In which the author explains why, exactly, William Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" is not a comedy and is, in fact, a tragedy that openly displays domestic abuse.

POSSIBLE TRIGGER WARNINGS: Discussion of domestic abuse, emotional abuse, gas lighting, and lack of consent in non-sexual situations. If you think I missed one, let me know. 

Written for my Grade Twelve English assignment, and given full marks.

The UnSlut Project by MeghanJoyceTozer
206 parts Complete
I was the 6th-grade "slut." And I kept a diary. So I decided to create The UnSlut Project in the hopes that my own diary entries could provide some perspective to girls who currently feel trapped and ashamed. I am publishing these entries one at a time, without changing a single word except for the names of the people involved. My limited commentary, which is confined to brackets in each entry, is meant to provide the relief of my current perspective, fifteen years later. The UnSlut Project: Working to undo the dangerous slut shaming in our schools, communities, media, and culture by sharing knowledge and experiences.

Harrison is like an open book. Ask him pretty much anything and he's bound to tell you. Or will he. Somethings up with Harrison and someone is bound to find out. This is a darker fiction spin. With descriptive violence, emotional turmoil, and potentially triggering writing. You have been warned. Recommended 16+ I didn't have a beta reader, so please let me know any misspellings or odd words and I can fix it :)

And many more scenarios that mess our human minds up to the max; most of the times leaving us broken and damaged feeling in the head.
Sleeping with the Enemy | LT ✔️ by lestwinsdesire
36 parts Complete Mature
This story is about a topic that is very sensitive but very prevalent in today's society. So often we read or hear about domestic violence and it's almost always violence against women but what is constantly swept under the rug is violence against men. Warning: This story may cause readers to experience a wide range of emotions especially if it's personal. Believe me, I understand because I was a victim of domestic abuse so it's touchy for me too and my intention is not for anyone to relive the pain but to simply bring awareness to the issue. ❤️
