From a woman who has suffered from spouse abuse:

"What Travis Frey has done is exactly what most abusers do, only he put it in a contract."

"The point is that women in abusive situations know all too well the pain that Ruth Frey has been put in. THIS is what abuse is, although normally the men themselves don't even have such a firm grasp on it. But women all over the world will tell you stories to make your blood curdle. Stories of being tied and left, of being raped and humiliated, stories of getting in 'trouble' for not wearing heels, for not making him 'look good' for gaining 10 lbs...

Travis Frey's are everywhere; it’s just that most of us don't get to show the paperwork to prove it. We only have our words to be taken on and those, according to the justice system and many men out there, are nothing."

RE: “When Rape Is A Gift”

"Play acting sexualized violence is not freedom in a world where one out of every four women is raped in her lifetime. It’s fetishizing your own oppression. And if that’s what a woman needs to get off, well I understand how that can happen when you don’t have many healthy alternatives. But let’s not wrap that up in shiny paper & a bow and call it sexual freedom."
