Hehe, don't worry. He was just having a "Wow, that is awful" moment. The first time I heard about how men in the more wartorn nations of africa will mutilate a woman by cutting off her breasts so she can't feed her babies, or how extreme islamist men will chop the head off a girl for going to school, or whip and imprison a rape victim for the crime of having been out in public without a male chaperone, I had such a moment. That moment where you try to imagine how any man could possibly bring himself to inflict such monstrous savagery on a woman. I come from the school of thought that men are hardwired to protect our women. So it's just so hard to conceive of how any man could bring himself to do those things to a woman. When I first heard of those things I had a moment similar to what River is feeling. I imagine most women have a similar response when they hear those occasional stories about a woman cutting some guy's penis off.<br/><br/>Don't get me wrong now. I'm not one of those people who thinks a guy is a total scumbag the moment he raises a hand to a woman. I think there's plenty of women who deserve a good sound knock upside the head. Same as there's plenty of men who deserve a good sound knock upside the head. No gender has a monopoly on assholes and scumbags. But the things women endure at the hands of men in Iran or Liberia is just...Wow. Holy crap. Wow. I thought rape was the worst thing you could do to a person, male or female, short of murder until I heard about some of these atrocities. Some of this crap actually makes rape and murder look mild by comparison.<br/><br/>And to think, Sandra "Somebody Better Fund My Sex Life Or Else" Fluke has the nerve to stand up on a stage and declare that a nation's refusal to give her free Birth Control constitutes a "War on Women". Maybe we oughta send her spoiled ass to Iran and Liberia so she can see what a war on women actually looks like.
