137. Ponder this from my Woman's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets.
"Some scholars find it baffling that man seems unable to found an ethic or a philosophy on perceptions of reality, but instead must cling to crude myths--even to the point of filling his own life and the lives of others with unnecessary horrors. Among the worst of these is the real violence with which man attacks the questioners or doubters of his myths; as if to kill his own reasonable doubts before they rise up to the surface of his mind and become fully conscious."

and this, as it relates to the mindset of the class of criminal this perp is a member of--

"Violence is extremely common in the family; wife battering and incest provide two instances of this principle. If spousal abuse were included in the FBI's figures on assault, its incidence would increase by over 20 times.
Patriarchy lies at the core of wife beating."
Erich Goode, Ph.D, in DEVIANT BEHAVIOR
Prentice Hall, Inc. ISBN 0-13-531294-9

Imagine what this woman's life would have been like had she accepted the perp's proposal of marriage.
