It's not too much to ask for, is it?


That women feel safe to go about their daily lives without any fear.
That they respect women's life choices.
That they are more civil to women.

'they': The ones who have this shocking bias towards women. Not just the violent. It's easy to blame it on their background. Come to think of it, most of them are not driven by rational thoughts and when away from their group, they are cowardly and very meek individuals. But what is startling is that even among the well-educated - the lawmakers, law enforcers and elected leaders, this strong prejudice comes to the fore in the statements they make and the actions they take.

There has been a massive outpouring of emotion over dreadful incidents this past few months. It's clear many people want a better way. But, when would it come? When would it stop?
