TWO SIDES OF GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE

Sir,

According to the Bible, the second coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will be preceded by a rise in lawlessness, violence, hate and chaos. It is an undeniable fact that the love of many has grown cold, as we are subjected to daily reports of violence against women and children and of many ‘leaders’ subjecting their people to inhumane treatment while pilfering resources of their own countries for their selfish benefit, and see absolutely no problem with it.

Reports

Hardly a day goes by without reports of women being assaulted, raped or even murdered by their husbands, boyfriends or complete strangers. It is as if those men think the definition of manhood means being uncivilised brutes. It was, therefore, hardly surprising that feminists were quick to label men as trash. I actually have to agree that a man who beats, rapes or murders a woman is a worthless piece of trash who does not deserve to live among the rest of humanity. There is just no excuse for such evil. But we should not forget that there are two sides to a coin, and reports of women assaulting, molesting or murdering helpless children are also on the rise.

Ignore

Women are, after all, also human, and it would, therefore, be unfair to ignore the heinous crimes committed by women against children (and sometimes men) and only focus on crimes committed by men against women as if only men are capable of violence. What is worth noting is that it is only a minority of men who behave in such an uncivilised manner, and yet feminists have only labelled men as trash while conveniently ignoring the fact that women are just as capable of violence against those who are weaker than them.  In fact, every year, millions of innocent babies are aborted by their mothers.

Abortions

While there may be extreme cases where abortions may be justified, such as rape, most abortions are due to irresponsible behaviour (on the part of both women and men), and are, therefore, completely avoidable. And yet feminists justify the murder of unborn children as a woman’s right. But since when is murder a right? Perhaps the answer can be found in the words of feminist Author Naomi Goldenberg, who states, in her book titled ‘Changing of the gods’, that the feminist movement is engaged in the slow execution of (the masculine) Christ and Yahweh.
