I dunno if I'd call that a silver lining. The alternative to religious violence is likely the ongoing issue of women being murdered by men who once loved them in some way. Less of an immediate indicator of a dangerous form of violence and more another body to add to a tragedy so common we consider it just normal day to day life.
Yeah, I was sort of struggling how to make anything positive out of something that is horrible regardless. Silver lining doesn't really work the best but I struggled how to phrase it otherwise. Violence against women and the hardship they face truly is all too common, normalized, under prosecuted and a silent killer. There's a real mental health crisis here in this country and the continual lack of funding for preventative resources is to blame for so much of that suffering.
I apologize profusely if it felt like my wording was aimed at lessening her loss and assure you that in no way had I intended it to do so.
No worries. I didn't see this as callousness and was simply providing the perspective that the likely alternative also says a lot of bad things about the dangers to a woman in America but we're just more used to it. A Jewish woman in America is probably currently in more danger due to being a woman than being Jewish, and that's not saying she experiences no increased danger from being Jewish.
