Welcome to the damage control portion of the press tour
“We handle one instance off-screen, and instead show the aftermath and impact on the victim and the mother of the perpetrator.” So, unlikeI think what our show does, and what I’m proud of, is that we choose to focus on the violence against women that is inherent in a patriarchal system. There are many ‘historical’ or history-based shows that romanticise powerful men in sexual/marriage relationships with women who were actually not of an age to consent, even if they were ‘willing.
This is done not necessarily by those we would define as rapists or abusers, but often by generally well-meaning men who are unable to see that what they are doing is traumatic and oppressive, because the system that they all live in normalises it. It’s less obvious than rape but just as insidious, though in a different way., where rapists, abusers, and well-meaning “nice guys” abounded.
