Violence, assault, battery, and homicide is always more of a problem for women than for men.
Statistics show that men are more likely to BE VIOLENT, and more apt to be aggressive toward women. Because men are the world’s power brokers, and sometimes they try to use that power to dominate the women that they imagine they should be able to control.
The term War On Women is accurate, if you review the facts, and also the sensational details. The Scott Peterson’s murder of his 9-month pregnant wife carrying his unborn son, Connor, and just yesterday, Drew Peterson sentenced for murder of his 3rd wife, while wife number 4, Stacy, has been missing since 2007.
Remember Josh and Susan Powell? Josh, who killed both his young sons and himself, even though he was never convicted of Susan’s disappearance.

No matter how rich Oscar Pistorius is, how great he is for overcoming such a profound handicap, how many medals he won, he, like OJ Simpson, will now be judged for losing his temper and murdering a beautiful young model – who loved him!
And obviously, the Magistrate didn’t agree, because if he did – he would never have granted him bail.
