Thank god we seem to be moving towards an era where women’s stories and viewpoints are respected. It’s a testament to the corruptive power of the patriarchy that police dismissing Kendall’s fears caused her to dismiss them herself, putting herself and her daughter in danger by continuing a “romantic” relationship with a serial killer. Women have internalized the disdain heaped upon them — believed the tripe pedaled by the media and male-run institutions of power. That hurts everyone. We need to hear ALL voices if we want to know the truth. Thank you for writing this interesting piece.
