Get a grip Raunchy, and ask yourself why your perspective is so perverse, and
dark.
Ironically, your constant laments about the plight of victimized women at the
hands of evil
men does much more harm to the reputation of women than it wrests justice.
Women
have struggled mightily over the past five decades for a fair shake, and your
obsessive,
festering victimhood laments amplify an infantile perspective void of courage
and
character. The feminist movement goal was the empowerment of women, not the
establishment of a permanent victim class.
