Honor Killing in the Headlines ... Again

How to Avoid Honor Killing in Turkey? Honor Suicide

By DAN BILEFSKY, The New York Times


In her book Are Women Human? (2006),Catherine MacKinnon comes to the conclusion that, gee, no we are not. The anthology Femicide (1992) edited by Radford and Diana E. H. Russell is also instructive on these points.

Jack, really, at this point in history, isn't just a shade humiliating to still be so afraid of women? To still seek obedience through dominance, which breeds resentment, which fuels your paranoia, which enhances your fear, which bolsters your need for control, which escalates the level of violence you inflict in order to dominate and hold erect an incomplete world that runs from the moral heinouness of honor killing to the aesthetic laughability of My Ex-Girlfrind Is a Superhero?

After all these millenia, honey, aren't you just exhausted?

I hope you are. 'Cause the minute you go to sleep, Jack, my boy...

I'm going to dance my lovely way away from you.
