IT, to be frank, I don't like to see anyone demeaned, men or women. From Abu Gharaib to pornography to UFC, American attitudes and tastes seem to be getting more violent. The public has accepted permanent warfare as a natural state of things. I don't have to make stuff up to prove my point, the examples are legion:

Recent stats about 1 in 5 women getting raped by their intimate partner seem to confirm this, the fraternity story at Univ. of Vermont:

It's an ugly country now and about to become much uglier. What is the solution? I don't know. Treat your partner well and teach your children to respect and treat ALL human life with dignity. Speak out whenever someone is disrespected-male, female, black, white, gay, straight, trans. We may not be able to stem the tide but we can damn well not contribute to it.
