Even if the patriarchy does not want you to know...

Women's Equality Party on Twitter: "56% (45,000) of the women and girls murdered last year worldwide were killed by their husband, partner or other relative. This should be headline news everywhere. https://t.co/hFCQo2QIGV" / Twitter https://twitter.com/WEP_UK/status/1595692533870477312?s=20&t=faM-SnJ9blR4l_Ued32Epw 

Even if the topic of violence against women was definitely not taken seriously at the old workplace. A place where faculty made jokes about their former colleague who killed his wife. 

(Probably, he did: "Man accused of killing wife is found dead, ending 15-year saga: 'We weren't able to get this done' - Los Angeles Times

As if it were another titillating story, like a true crime TV show to them.

"Please, help us be desensitized so we can cope in this environment" is what their jokes seem to say. 

I hope they would not do that if her children were around.

But perhaps that is their trauma response?
