How many more women and children have to be raped, murdered,

[TAPat]

maimed and scarred for life in the name of God/Homeland/Security and plain insecurity… before women, and especially, the pitifully small handful of good, real men stand up and say “Enough!”

If everyone stopped to seriously and fairly consider from where the pain and suffering rained down upon this planet originates, the only answer is: men.

Name the women, throughout history, who have waged war. Name the women who murdered serially. Name the women who have invaded homes and abducted, raped and murdered children.

Now – Name the men, throughout history, who have waged war, who have murdered serially, who have invaded homes and abducted, raped and murdered children.

I turn 40 next month, and in my years have seen the same pathological need for power/profits cast a pall over my (and now, my daughter’s) life – the same pall that wafted over my mother, my grandmother and all the women in recorded history before her. The craven desire for domination is strictly male – when it does rear its ugly head in women it is born of men – fathers, husbands, lovers, brothers.

1. although I find it hard to argue

I have to throw this quote out there

"There is no such thing as a Palestinian people... It is not as if we came and threw them out and took their country. They didn't exist."

2. Women waging war - Queen Elizabeth 1 & 2, Queen Mary,

Catherine the Great of Russia, several other leaders in ancient Britian. "Let them eat cake" queen of France. Although her statement started the civil war. Several others, but not too many, that's for sure. And there are lots of stories of women killing their own children.

The answer to you question of how many women? There have been more than enough.
