As a woman, I constantly wonder WHY and HOW does this end? It’s generations of passed down patriarchy and social conditioning that needs to be broken. These sick brains need to fear the consequences of such a heinous crime. We need to get to the root of this sick mentality. This is happening across our country, be it rural or urban. It can happen to any of us or children.
