[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]oops. I'm the person who posted the comment wondering why we're not rioting about this. I didn't in any way mean to take away from the righteousness of the Ferguson outrage.

It just baffles me that violence against women just goes on and on and on, and is legitimized in so many ways by the entertainment and advertising industries etc etc. And we just roll over and let it happen.

Is it because there is no united front of women (ie, we are too diverse?)

If the you took the vile emails against women from that fraternity and substituted a minority for the references to women, there would be more outrage.

I'm NOT trying to say that outrage would be misplaced. I'm asking for more outrage, not less.

I don't want to make it an either/or thing. (that you can support racial equality or gender equality.) I just don't  understand why there isn't a great hue and cry over these things. Why it is just buried. Why there is so much anti-woman violence and sexism in general even in movies and games for children, [b]and we do nothing. [/b][/quote]

Then we should do something, and I do mean we. You and me, specifically, not a vague "we" mostly consisting of other people who oughta do something. What will you do? What will I do? This is a sincere question.[/quote]
