Burma (Myanmar) and the Crimes Against Women

Extremely disturbing, use discretion; contains graphic descriptions and triggers

In Myanmar, the military takeover is racking up a continuing body count. Everyone whom the “goverment” suspects of being a dissenter is likely to be imprisoned and have serious crimes against humanity dealt them by some sadistic goddamn soldiers. With women, this is particularly, grossly disturbing.

I don’t know what to write. Or think. I’ve only just seen the story myself, and the worst part is, these women are not alone, and this is nothing new.

It has been, and will be, this way in too many countries.

They’re defiant. They’re courageous. Honorable and focused, these magnificent women. There are many who would rather die for a cause than to yield without a fight.

In my life, I’ve actually known women who died at the hands of sick and evil men. This is the way of things.

It shouldn’t be.

I’m warning you, unless the men of this world stop this, unless good men stand with women and demand full justice, our species is doomed.

But maybe that’s for the best.

I know it is nihilism to say so.

Lord, don’t I know.
