Hey, ange, be sure to check out Michael's great pacifism/just peacemaking writings over at his site:

It's a wealth of information and excellent reasoning.
Thanks Dan, I will.
Deep. Sad, too. No matter the culture, feminist poetry depresses me because I realize just how little progress on gender equality we've made in ANY culture. It is still dangerous to be born female. As the father of 2 daughters, I worry about that greatly.
You have said a mouthful, my friend. Yes it is sad to say that being born a female in many parts of the world is still a death sentence. Thank you for visiting my blog and for commenting.
Yes, I have no choice. Baby girls are still routinely poisoned and burried in Southern India. Baby girls are still abandoned in China, not to mention dowry deaths in India and honor killings in the Middle East.
I recently visited a couple of countries in Africa. I couln't believe how bad things were for women. College educated and still having to beg and sell themselves on the street.
In light of this, I'd really love to hear your heart on my most recent post if you have time.
I understand your reservation to believe that this is commonplace, but it happens so often to so many women - I know women, including myself who have been date raped more than once by different men, and these aren't the kind of women who give ment he wrong impression. I've taught young girls, six year olds, who have to run to the bathroom constantly because they were raped by an adult relative. If truth be told, I believe the real statistics would be staggering.
