I Swear That Us Men Have Humanity

Well… that was a horrifying article to read. It just pains me to see how despicable human or men in this case can be. The only thing that surprises me more than the lack of humanity in these horrible people is the lack of help and/ lack of understanding from law enforcement or organizations. It is just common sense that if someone is threatened constantly or very specifically that it would not just be a “harmless locker-room talk”. Just to put it in perspective; making a claim to shoot up a school, just like the email that spread through Virginia Tech, will cause police to take the case very seriously. However, if a threat to rape and kill a woman is made constantly by the same person it is disregarded. It is understandable to say that these two situations are very different in nature and of course a school shooting is more of a priority. This cannot in any sense condone the blatant victim blaming or very unreasonable advice given by law enforcement. Such as saying to Valnti to never walk alone outside and keep aware of everyone around her. That is like saying to a human to be watchful the air we breathe. The argument about having the huge imbalance in the ratio of men to women is really hard to fix or explain. It would be a common assumption in the modern world that there is not an organized effort to keep women out of jobs in law enforcement or technology. Another tricky topic is the fight between privacy and releasing information to law enforcement. It may seem very cut and dry about how to keep the balance. Just release the bad guy’s stuff and keep good people’s information locked away. However, it would be naïve to think that is how the privacy law would be bent. It is not a thing that can be bent rather is more like a dam, in that if you chip away at it enough it will just blow through and there will be no privacy protection; for which I am a huge advocate for. The whole topic is a huge mess with no real good solution in the near future due to the tools being ready to use but nonetheless unable to use for good purpose.
