The Roots of Domestic Violence
Caleigh Montoya, Staff Writer
Domestic violence roots itself in wanting power and control over your partner. Insecurity, childhood trauma, and / or economic hardship are all possible grounds for domestic violence to begin. Signs of abuse include jealousy, cruelty to animals or children, verbal abuse, intense and sudden mood swings, threats of physical punishment, and unrealistic expectations. Warning signs of someone who may become abusive are tight relationship roles, controlling money or housing, verbal abuse, and arguments escalating intensely.

The good thing is that most people across all political parties back the abortion pill.

There’s a lot of contributing factors leading to the inequality of women, but one of the main ones is demonstrated in commercialized retail items made in bulk, specifically targeting towards women. By rejecting women’s needs and increasing stress on their personal financial struggles, large corporations are bleeding women dry. This phenomenon is known as the pink tax.
