10 Swords and Empress...victimization of womanhood?
I would like to add a suggestion.
To me the following cards would describe such an event:
Ace Wands / Devil/ Strength reversed/ Tower
When I saw strength reversed, the biest on top of the girl, it gave me a shiver and made clear sense.
This was for a romantic relationship. So I thought it had to deal with date rape.
No. 5/Swords and 7/Swords is victimization. Taking advantage of someone, stealing from them. 10/Swords is just shutting them up. This is certainly abuse of womanhood, but more in line with silencing a woman who is usually in control and therefore likely speaks her mind. I know we think of rape when it comes to men trying to take away female power, but many rape victims speak up and keep their power. This is verbal harassment and threats to the point where the woman who was speaking out and standing up for others ceases to do so.10 Swords and Empress...victimization of womanhood?
The 8 of swords looks much more like rape to me.
