New ads hinting at domestic violence offends the ‘unoffendable’

By Amber James | gargoyle@flagler.edu

One in every four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime, according to the National Violence Against Women Survey.

This woman could be your sister or mother, your next door neighbor, the cashier at the supermarket, the sales associate who starts you a dressing room. She could be your best friend, your boss’s wife or our co-worker. She could be… the model in an advertisement in our favorite fashion magazine, trying to sell a suit or haircut at the expense of domestic violence?

Sitting in her office, surrounded by framed pictures of her journey, Blonder is wearing a pair of silver earrings with dangling bicycles and matching necklace, perfectly toned and tan and is glowing with a happiness that explodes into the room.

Sept. 11, 2001: Looking back on a generation’s loss of certainty

By Michael Newberger | mnewberger@flagler.edu
