Now it’s like you’re trying to say if it wasn’t for the moral compass of feminism, you’d be a killer too? Really?

Yes there is a need to compare. A man can get over being humiliated. A woman can’t get over being murdered.

It’s men’s job not to fucking murder.

I live in a community where an eleven year old girl was gang raped by more than twenty boys and men fourish years ago. So many people went straight to she acted older, she wanted it and where were her parents. It was (and still is) infuriating.

In the context of a comparison with *death* as a legitimate, common fear of many women, yes, there is a need to compare them. Do you honestly think they are both equally valid things to fear, and on the same level? I can’t think of a single case where I’d choose death over humiliation, hyperbole aside...

It’s astounding how many men show up in the comments of stories about women being brutalized, raped and murdered by men to whine about how the real problem is that men are being disrespected.

Seriously. Has there ever been an actual news story where a woman asked a guy out in a bar, he said no, and she either followed him to his car and killed him or stabbed him with a broken beer bottle on the spot?

“There’s no greater threat to women than men.” ~ Louis C. K.

This! Always this. Men beat the women in their lives over things like “I wanted something else for dinner” but somehow women are the emotional, irrational ones.

You know, I don’t usually wade into this shit, but here I am.

Yes, the incidents of women getting murdered because they refused to date or broke up with a guy are (thankfully) relatively rare, but they’re still far too common. They’re also on the extreme end of a spectrum of male violence/aggression toward women. Nearly every woman I know (including me) could you tell stories…

“This is a one in a many millions crime, like terrorism.”

I just... I can’t get over how true that statement is.
Has nothing truer ever been spoken in this world? It feels like this is the only one that’s held on to it’s truth throughout history.

The idea of the political, moral and social equality of the sexes is one of the most powerful ideas I’ve ever encountered, and has been a guiding principle in my own life ever since. If you find it less so, we must agree to differ.

You seem fixated on this officer and this particular act- sure, it is spectacularly heinous but that does not make all of the other women who are killed in more mundane ways by rejected men any less dead.

911 helps you deal with the guy in front of you with a weapon.

But 911 doesn’t help you deal with where you’re going to live tomorrow when you leave or how you’ll be able to not get charged with kidnapping while protecting any minor children, or finding the strength to leave when you’re so broken down from the…

Men are also more likely to leave terminally ill wives, and women stay and help the men through.

“Weak, insecure men will be the death of us all.”

I hope someone with a huge dick rams it right into his guts repeatedly, beats him to near death and then sets him on fire.

The original Italian article mentions that she left him because he hit her (well, they call it “a violent incident that disturbed her, though she chose not to denounce him, possibly because she was concerned that it would cost him his job”).
