  1. There is a distinct correlation between violence against women & women who give very good blow jobs and spend time cooking and cleaning. The moral of the story is if women dedicate their lives to sexually & spiritually pleasing mankind then they will find themselves free from violence.

  2. I think that violence in general is a global pandemic , women, men and children, we are a violent species I think thats the problem we need to deal with.
    I understand that violence against women is a massive global problem but violence has been apart of our species as far back as recorded history nothing has changed in thousands of years. We need to address the reasons why we are violent.
    Thandie mentions the congo a nation at war and the serious issue of rape in the congo as being one of the worst countries to be a woman. The reason is because the country is at war , why is the country at war , poverty!
    one look at wikipedia shows congo is rich in natural resources but lacks the capacity to extract and refine these resources. Instead other countries exploit the Congo and the people suffer.

  3. Is there one, just one video or article out there with domestic violence against women as topic, where there is no comment complaining about "why women r more important than men and children" or "men also suffer from it" – Yes! Kids do (actually this topic has, in many countries a strong lobby) and men do so too. The fact is, women are more often the victims (with death rate included) of violence and rape by their partners, as long as the majority is not getting enough attention and support how the hell do all the ppl think the minority of victims (men in that case) will be seen and treated well? One does not work without the other and whoever experienced violence, men or women, have enough trouble – do not start to raise a problem between them!!!

  4. I'm all aboard with the proposed solutions Thandie is mentioning, but on a personal level I'm going a little disenchanted with the whole of activism in the sense that there are countless organizations in each of the countless causes for activism, to the extent that there now needs to be a certain degree of centralization to represent universal human rights. I understand that to do so is very risky in order for there to be equilibrium amongst representation of these causes, but more than that I now believe that justice can no longer be dealt with in variables at a time. We all have intimidating demons to face on our own, so the only incentive to help in the fight against another's is to address the common denominator of the human condition: that we are all suffering.
