Also in the US today: a man went inside a Catholic supply store and ordered women inside to strip at gunpoint, and sexually assaulted several of them before shooting one of them in the head. She has since died. stltoday.com/news/local/cri… h/t @_Autumn_Green_
St. Louis County police Sgt. Shawn McGuire emphasized the brazenness of the shooting. “I think everyone needs to be aware this happened at 3:30 in the afternoon on one of the busiest roads in St. Louis County.”
AND YET: “A police spokesman said at a news conference about 5 p.m. that investigators had “no idea” of a motive...”

Ha! I’ll tell you what the motive is. MISOGYNY! What fucking planet do these “investigatiors” live on??!
Seriously: a man goes into a store, orders women inside to undress at gunpoint, he sexually assaults them and shoots one of them in the head and then off he goes, on the run. Were investigators hoping for a 1,000-word essay explaining why?!
We know why: patriarchy enables and protects violence against women. Every day, men get away with sexually assaulting women, killing women, abusing women. It’s called misogyny:
noun -
dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women.
Those men get elected President of the most powerful country on earth; are confirmed as Supreme Court justices, are judges, legislators, cops, etc
