Woman Banned

Principle # 2 . That the present efforts to stop this violence are NOT working . The problem is getting worse .

My comment ; We need to get back to what I call Pure Feminism , just womyn , no men . Over the past 10 yrs. men have slowly taken over the womyn's movement . This has been greatly encouraged and accepted by the so-called Third Wave Feminists . The let's not hurt or exclude anyone ( especially men ) from our movement . BIG MISTAKE ! Did men really take over the womyn's movement to help womyn ? Not on your life ! They want the same old thing they've always wanted ,
POWER and CONTROL , and right now they have it . Sound familiar ? It should . It's the reason men continue to ABUSE , RAPE and KILL womyn . Twenty years ago when I started touring with my work , a womyn was battered every 15 seconds and raped every 3 minutes . Today a womyn is battered every 9 seconds and raped every minute . Does that sound like improvement to you ? A quote from Marilyn French's book " The War Against Women " sums it up for me ;

" If one ethnic or national group were attacking another , killing and maiming them at the same rate as men attack and kill women ( and she's speaking only of attacks by intimates ) , the situation would be held to constitute a state of emergency , or even war . "
