Do you have a link to Phil’s story? I’d like to read more.

BJ and her family have personalized this world wide epidemic of gender violence. We noted the lack of attention paid to important evidence of it all year.

The statistics are astounding and have been all along, it took Hillary and Palin bashing for us to focus more clearly on the elephant in the room.

A beheading here, a hammer attack there, a slur, a card-board grope, an honor killing, a c*unt t-shirt, acid in the face – it is all related and world-wide.

Someone here at NQ linked a Glamour article from Eve Ensler – Women Left for Dead and the man who is saving them, about the Congo. It is 9 pages long and it is an absolutely unforgetable horror story.

Prayers to BJ, her family and all the suffering ones everywhere. We will not be silenced. Women power.

I am so sorry for this family and I know this mother must be inconsolable. I share her anger and frustration with the lack of response from the media.

We stopped watching CNN and MSNBC months ago and I will never watch them again unless something changes and that’s not likely any time soon. The male members are bad enough, but what has been so disturbing are the “enablers”. It is truly heart breaking.

It is also unbelievable there are still those, like jbjd, visiting this site to continue the harassment with no sense of shame and no compassion for this family. But, the media and our PE have given their stamp of approval.

Even blatant sexism isn’t always recognized by younger women. How did that happen? I do believe the male members of the media and government are consciencely trying to keep women in their places and from any real authority, but many men voted for Hillary in spite of their campaign against her.

Now we know the names and faces of many of the enemies of our rights; Mathews, Cafferty, Olberman, Huffington, Dowd, Mitchel, Obama and many members of the DNC. This is not the times to let up on them and I thank you for your efforts to keep the light shinning.

Maybe now she can see. But I say it’s far too late.

I guess this guy thinks it is fine to wear the C-T-shirts.

Also, when did you hear this:

Did you hear about Phil in the news? Yup, they took him, kicking and screaming from the gym’s parking lot, and no one helped. They found his body today, he had been raped, disfigured and tortured.

As women in America we hear this every day in the news, and some times the females are just babies.
Misogyny/Sexism against women must STOP!

SEXISM and misogyny are LEARNED — and they can be unlearned — but it takes LEADERSHIP.-Northwest rain
…………..

I agree 100%, until they learn it is wrong, it will continue…

District Attorneys have the power right now to make a difference in keeping violent males locked up so they can not return to complete the “job”.

Years ago I lived in Mass. — about the time that John Kerry was working his way up the political ladder. He was the DA for Middlesex County — and at the time he aggressively went after men who harmed women. The bullies who could beat up on the women — were afraid of a DA who knew how to use the law to protect women. Crimes of “domestic” violence went down — the police were actively involved. This was the mid 1970s. I remember at the time that this proactive campaign by Kerry to stop the violence was RARE. And today this sort of action by a DA is rare.

Kerry also prosecuted rape cases — many DAs aren’t that aggressive and accept plea bargains. It takes a lot of leadership to bring about change — but it can be done.

I suspect that the DA in BJ’s daughter’s case was lazy and worked out a plea bargain with the creep of a husband.

Where are major women’s groups in this?

The children of these men suffer too. The age of trying to keep families together that have abuse at their heart has got to stop. The politically correct goal of intact abusive families is a travesty.
