“How long must we wait so that men stop raping us? What will it take so that men stop murdering us?”

Some women have said to me, "Oh my god, I am a mother of sons. How can you be talking about this?" And I say, "You are more upset & disturbed at the imaginary scenario of violence vs your sons than the actual violence that is committed every day vs your daughters.”
And to those who say to me “Violence begets violence.”
You fucking bet it does!
What does centuries of patriarchal violence against women beget?
Women around the world are trapped in lockdown with Intimate partner TERRORISTS!

And when a women escaped her intimate partner TERRORIST after he tied her up and assaulted her, he went on a shooting rampage that killed 22 people. During a global pandemic. Patriarchy kills. Misogyny kills. Toxic masculinity is deadly.
