I am very sorry to break this to you but most violence against women is done by a man they know in their own home. It has gotten worse with the overt anti-women's rights preached by the GOP.

Oh, I know. I'm just saying that panicking or spiraling and saying things like "Women can't even be safe in their own homes anymore" is not helpful to the person saying them or anyone believing them. And it might be a language issue, because when someone says "their own home" I am picturing a person living alone or holding more power in the household.

But this is like saying that if they don't live alone or "hold more power" then they don't live in "their own home"

Maybe. Just a quirk in how I think about that phrase. If I said "my own home" while living with roommates or partner(s), that seems wrong to me. I would say "In our own home" or "in my roommates'/polycule's home."
