Thought I share some of the heaviness I have been encountering as I become intimate with the construction and manifestation of violence against women (not only physical, but mentally, political, and so forth).
I have every intention to unmask the penetration of public violence into the private sphere, and the cultivation of antagonistic and hostile attitudes towards women in order to eradicate and disrupt the essence of la cultura, la familia, y la tierra. this is genocide. and this is why femicide is to be examine. though particular to a context of strategic antiwoman bias, it starts small, the violence, the abuse, and slowly it creeps into our consciousness when as a society we have to point the finger and say we do not stand idly by chris and bobby browns. yet we cultivate this reality every day, every day we invite it, every day we encourage it, privileged to do so, with our silence..
English: A Language of Rape
There are 220 words for a sexually promiscuous woman and only 20 for an equally promiscuous man in the English language. (from the book, Transforming a Rape Culture, 2005)
