"We talk about how many women were raped last year, not about how many men raped women. We talk about how many girls in a school district were harassed last year, not about how many boys harassed girls. We talk about how many teenage girls in the state of Vermont got pregnant last year, rather than how many men and boys impregnated teenage girls. So you can see how the use of the passive voice has a political effect. It shifts the focus off of men and boys and onto girls and women. Even the term ‘violence against women’ is problematic. It’s a passive construction; there’s no active agent in the sentence. It’s a bad thing that happens to women, but when you look at that term ‘violence against women,’ nobody is doing it to them. It just happens to them…Men aren’t even a part of it!” — Jackson Katz
The news of Hathras Gang-rape case has once again brought in light how brutal and demonic one's conscience could be. But this time instead of talking about how we, as a society fail to protect our women, let's talk about how we fail to empower our men. For, only when our men are empowered, we would be able to stop crimes happening against our women.
Collab with Democrats & Dissenters and tell us what happens to a society that fails to empower its men.
