Absolutely! They must be willing to look the other way.
Sadly child rape is an American family tradition. 1 in 3 girls between 11 & 17 experience attempted child rape or child rape. Usually by their fathers, close male relatives or family friends.Likely is part of that a woman’s place is in the home raising children the earlier the better.
I do think that is part of it. Having power and control over girls’ and women’s bodies.
America also has one of the highest levels of femicide in the world.
The Silent Epidemic of Femicide in the United States
March 10, 2023
Sanctuary for Families
Last summer, New Yorkers were rattled by the devastating, senseless murder of Azsia Johnson — a 20-year-old victim of domestic violence who was shot while walking her three-month-old baby on the Upper East Side.
Contrary to initial speculation, this was not a random killing — a few days after the shooting, the child’s father was arrested and charged with Azsia’s murder. According to her mother, Azsia’s ex-boyfriend physically abused her while pregnant with their child and continued to stalk and threaten her for months. Though shocking and infuriating, Johnson’s case is sadly just one of many instances of fatal violence against women.
Femicide is prevalent in the U.S.
In the United States, femicide — the gender-based killing of women — is often thought of as an issue affecting low-income countries. This could not be further from the truth; a study on female homicide victimization among 25 populous high-income countries found that 70% of all cases occurred in the U.S.
To put that into perspective, on a global scale, the U.S. ranks 34th for intentional female homicides at a rate of 2.6 killings per 100,000 women.
Moreover, in the US, almost three women are killed by an intimate partner every day. Just as in the case of Aszia Johnson, women in the U.S. are predominantly killed by men they know, and largely by current or former intimate partners. Of all female homicides in 2018 in which the victim-to-offender relationship could be identified, 92% of victims were killed by a man they knew, and 63% were killed by current husbands, boyfriends, or ex-husbands.
