Tracing back in history back to the witch-hunt: controlling women outside of the patriarchal control, women who talked to much, women you nagged at their husbands. Violence against women back then was part of the social order. Prostitutes did not count/ lower class women did not account for this. Up until 1983 there was no such thing as a charge of rape if the perpetrator was the husband and it was built into marriage contract that men access to sexual actions towards their wife. Consent was automatically given as soon as you were married. 1800s preachers would advice the men to discipline their wife. 1982 margarete michelle sta(cid:374)ds up i(cid:374) the house of (cid:272)o(cid:373)(cid:373)o(cid:374)s starts talking about wife battery in the house of commons, an the response of mps was to laugh.
