“Men: Stand in solidarity with women. Women, if you were born female, you were born on a battlefield. You will be punished for even saying that out loud, but the grim truth is you're going to be punished no matter what for the 'sin' of being female. Battering is the most commonly committed violent crime in the United States. That's a man beating a woman. Globally, half of all women will experience life-threatening violence from a man. Half. That's more hatred than I can comprehend. Right now, that battlefield is such a slaughter that we can't even collect our wounded.” IfsMenI CanMatterStatesBornSinUnitedHalfUnited StatesViolenceCrimeRight NowTruth IsFemaleHatredNo Matter WhatCommittedViolentLoudWoundedSolidarityThreateningMen WomenBattlefieldsSlaughterGrimViolent CrimesBattering Author:Lierre Keith
