They/SheHey guys I want to bring your attention to something I found out a couple of days ago. It's this thing going on and I guess the book it came from sums it all up:
Femicide : The Politics of Killing Women
I don't want to bring the mood down to much or risk any sort of mental distraught so if you are not on the headspace to read about violence against women it's cool, but I will be censoring more aggressive or detail stuff. This is only a small part of what it is about/in the book. There are full length reviews on it too if you can't get the book(check y'all sources though)
"There's no place like home.' This familiar phrase invokes the image of an ideal: home as safe haven and shelter from the world. For women who have been victims of femicide - misogynist killing by men - these simple words take on a disturbing new meaning. There is indeed no place like home for a woman who has died at the hands of a man, because it is there that she was least safe from harm. The threat of violent death for a woman is in fact greatest in her own home. And her killer is likely no stranger, no masked psychopath, but someone who knew her intimately, a companion or former companion, a husband or lover. In Femicide: The Politics of Woman Killing editors Jill Radford and Diana E.H. Russell have compiled more than 40 articles and essays that document and describe such terrible truths about the phenomenon of femicide. The hearings for Clarence Thomas's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court and the trials of William Kennedy Smith and Mike Tyson put the issues of sxual harassment and date r*e on the mainstream map. But femicide, the most violent form of sexist behavior, has yet to be widely acknowledged and recognized as a brutal expression of hatred for women. .... But these motivations for such violence are rarely acknowledged. "Mar 8, 2021

•I hear people say 'We as humans are evolving' and at this point I'm just- it sounds more like DEvolving at this point. Women(ALL women) shouldn't have to go through this chaotic bullshit. We deserve better 
I'm glad you're open about this, it really sheds light on the subject(this and MANY others)
