Native American Women Are Invisible Victims In The War On Women.

It was only a movie, but the reality rang loudly. A white rancher tracked down men who had raped and murdered a woman. Before he killed them, one was incensed and demanded: "Why? She was just an Indian squaw!" To which the rancher screamed, "She Was My Wife!" One could imagine that even the line, "She was my wife!", was not reason enough for some conservatives white men to justify a white man killing a white man over the rape and murder of a woman who was "just an Indian Squaw". The evidence is clearly visible in the vile, obscene,... Read more →

It's Time To Start Shaming Rapists Instead Of Rape Victims.

"Why is there more shame in being raped than in being a rapist?" I've read this quote on a number of social media pages. But I've never read a male response that I can remember. At least I have never read a male response that made any sense. Of course, dumb jerks who think they are smart and funny always manage to make an asinine comment about rape. But we aren't talking about them. Men who think rape is funny, or worse believe rape is sometimes a justifiable act, possess no redeeming value and are beyond help. Society's only hope...

Neither Historical Entitlements Nor Male Defects Justify Rape.

Americans take pride in being a moral civilized nation. But the stupidity and callous ease with which American men, both privately and publicly try to justify or defend rape is anything but civilized. Conservative congressmen and conservative candidates for congress have made outrageous statements in the efforts to explain away and justify rape. In 2013, Americans were appalled and outraged at the death of a young woman from an horrific gang-rape in India. Many were also outraged by a comment made by a lawyer for one of the defendants when he said that "no 'respectable woman' would be raped." But... Read more →

Liberal And Conservative Women Must Unite To Fight The War On Women.

At some point women must demand that male legislators, apart from the women with whom they share voluntary intimacy, must leave the vagina and uterus alone. In a democracy, a woman's vagina and uterus should not be a perpetual battleground. Does what a woman do with vagina and her reproductive organs really a business of politics, especially right wing conservative men in politics? At a time when sexual violence and assaults against women is at an all time global high, so called intelligent men in a congressional democracy seem obsessed with continuing and escalating the conservative war on women. But... Read more →

Native American Women, Indian Children, And The Corrupt Soul of A Christian Nation.

If God is real and Jesus is the Son Of God, then neither The Christ nor His Father can be pleased with what this Christian nation has done to Native American Women and their children. We should not ignore for a moment that European Christians in their invasion, plunder, and conquer of Indian Land also invaded, plundered, raped, and conquered Indian women and Indian Children. But what this "Christian" nation did after the European invasion is equally appalling and represents the worse kind of human rights violations. America's anti-christian behavior towards Native Americans and the devastating results it has reeked... Read more →
