Why is violence against women different from good old fashioned violence?

'black girl dangerous' is custom rank material for you, harmy

Because generally, the only people using the term 'good old fashioned violence' are men.

Oh. I feel like women have just forgotten how to take a punch. We've been subjugated for so long that we forgot we are capable of warfare in our own right. That's not to say that all women can take a punch or should take a punch. Some women just by the nature of things have to be prepared to take a punch.

It's life. What ya gonna do.

That reminds me, I would like to be defeated in mortal kombat by Gina Carano. That's how I would like to die.

Rape? Forced abortions? Genital mutilation? Drunken, drugged wife-beating?

Nope? Still nothing, huh? Just 'how it is'? That's interesting. What do I know, I'm not a woman.

There are groups that are working and have been working in these areas of violence against women. These groups don't just sit around on it.

I don't blame you. She's fierce, as it were.

Sorry PX, I don't follow the point you're making. Women have forgotten how to take a punch, but there are groups fighting against violence against women, except it's just "good old fashioned violence"? Can you explain it to me like I'm five?

1. Since the beginning of time women have been struggling for "equality." At some moments taking our lumps, and at other time finding success.

2. Not all women can be measured the same. Or should be. Not all women be required to be the same as the next.

3. Some women are very capable of violence, as a means to a certain outcome.

I've been thinking about that chart on the other page, Jorge. Maybe more fleshing out the thoughts I've been having since seeing it.

One other thing, if you could please start using my current handle, that would be great.
