Will women ever be given amnesty?<br /><br />Why are there no human rights standards for torture and murder of women as a sex?<br /><br />All these crimes are done to women as women by men as men. Serial rapists and serial murders are almost always men targeting women exclusively.<br /><br />Why are these crimes not seen as sexual inequality violations? Wherever law requires equality as applied to women, it means if men don't need it, women don't get it. You can see this in the recent closing of shelters because it didn't service men.<br /><br />It mobilizes the idea that the way to get things for women is to get them for men. Men don't need effective laws against rape, battering, murder, so not having such laws isn't an inequality it's just a difference.<br /><br />Abuses to women are subjected to equality law at all. The lack of law violates our human rights.<br /><br />We need a womens' model of human rights - predicated on womens' distinctive experiences of violation and the denial of those violations - this would make human rights an honest term.<br /><br />Women need effective legal guarantees of personal-security and sexual integrity to have equality.<br /><br />If you doubt what I am saying then tell me why women make up 1/2 the population, 3/4 of the work force, but make only 1/10th of our male counterparts, only own 1/100th of property and are more likely to be owned? Why do we not have an equal voice in public deliberations and in the government? Why when these things happen virtually nothing is done about it?Cherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135370837287897302noreply@blogger.com
