Latin America - protests against misogyny and sexual violence
October 21, 2016 at 2:23 pm
This seems pretty big and isn't getting the attention and solidarity it deserves in the news

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/o...t-violence

Following the rape and murder of a 16 year old in Argentina, Lucia Perez, thousands of women took to the streets to protest against misogyny and sexual violence. The demonstrations started in many cities across the country, and are said to be spreading throughout Latin America.

I read about that.  Something like one woman killed by domestic violence every 30some-odd hours of late?  That's gotta be the shittiest daily lottery on earth.

If our wives and gf's were knocking us off like that we'd have rounded em all up into pleasure camps by now. We've done it before, we'll do it again! Mind your p's and q's ladies.

Yeah I saw some of the details too, it was really savage. Shame it takes something that horrible to get everyone's attention
