Violence against women

Response to a facebook post on rape allegations against political candidate

Aside: Men in the USA are socialized to violence and to regard that they themselves and their lives are worthless and valueless. The very first experience all American men have as an infant is to have their genitals mutilated. It is no wonder that violence is so common in the USA when there is so little respect for any sort of life at all. If you have been brutalized your whole life and you are worth nothing, then it is an easy "next step" to enjoy perpetrating violence yourself. It is no accident that the USA has TEN TIMES the rate of incarceration, and TEN TIMES the murder rate, as any other country on Earth.  This violence in the USA is "by design."   It is inherent to the economic structure of the USA. Sorry. One day we may form a more loving and empathetic political union in America. Until that day, we must all suffer.
