Women are expected to forgive everything, or they're not whole for some reason. Forget the nightmares, PTSD, STDs, physical injury, shunning from assholes in the community, no, we have to obsess over whether she forgives as a sign of healing, not whether her physical or mental state is improving.
This is especially true for women
