PART 3

DIVORCE IS NOT THE WORST THING

The legal system is designed to protect men from the superior power of the state but not to protect women or children from the superior power of men. It therefore provides strong guarantees for the rights of the accused but essentially no guarantees for the rights of the victim. If one set out by design to devise a system for provoking intrusive post-traumatic symptoms, one could not do better than a court of law.

—JUDITH HERMAN, Trauma and Recovery (1992)
