Yeah it's not like she's ever done anything on behalf of child soldiers in war-torn countries or anything.

There (usually) is no mention of HIV/AIDS at cancer awareness events as well. This doesn't mean those with cancer regard other diseases as not important.

Unfortunately, more men are killed, world wide then women. Men are routinely sexually assaulted, gang raped and enslaved in jails world wide, and are genitally mutilated without consent (circumscised).

I've said this a million times already, but I'm going to keep on saying it.

50 studies (1), all available at the time of writing, indicate that men are no more violent than women in relationships. DV is roughly equal between the sexes, with some studies showing women are more violent. Especially when education is low, amongst young women (< 23) and older women (>60). When it comes to using weapons, women assault men some 70% more! And based on a brief observation at numerous kindergartens by the author (not a solid study by any means, but an interesting observation nonetheless), girls hit boys almost 20 times more than guys hit girls. So from a young age, boys are being taught to never hit a girl and girl's are given the green-light, albeit tacitly, to hit boys.

Why do all of these things have to be for "violence against women"? Why can't it be violence against human beings?
