You have the right to cross the street at a crosswalk. But if someone chooses not to stop and run over you and kill you, what value are these rights? And if men continue to abuse you and you are dead, what do these rights do for you?

Yes, I have written on these pages several times, that young boys, starting at elementary school, should be taught that girls and women should not be used as a punching bag to hit and kill when they say NO, or when they are just mad at the world. The responses would usually be - what about women abusers? There are, of course, but the majority of partners who get abused and killed are women.
