Where is the outrage? We could shut this freaking country down if there was the national will to stop this shit.

And that represents just a VERY TINY FRACTION of the beatings.

And let's not even talk about the smaller number of women - those who were murdered by their partners or ex partners.


Where is the outrage, indeed.

As in: "Just biology, natural behavior for men, y'know?"



It is twisted and sick and very disheartening to realize that many of us are just viewed as natural prey.

and harassment.

It's just how boys are.

Girls just have to accept it and deal with it.

It is how boys are taught to be. (Or allowed to be)

It is how girls are taught to accept it and deal with it.


I think that my daughter knows not to accept it. Or at least, I hope so.

However, the really odd thing is how many mothers teach their daughters to just endure and accept it because it is all that the mothers have ever known, or been allowed to know.

Ultimately, our society may prosper or fail by how well we develop educated, thinking women - by definition true, I know; I often think that the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun (or a bad guy with a congress, for that matter), is a girl with a book.

Women are largely not even considered human. Anywhere. Including in the United States. Female anatomy trumps female humanity. Almost everywhere. Women are incubators. Breeding cattle whose reproductive capacity is to be controlled by someone else. Because: Gawd. Thus, the epidemic of sexual and physical violence and abuse is ignored - invisible. Because women and girls are just not considered human - or are considered somehow lesser humans. Abuse of farm and other animals is largely invisible too (however I think there's probably more outrage about that than about the abuse of women). That's no coincidence. Women are cattle. Property. So are farm animals.

I'm not saying this is the entire issue. But it's a good chunk of it. I know men/boys are victims of violence and rape too - and that there are other factors in play. But this is, IMO one of them.

At one point in history, women and children were kidnapped with the primary goal of producing offspring, but no more.

Now that there are so many men with disposable cash, renting them out as prostitutes is an incredibly profitable industry. There are the constant reminders that a girl's / woman's worth is primarily in her appearance - her sexual desirability.

The problems caused by objectification and pornification are ubiquitous but most on the left treat them like a big joke.

Bingo. Less than human: decoration. Object of sexual gratification for others but with no human qualities or agency of their own.

I can't disagree w/ your assertion. It's a human rights issue. But since women aren't considered human....it's not an issue. Zero outrage.
