safety and shame the systems, lies, and excuses that protect predators.

At We Survive Abuse, we affirm this truth: your safety is sacred, your boundaries are righteous, and no abuser has the authority to rename violence as a right.

• A “right” that harms women and children is not a right—it is abuse.

• Your safety is sacred. No predator has the authority to rename violence as a “right.”

• Shame belongs to abusers, not to the women who protect themselves and their children.

• We must stop praising predators for their excuses and start praising women for their boundaries.

• A true right never silences the oppressed—it protects them.
