Wil's Rant

So this time it's a woman in Pakistan. She made the mistake of not following her families orders and married a man whom she had chosen. The result was an attack by her brother who proceeded to chop at her legs. She is now in critical condition. I would think that further comment would be unneccesary. Judging from the number of women who receive this type of treatment, there has been nowhere near enough comments on the problem.

On that note, India is coming to the frontlines. According to the report, there are now fifty million more men in India than women. Whether by selective choice of boys or by the practice of killing female babies, it would appear that the goal of not having female children is being achieved. All I can say about this is the fact that I would think a girl would be better off not living than to live in a society which would rather kill female babies than to be blessed by their presence. This is so common as to be not worthy of news. What would be news would be the penalizing any man guilty of such an act with the same enthusiasm that they used against a defenseless little girl.
