And I see women all the time whose men have taken (maybe not sledge
hammers but whatevers handy) and beat them senseless, but sometimes the
mercy in killing is 20 years on.
I have also heard tales of men who bury cats in the lawn and run over their
heads with lawn mowers.
There IS a theme here. WE must take a stand against violence. This is an
ecofeminist issue. Feminism is an ecological issue. What causes this
violence is an ecofem issue.
Say no to violence on TV and movies. Say no to capital punishment. Do not
hit your children as you are showing them that with power, violence is ok.
Research into why men and not women commit these atrocities (mostly) would
be valuable.
