Free Parking Oct 3 2018 -- Who are the Rapists?
http://eureka.news/free-parking-51/I am a woman. I hold up half the sky for the world is seen through my eyes. Toltec fragment.
We hear about women being raped unreported ones occur every minute; reported rapes, because of injuries, occur every 6.5 minutes. Victims rarely tell, saving themselves more anguish, because women are called liars who want ruin the rapists career/life.
Rapists are the least likely criminals to ever be charged, prosecuted, much less imprisoned (15 of 16 rapists walk around freely) so most rapes, especially non-stranger rapes, go unreported. While a woman is assaulted every minute in this country (in some countries the rate is even higher) the proportion of rapists to total men is between 6-12 percent, with as many as 25 percent college males assaulting young women. Disturbingly, approximately 64 percent of all rapists become predators.

We, as a nation, must face the virulent hatred and daily disdain for women that remains unaddressed throughout our society. In order to change society, we must change our policies toward rape. Vote.
Thank you, WhiteTara.

That was such a difficult article and next week, I'm exploring men who murder women for saying no.
