They always ask why she didn’t say no. Why she didn’t leave. Why she didn’t tell someone. But what they never ask is: why did he think he could kill her? This post is a wake-up call. It’s not just about rejection—it’s about survival. About growing up watching violence. About the women who said no and died anyway. About the system that keeps failing us. If you’ve ever blamed a victim, read this. If you’ve ever been one, this is for you.

The question isn’t “Why didn’t she leave?” The real question is: “Why did he feel entitled to hurt her in the first place?” Survivors don’t owe us perfect exits. Abusers owe us accountability. Here are the real numbers—and the real conversation.

He wasn’t confused. He wasn’t “just a kid.” Jamie Miller killed Katie because she said no—and Adolescence makes one thing painfully clear: boys are being taught that rejection is a reason to destroy. In this post, I don’t hold back. This is about misogyny, male entitlement, and the girls who die because society keeps protecting fragile men.
