Deb/Linen - sorry the 1st part of my email made no sense due to lack of proofing....bits of thoughts not properly strung together -- sorry!!!
This is how I meant to lead in
..........
Quote:
Deb - you have experienced the core emotional issues women deal with apparently across this universe and probably all others. (Other core issues experienced by many women included those of rape and violence, and other core threats to survival and bodily integrity.)
Core issues of emotional vulnerability to the coarse and uncouth such as those you experienced are so universal, due to the way we are wired to experience reality. We are extremely vulnerable to not only physical and sexual abuse and exploitation -- because we are less powerful and can always be coerced or forced. But we are also vulnerable to emotional abuse and manipulation, because the core nature of our being is to experience life with integrity, meaning not compartmentalised.

I think the rest of what I wrote was strung together a bit more clearly...
Peace & blessings,
