#also didn’t the earliest writings in europe say stuff about smashing women’s teeth in or sth…

1. false, “the religion” (which again, ive shared cases of men from various different religions here) does not prescribe that you kill your own female relatives or partners if: they show their face on tiktok, they don’t have a son, they don’t give the tv remote, they get an abortion, they move to another country, they refuse an arranged marriage, they date a non-muslim, they have a snapchat, they don’t wear a scarf, they are pregnant and unmarried, they don’t serve him food at night, they somehow make the man jealous, they removed the AirTag he secretly put in their car, they asked him to buy bread, they sold beans without his permission, they break up with him. men feel entitled to killing women for these reasons bc of a larger culture of entitlement towards the women in their lives, this entitlement is a societal problem rather than simply caused by them reading religious scripture.

2. what culture? again, i’ve shared cases of americans, chinese-malaysians, saudis, iraqis, indians, iranians, nigerians, americans (of different races, 2 from texas & 1 from illionois), pakistanis, and kenyans. which culture then? the men were christian, hindu, buddhist, or muslim, which religion do we blame here?

3. you don’t like when the west is grouped together as one culture but you just grouped at least 10 cultures together in your claims that these men killed women because of “their culture”… i wonder what culture made josef fritzl kidnap, lock up, and rape his daughter for decades? was it austrian culture that made him do it? how about mikhail popkov, did russian culture make him kill & rape dozens of women and girls? did peter sutcliffe kill women because of english culture? femicide in europe is highest in poland, a country that is 98.6% european & 91% catholic, does polish culture make the men kill women?

as i have said… the one thing they ALL have in common isn’t culture, nationality, religion, or race. what all the cases i’ve shared have in common is that they are men who killed the women in their lives. there are similar cases around europe, done by white christian men, too. male violence against women is a global phenomena and blaming it on culture is a good way of pretending otherwise.
