Women’s Violence Against Women

Posted on | June 26, 2016 | 12 Comments

We must stop violence against women:

A Georgia mom allegedly shot and killed her estranged daughter-in-law after her son accused his wife of having an affair with a high school sweetheart, court records showed.
Elizabeth Wall, 63, was charged with murder Thursday after she fatally shot 35-year-old Jenna Wall, a beloved Cobb County kindergarten teacher and mother of two, police said.
Investigators have not detailed a motive in the killing, but court recordsobtained by the Atlanta Journal Constitution showed Jenna Wall and her husband Jerrod Wall — Elizabeth Wall’s son — were in the midst of a messy break up and custody battle over their two sons, ages 7 and 8. Jerrod Wall filed for divorce in April, alleging his wife had cheated on him with her boyfriend from high school.

We must stop violence against women:

Christy Sheats, 42, shot and killed her two young daughters, Taylor, 22, and Madison Sheats, 17, on what neighbors said was their father’s birthday, according to local reports. A family spat started inside the married couple’s Houston-area home and spiraled into gun violence that spilled out onto their street.
“It was a family argument that turned into a shooting,” Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls told the Houston Chronicle. “But we’re still trying to put the pieces together.”
A witness said the sisters tried escaping with their father, but Taylor collapsed outside the home and Madison was shot in the back, KTRK-TV reported.

Somewhere, a Women’s Studies major is blaming this on the patriarchy.

    Feminism notwithstanding, there is no magic “sisterhood.” If a woman sees another as a rival there’s no limit.

    Both of these cases involved domestic disputes, and feminists would probably claim that the killers were in some sense actually victims of social injustice, oppressive institutions, etc.

    Of course. Women are tremendously powerful creatures, superior to men in every way, and yet helpless permanent victims to the Patriarchy.

    Square that circle.

    Oh and for the Bizarro view of the issue.

    With a money quote first about being that lesbians don’t have power in society and women in genealogy don’t have power, so ipso Facto they can’t be abusers. Except for that sliver of a sliver of folks who are abusers.

    Come now. That is nothing compared to “regret rape” after a drunken hookup.

    Things wouldn’t be that way without the heteronormative patriarchy oppressing them. You’re just trying to deflect attention.
