in some of the rape cases that we've seen in steubenville and now in maryville that you just referenced with daisy. >> in maryville daisy actually mentioned she had seen someone with a t-shirt where it said matt-1, daisy-0. that attitude, it's so wrong. you sort of switch to domestic abuse because, again, i think we tend to blame the victims of domestic abuse. certainly when you're talking about getting kicked out of your home or losing your job. as i mentioned in the intro, that's a tactic that is actually used. because it keeps the victim economically dependent. i know you've sponsored federal legislation to try to deal with it. talk to us a little bit about that. >> you know, it's clear that in our civil society today, there's a paternalism that has really kept us from having a debate about humanism. and as a result of that, the rights of women and girls has been suppressed for far too long. and being a survivor should be something that's heralded. given what we've gone through in terms of our humanity.
