		<description>Sadly, too many women participate in the silencing of women who struggle against patriarchy and it&#039;s attendant poverty, almost guaranteed if one is a single mother.  The situation for single mothers in amerikkka is one of desperation, increasing health problems, hunger and slightly better for the children.  It is not acceptable to even speak about one&#039;s struggle.  I find this to be the case among activist women who enjoy middle class life while those below them are supposed to suffer in silence.  Absurd.</description>

Here is an example of how western media report yet another case of male terrorism against women.  Yes, the police are still seeking answers as to why a supposedly respectable, pleasant, cheerful man named Bruce Pardo should murder 9 human beings.  I suggest the police look up the word femicide and male supremacy, because Pardo could not accept a woman has the right to divorce her husband.  Note, Pardo also murdered a young girl by shooting her in the face.  Hardly the act of a &#039;respectable, pleasant cheerful man.&#039;  But then the person who said these words was Pardo&#039;s attorney and this man had not challenged Pardo on his misogynistic perceived  male sex right to view women as his personal property.

Plenty of men who divorce do not go on to murder their ex female partners but then again, there are plenty of men who do commit femicide and always it is perceived as &#039;just an isolated or tragic case because the poor man was obviously under a lot of stress and supposedly just snapped.&#039; 

As first commentator astutely said, we need more analysis - only fact is the analysis is readily available and guess what?  It is all about male supremacy or to use that old fashioned word - patriarchy which is at the core of male sexual, physical and psychological violence against women.   Which is why western media refuses to even mention this fact, far better to claim male violence against women in western culture are isolated, rare incidents, whereas male violence against women in other cultures is due to such countries not being as &#039;westernised&#039; as the west.  Must not &#039;join up the dots&#039; because if we did then the world would truly split wide open.</description>

		<description>[...] Femblogs, an increase in reported DV is good&#160;news!  Jump to Comments In the past week, Human Rights Watch and at least three major feminist blogs have posted somberreactions to this report from the Bureau of Justice Statistics.  Here&#8217;s the gist of the hubbub, from HRW: A new government report showing huge increases in the incidences of domestic violence, rape, and sexual assault over a two-year period in the United States deserves immediate attention from lawmakers and the incoming administration, Human Rights Watch said today. The statistics show a 42-percent increase in reported domestic violence and a 25-percent increase in the reported incidence of rape and sexual assault. [...]</description>

		<description>Every husband a Taleban! Every household under sharia law!  

I think that&#039;s a summation of what the evangelicals want.  And there&#039;s plenty of fist-happy men with RWLDS who flock to their churches.</description>

		<description>Thanks to decrepit old farts like Pat Robertson, Rick Warren, Tony Perkins..etc., preaching that women should &quot;know in their place&quot;, compound that with economic hard times, a police state, corrupt politicians and it becomes acceptable for cowardly men (or others)  to beat and abuse women again...and then the abused women turn on their children....a cycle perhaps?</description>
