Domestic Abuse and Sexual Assault related songs - Compiled by Gerri Gribi

Fantiasic site with a discussion about which songs make us believe that domestic violence and abuse can be "romantic". You wonder where women get these ideas and why they stay so long or how they don't recognize aubse? Look at these songs!

Domestic Abuse and Sexual Assault related songs - Compiled by Gerri Gribi: "I'm often asked to suggest songs related to domestic abuse or sexual assault, so I've compiled this annotated list of songs with accessible recorded versions and links to lyrics when I can find them online.

Inclusion on this list is not a personal endorsement. I simply provide a wide sampling of experiences and stories, for analysis and discussion of how these issues are reflected in popular culture...or in some cases how songs brainwash us into thinking violence is 'romantic.' Readers have suggested additional songs over the years...you be the judge of whether a specific song speaks to your needs. If you would like to suggest a song you MUST PROVIDE: Song Title, Artist, Album Title, and a sentence describing the song."
