The leading cause of death for pregnant women is homicide - by far, the women's partner. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/homicide-leading-cause-of-death-for-pregnant-women-in-u-s/

My question is, why? When a women is MOST vulnerable and needs the MOST protection, her own partner is her highest risk.

But, now women are being erased in language and in law in order to abolish the last remaining legal protections available to us. And people wonder why we need feminism. As if feminism was created on a whim for the purpose of oppressing men.

Most women live in a constant state of fear and appeasement in order to cope with male rage. Not exactly the best frame of minds to be in when raising children. I know. I lived with a father who repeatedly raped and beat my mother. She did her best but at times we hated how she treated us, even as adults.

Patriarchy must be dismantled if we are to retain any shred of our humanity as a species. It starts by destroying the alpha males at the top who are exploiting the rest of us and concentrating all the wealth in their control. It's never enough.
