In the USA we have "Truth, Justice & The American Way." But let me tell you what "The American Way" is – it's the fundamental law that penis equals right.Yes, in the good ol' USA, "the land of the free, and home of the brave," the country that currently runs around trying to liberate the huddled masses elsewhere, women are still property. Troublesome property at that.It's the old patriarchal

"From the Latin rapere which means "to seize or take by force," the origin of "rape" was war. It was used to describe acts such as looting, destruction and capture of citizens. Even today the act of rape is an acceptable wartime practice and the connotation remains. When men rape women, it indicates war, even in civilized society. Since one in four women will be raped in our country, I believe we

"Just as man invents and constructs technological artifacts which are to serve him and fulfill his desires, so woman as she has been socially invented and constructed, is expected to reflect man's need to be the natural vessel of man's reproductive capacity, a mere bodily extension of the male's procreative powers." From After the Great Divide: Modernism, Mass Culture, Postmodernism (Theories of

"Her hearing has not failed yet you repeatedly find it necessary to shout. How are you able to shout so loud wuth a mouth full of pride? Your pride needs to be swallowed or spit out. You demand that she spend more time in the house that you own, with a frequent emphasis on your ownership, yet you're rarely there, confining her to a humbling solitude. A solitude that once hurt until she learned to

Yes, I watch the Dr. Phil Show from time to time, it comes on directly after one of my soaps, so sometimes, if laundry folding runs a bit long, or the TV drug has taken effect, I keep it on. That's not the only reason though: He's good. So good, I wish I could have gotten my husband on that show. I would have loved to hear Dr. Phil (or anyone) say classic lines such as "And how's that working

Newswise — Pediatric researchers today called on the Department of Defense to investigate the rates of child abuse homicides at military installations across the nation. The appeal from the North Carolina Child Advocacy Institute was prompted by results of its study showing children in jurisdictions with military bases were twice as likely to be killed by a parent or caregiver than other children

I read at Lili G's journal (one of my favorite places on the internet, by the way), that her family's pets are being murdered. Shocking enough, all on its own. But when I went in to make a post about my sorrow for their loss, one of her comments made my already cold blood freeze: "They have a 18 month old Brindle Great Dane/Elephant, but they keep a very close eye on her." I had a Great Dane,

Like a small pebble dropped into a pond, the ripples spread outward, in rings, forever. Long after the ripples are no longer visible to the person on shore, the beings that live there feel them. No one worries about the microscopic organisms that swirl, maimed & hurt. No person on the shore even thinks about them. But the consequences from those rings live on & on. It doesn't matter if it's the

Louise – Died of a beating given her by the father of her child. The child died with her. He lives today. Say her name – she was 15 years old. Eva – Stabbed through the heart by an angry client. Her last words were, “It hurts. Why?” Say her name – she was 14 years old. Chevy – Passed out during the filming of a snuff flick. She never woke up. They all walked away. Say her name – she was 16 years
