Reply #8: Oh, they never do it "on purpose" [View All]

He didn't do it "on purpose", but he went as far as making sure she was dead before settling down for a celebratory beer.


That sounds very much like he did it on purpose.


IMO, we need to get rid of this paternalistic crap in religion and socialization. Young women need to be taught self-defense as a part of routine education, right along with "the facts of life". Teach them that if a man ever hits them, tries to rape them or whatever that they have the right to defend themselves--be he a stranger, a friend, a date or a relative.

If men stop seeing women as easy targets but rather as people who will readily fight back with whatever they have at their disposal maybe this sort of crap will stop.
