14. I am finally coming to understand
that the whole social order stands on a foundation of violence against women, threatened or realized. Pardo is only most the extreme example of this. There are a million tiny everyday acts of violence, initimidation and abuse that keep the system functioning.

It is not for nothing that femicide is not a commonly referred-to category of murder. As I said above, too many people have too much invested in the ultimate enforcement of order to risk recognizing it.
