It is up to parents to raise their kids right? If the statistics stated before are right that 80% of violent men are raised by single mothers then obviously yes, they are doing something wrong.

This would place all blame for deceitful husbands on the women who believed their lies, instead of on the men who lied. Talk about classic victim-blaming!
 

Pope: Femicides in Latin America a scourge that must stop​

TRUJILLO, Peru (AP) — Pope Francis denounced femicides and other gender-based crimes that have turned Latin America into the most violent place on Earth for women, calling for legislation to protect them and a new cultural mindset as he visited one of Peru’s most dangerous parts.

At a Marian prayer in the northern seaside city of Trujillo on Saturday (Jan. 20), Francis called women, mothers and grandmothers the guiding force for families. And yet, he said, in the Americas they are too often victims of murder and “many situations of violence that are kept quiet behind so many walls.”

Pope - Lawmakers - Women - Culture - Form​

The first Latin American pope called for lawmakers to protect women and for a new culture “that repudiates every form of violence.” His remarks came the same day large crowds marched throughout the United States and other countries in support of female empowerment.

Well, well, well, even the Pope has addressed this but was it helpful?

And no blame at all for the men who abandoned those women and children? Lovely.
 
Perhaps, you can open up a thread asking what the USA’s response should be to this problem.

Our response again, is to be Christian.

The border is right there, it’s a problem right on the border so this is not some faraway problem that it appears to be of some.

Again, what should the Holy Father’s response been?

If it’s good enough for Him, it’s good enough for me.

And it is about awareness in part or the Pope might not have said anything.

If the guy did a runner and doesn’t want anything to do with the family it is up to the mother to raise the kid properly, you can’t just let the kid go crazy and blame it on the absent father because she is right there.
 
I did. You said it was up to women to vet men to make sure they won’t ‘bolt.’ Nothing about the man’s responsibility for bolting.

Exactly. My post was silent on his responsibility. Yet your post misrepresented that I said he has zero responsibility, which I never said.
 
Maybe, in a way, the fact that society often does seem to expect women to be responsible for keeping men’s behaviour in check is part of the problem.

While I don’t want to minimize femicide of already born women, the larger numbers of deaths of women occur when they are in the womb. The acceptance of abortion is not a male issue.

This is true… however, we are not talking about just the USA here. Abortion is largely illegal in Mexico. Mexico is greatly affected by this. So, where does that leave your argument? I thought, basically, abortion is totally illegal in Mexico except perhaps some exception in Mexico city itself.

There were still appox 18K abortions in Mexico last year, but there were approx 40M worldwide. My argument still stands. approx 9k female abortions in Mexico, approx 20m worldwide.

So in what other scenario are there more than 20m female deaths? I don’t really know what your Mexico example is trying to disprove.

The noun “Femicide”, being coined only in 1976, pretends to mask the older expression: “crime of passion”.

No…not crime of passion only…Girls,teens,young adults,used,abused, caught while they walk, caught when going to work,anything…and killed.
Bodies found discarded as trash. Sometimes totally unrelated to the perpetrator.
Femicide is much wider than crime of passion.
It is demeaning,using and descarding a woman,any woman sometimes,because she is a woman= nothing…

I said your statement, as worded, placed the blame on women. Please show me where you said the blame is correctly more heavily placed on the abandoning husband.

Femicide happens to an extent everywhere. Some countries in Latin America have this problem, Argentina is known to have this, it being far away as it is. Mexico definitely has it and I think there

Lord Jesus have mercy.

This is a very serious pro-life issue…
 
Yes. Absent the mention of any responsibility by men, your statement placed all the blame on women.
