Finally, somebody else is saying it.
I am so sick of hearing men and their murderous impulses excused, left and right, because of "the economy." Goddamn it, the men of this world slaughter the women of this world with impunity all the time, in all kinds of economies, at all levels of society, all over the world. Domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, murder -- all the time. And now their excuse is, "the economy made me do it"??
How come we don't see women hauling off and blowing away men? How come we, who are constantly aggrieved, aren't taking it out on innocent people? Aren't we suffering just as much from "the economy" as these guys?
These men are sad and pissed off? Then they can kill themselves. They don't have to murder their entire families -- or innocent people in schools, stores, tc. -- along with them. I don't know which makes me more furious -- the excuses being doled out for these murderers, or for the war criminals of the Bush administration and the torture-lovers now defending them.
And if you feel so inclined, you can send Jean Marbella or her editors a fan letter, as I did.
