The chapter on Violence in The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls is the most controversial of the "sins." I stand in the disturbance and discomfort caused by the questions I've posted in it. An excerpt feministgiant.com/p/how-many-rap…
I insist you stand in that discomfort and disturbance too, because women, girls, nonbinary and queer people face more than disturbance and discomfort -- they are dying, and patriarchy shows little concern.
In the chapter, I quote University of Miami School of Law professor Mary Anne Franks @ma_franks'2016 law review article Men, Women, and Optimal Violence repository.law.miami.edu/fac_articles/2… 
In her appraisal of what she calls the asymmetry of violence between men & women, Franks explains, “While both men & women can, and do, use violence vs each other, men’s violence vs women is far more common, less justified, and more destructive than women’s violence vs men.”
One of the reasons for that asymmetry is because “men do not fear retaliation for violence against women, whereas women do fear retaliation for their use of violence against men,” Franks explains. feministgiant.com/p/how-many-rap…
