Woman bruising power. Look at Rihanna getting her face smashed by Chris Brown, sang about how she would walk away, but in reality, she crawled by to Brown. Maybe it's something stamped into her mind when she's young, watching her mom get abused by male figures and she things that's normal, that it's an indication of what a man is.
Most women don't talk about it, hide their bruises with makeup and clothing, but a lot of them get abused at home by their SO, but they stick around. Maybe they like to get dominated and the bruises are indication of how much of a man their abusers are.
