The truest definition of insanity

The real definition of insanity:

The messages I received from our justice system, law enforcement, the NS College of Social Workers, and even my employer were steeped in misogyny. As a woman, I was told I couldn’t be both brave and afraid at the same time. I was even asked, “If you were so scared, why did you engage?” The expectation was that I should hide in my car or walk away, as though my safety was less important than my submission. When women try to defend themselves—when we’re brave, angry, and assertive in the face of danger—we’re labeled as irrational, even crazy. We’re seen as “objectively unreasonable,” even when the threat involves our homes and our children. The myth of the “mama bear” protecting her cubs seems just that—mythical. Women are expected to “sit” and “stay” in dangerous situations, resorting to the same ineffective methods of seeking help that continue to fail us, all while our safety is at risk. By focusing only on how those who are harmed respond, rather than examining the causes of harm in the first place, we miss an opportunity for true change and growth. As Einstein said, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
