War on Women

Any good "War On" campaign is not complete without bestowing enemy combatant status, and therefore the most torturous acts, upon the casualties of such abstract concepts. The War on Poverty punishes the poor. The War on Drugs incarcerates the user. The War on Terror tortures civilians.

The War on Women is not a campaign so much as one of the true bedrocks of society. It is a war without end, as there will always be women to treat as enemy combatants as long as there are women.

Tortuous acts abound. A woman, who was unconscious during her sexual assault, is threatened with incarceration and the dropping of charges against her assailants because she refuses to be tortured with images of her assault. Since no memory of it existed before, the act only serves to satisfy the voyeruistic pleasures of the reality TV hungry set as they examine every torturous reaction from her. She is punished for not having memory of her original torture, so she must be made to go through it in every detail. While others watch.

Another woman had the audacity to write bad chacks and be pregnant. What a wonderful excuse to shackle her during anesthesia-free labor and produce sciatic nerve damage and persistent back pain! Not all bad-check writers are sentenced to such torture. Just women giving birth.

The war escalates.
