Part of it is redefining our definitions of abuse, which is good. Part of it is ignoring all the selfish things these women did, which is bad.

Does the latter make the former inconsequential? No but it does somewhat change the context IMO.

I imagine in another 10 or 20 years time there'll be another reckoning and we'll start to look back on the nature of these relationships much, much differently. Hopefully it'll involve analyzing the different types of abuse suffered by both parties at the hands of their lovers and us as a society finding healthier ways to establish relationships going forward.
