3. The U.S. is never going to prioritize

violence against women as long as they are trying to control our bodily functions. No country who doesn't acknowledge women's autonomy will fight against gender violence... for them, I am convinced, it's a right and privilege to beat up on women in any way possible.

As civil rights are stripped from us, the less human we become. That's one of the first aspects to violence against a group... "other" them. And what better way to "other" someone than claiming they have no human rights.

At least there is outrage in Italy... which is more than I can say for this country most of the time. Here, it's just another day ending in "y."
