The case of Anne Pressly is on the same continuum as the Iranian women suffering so much at the hands of vicious, vindictive and misogynstic men but will most people see the connection. I very much doubt it because excuses will be made and if that fails well they always fall back on denial because it works. Keep denying the truth and it becomes ‘untrue.’ That is the substance of men’s war against women of all ethnicities, cultures, class etc. - denial it is happening, has happened and will continue to happen until such time as men decide they will hold misogynistic and women-hating men accountable for their actions.

But until that happens we will continue to read or hear about the brave women who refuse to submit to men’s hatred but resist even if it costs them their lives. Because that is the ultimate punishment facing women if they dare to challenge men’s pseudo claims to superior human status. But herstory shows women will not submit and resistance will continue until such time as there is a radical change within differing societies.
