The War on Women

First there's this. 

And then this.

And finally this.

And there's more stuff in India, Brazil, etc., etc., etc.

What is it about our culture that creates such a hostility towards women? Have men been exalted to this new level of social interaction and consciousness where it's ok to chuckle off sexism and innuendo because, well, "that's just how it is?"

Violence and violent images seem to dominate social media memes. There are a lot of "Get back in the kitchen" and "My girlfriend can't look at other guys" jokes and puns. Some of them are innocent enough and clever, but they can easily take a dark turn into violence against women. 

Images of grabbing, punching, and even choking are common. The more violent ones oftentimes elicit a few offended replies from women, but I'm afraid they fall on deaf ears. It's a lot funnier to LMBAOOOOOOOOO!!!! than to analyze the societal impacts of subjecting our minds to these consistent images of degrading women.

I don't know.
