You have to wonder how some Americans can so openly display
their hate for women and children, while claiming that they are following their Christian
beliefs. When did their church teach them to hate thy neighbor?
You see it in
the rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court and the treatment of refugees coming from
South America. You see it in their hatred of our President for the color of his
skin. You see it in the laws that are coming out of a broken legislative system
where the rich are more important than starving children in our own country. You
see it when states pass laws to take rights of self-determination away from
women rather than promoting resources that would help to prevent the circumstances
that cause the actions in the first place. You see it in the growth of the sex
slavery trade in this country while people just turn a blind eye. You see it in
the way victims of rape and incest are blamed for the crime.
The question is when will the men in our country stop hating
the women and children in this country? I am not saying that all men are guilty
of this hate. The question is when will good men stand up for the rights that
they so freely take for granted? When
will people stop demanding that we spend less on the education of our children,
while handing more tax breaks to the top one percent of the richest Americans? When
will American men start demanding that women be paid at the same rate as men? These
issues should outrage good men and drive them into action as it has the women
of this country.
It all comes down to one word “Respect.”
