KILL

KICKING A WOMAN IN THE HEAD

This is obviously a photo from a legal competition. Most likely it is a Muay Thai contest. But made into a poster with the caption, "I hate girls" is telling. It is disturbing social commentary. It asks questions many of us don't want to entertain, at the least, or ponder seriously as adults and parents.

How many times a day do we see this done on various levels to one woman after another? Our mothers know this story better than our fathers. Our wives know this better than we, their husbands, do. Sisters know this better than their brothers, and rapists know this better than others who pretend this is not a cultural and spiritual tradition.

The image is brutal, but it is a culturally supported dream, and point of creative hatred, and projection into the air we all breathe. How this is changing as a norm is dependent upon the courage of souls to 'see' and to change, repent, to unlearn, and open up to hearing the voices of the beaten woman, the downtrodden daughters subjected to the menace of men, pimps, the patriarchs, the religions not allowing the manifestation of the expansion of the Womb energies to do anything, but fuel the angry fires that drive the most brutal of men’s reaction to the story of what Eve did in the Garden of Eden to kill beat, and destroy.

Because this violence is normal in our times, and many societies practice cruelty upon their women where does forgiveness hide? How does a man shift his energies from dark rage and anger into the light and the expectation we all felt being born into this world? - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories
