In the latest school shooting that happened at an Amish school in Pennsylvania, the killers delibaretely separated girls from boys and then concentrated on killing the girls. As correctly presented in the Washington Post, had the sepapration been done between ethnic groups instead of sexes, there would have been a terrible uproar over it. And what happened now? The fact barely registered anywhere in the media.
Has Western media, like the society at large, become misogynist, completely accepting of the continuous maltreatment and violence against women? Have pornography with its violent degrading images, and overtly sexual advertizing lulled the senses to the extent that separation between the sexes for targeted killing doesn't register at all? If that is so, this must be stopped!
Nothing in the world happens unrelated to other events. Sexual advertizing leads men and women to view women's bodies as something to be purchased. Pornography leads men to view all women as mere objects. Soon enough poor women are being trafficked to slavery in the Western world. Slowly but surely the society is changing for the worse and women have exchanged their dearly gained power to being objects, their feminism to getting killed for being women.
Do we not deserve more?
