Some men, in some cultures, just regard women as inferiors and we can do nothing about that.
We need to pay more attention to the insidious culture creep here where young women / children are being abused, places like Rotherham, which is the tip of the iceberg.
I haven't seen any celebrities making records or putting on shows for those victims, who are within our reach helpwise. No one on telly wearing a black dress for them
Women are under threat here more than ever, honour killings and stalkers, acid thrown in women's faces ( men too are sometimes victims I know) but predominately it is women suffering. It is all about men who want control and will achieve that by violence.
While women in other countries are taking off the veil and striving for their independence and safety, we are encouraging all that here. It is just shoring up the male mentality that believes in control of women and results in the atrocities elsewhere.
Brendan Cox is just typical of the male ego, and despicable as are all the others implicated in the latest scandals where vulnerable women and children have been abused.
The western sexual predator is not that much higher up the food chain really, willing to allow their baser instincts to over ride what they know is decent, in return for power.
The Romans were appalling to Bodicea and her daughters, there is something in men that once unleashed goes beyong all understanding.
The Nazis were the same, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, it is a lesson in history that we have yet to learn the solution to.
