On-topic, please. We've barely touched the original topic.

Let's go back to the original discussion, for the origine ofthe universe most important topic.... CHEESE !

Can we say that the original topic of the “de-humanization” and violence against women exists because of our inability to focus on the subject and we continue to deviate from the Topic? Maybe our attention span is so short these days that we actually lose track of where we are going!
We live in such a fast paced society that just maybe we need to pay more attention to the topics rather then move on to other subjects like religion. Violence against women is a serious subject and maybe if we just focused our attention on it we could actually do something about it.

Traditional male domination over women has to do with fundamental genetic imperatives deriving from the makeup of male and female humans and the roles that almost always came about as a result of it... Noone said all of these genetic imperatives were necessarily good things. Some must be striven to overcome.

The most pathetic scene in an action movie for me is the one where the villian taunts the hero with the heroes' violent impulses.

'Oh, he's just like you? Which one of you kills for fun, again?'

Some people think that because they have an urge, they must satisfy that urge. This leads to shoplifting, addiction, murder, violence and oppression.

We have self-control for a reason.
