Homicide rate against female victims up by 21%.
Not surprising in a nation with a Misogynist in Chief, a nation that refuses to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act.
@Myrth This is *precisely* what I meant the other day when I was saying that the #MeToo movement would not be bloodless, that Trump's misogyny would have a massive effect, and that I was tired of hearing the old adage that "men are more afraid of women than we are of them." They couldn't possibly be.
No, they aren’t afraid of working late and being in a building alone, remembering the friend who did so and was brutally raped and left for dead.
They aren’t afraid of walking to their car alone after dark.
They aren’t afraid to answer the door when they are home alone.
They aren’t afraid to go on that blind date.
They aren’t afraid to be alone with a co-worker who management won’t fire for inappropriate behavior.
They have NO CLUE.
@Myrth @AvaSpeaksUp You may have seen this already but I thought this young lady did a great job summing up in a song what men don't get. (disregard if you've seen it already).
@Myrth @AvaSpeaksUp I figured you saw it already but wanted to re-post just in case. It's a catchy melody with a poignant message. That's what music and art 'should' be!!!
