Thank you, Shane. Even now, in modern domestic violence cases, there is not so much consent as a technique for survival for the woman and her family. Sometimes it works and survival is attained; however the damage cannot be undone. With respect and gratitude, Lin

Hi Lin,

I cannot imagine what it is like to go through that experience. I feel so deeply for the survivors of those experiences, for the utterly life shattering nature of such domestic violence. My hope in writing about consent within film and literature is to at least bring some attention to these real world issues.

Shane
