Domestic Violence – Most Common Killer of Women Around World

As men try to keep their position on top of the gender hierarchy by dominating women, the United Nations has revealed that 87,000 women were murdered last year, and over half were killed by intimate partners or family members.

The most dangerous place for women is in their homes. Every hour, six women are killed by someone they know. 82 percent of intimate partner homicide victims are women.

Harriet Tubman $20 Bill – How Does the Trump Adminstration Keep Coming Up With the Ridiculous

Racist and slave owner Andrew Jackson is obviously the preferred American for the Trump Administration.

Harriet Tubman — former slave, abolitionist, “conductor” on the Underground Railroad — will not become the face of the $20 bill until after President Trump leaves office, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said yesterday.

Ms. Tubman will be shelved until at least 2026, and if out then, the bill will not be in circulation until 2028.

It is amazing how many ways the Trump administration can find to try to further its agenda of building hierarchies with their white, hierarchy-building, able-bodied, Christian, cis-gendered, heterosexual, U.S.-born men (WHACCHUM) on top.

Alabama Denies Children's Cartoon "Arthur" as the State Supports Many Hierarchies

Alabama Public Television has decided it won't show an episode of the children's show "Arthur" because is features a same-sex marriage.

Premiering on May 13 in the 22nd season of the show, "Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone" will not be shown because programming director Mike McKenzie say that parents might find it inappropriate, because their children are too young, or because of other beliefs.

Are children too young to see another option of marriage between adults, that of heterosexual marriage? What about the beliefs of families and children who support or are a part of a same-sex marriage?

But when you put yourself on top of a hierarchy, this one the sexual orientation hierarchy, no one matters to you but heterosexual people like you.

There is a link to the show available for viewing.

Right-wing Muslim Hater Voted Out of Australian Parliament

In Australia, some people who insist on staying on top of our hierarchies are being held accountable.

Following the New Zealand mosque shootings, a right-wing Australian senator who said Muslims were the "real cause of bloodshed" has failed to keep his seat in the country's latest elections.

Queensland's Fraser Anning has been voted out of his Senate seat in the Parliament of Australia. Shootings at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand left 51 dead.

Men Exploit Women All Over the World in Sex Trade

Why is it men who exploit women in the sale and force of sex? Why do women not do the same to men? When are men going to stop insisting that their top-of-the-hierarchy privilege that they have assumed to be theirs for so long allows them to think that women are born to be at their service?

North Korean women and girls are being trafficked and sold into the sex trade in China, similar to other parts of the world. They are forced to endure systemic rape, sexual slavery and cybersex trafficking.

"The profoundly patriarchal society means many women are ashamed of the abuse they experience and feel unable to demand accountability - deciding not to speak out because of feeble law enforcement and support services."

In other words, men are allowed to do anything they want to women.

High Leveled Female Athletes: Kiss of Death from Sports Structure for Being Pregnant

In an opinion piece by world-class athlete Alysia Montano, we learn that female athletes who are pregnant often lose their endorsements and health insurance, while of course male athletes can have children and not skip a step in earnings or health insurance.

In yet another example of how women are penalized for having children, Nike is mentioned among others who claim to support female athletes, and have been known for touting mothers, they do not support women who are in the process of having children. The United States Olympic Committee and USA Track and Field can spot their health insurance support if women become pregnant.

25 White Men Decide on Alabama Abortion Law - Typical of the Top

People on top of hierarchies insist that they have the right to make rules for everyone else.

Such is the case with Alabama, where 25 white men have passed the most restrictive abortion laws in the country, even giving rapists more rights than the women they impregnate.

Typical top of the hierarchy, they think they have the right to rule over the lives of everyone else.

When women obtain the majorities in legislatures, wouldn't it be fun to pass laws about men's bodies, and they won't have a say at all.
