Although I rarely keep abreast of current events (as I know that there is nothing new under the sun), I just happened to see this as I logged on today and I felt the need to speak out because I know the pain of being expected to win, while being robbed of the recourses to do so. I personally know the heartache of being held-back, pinned down and reigned in, while male counterparts are encouraged to forge ahead.
Since my youth, I've lived with the double-standard of being criticized for attempting to master the same feats that males are haled for. Being called a tomboy, ball-buster & dyke are nothing compared to the uphill struggle of having men take credit for my work, get paid more for doing less work and go out of their way to discredit me at every turn.
I sought to find out what pictures this young woman posted that caused her brother to take her life. I found none. What I did find was that we still live in a world that rewards the son for being male, while punishing the daughter for being born with a vagina. The son's penis is worth more than the daughter's brains, talents, innovative ideas and courage. This idiot didn't kill his sister for honor - he was jealous of her wit & personality. He could not handle the fact that she was actually "the favorite son" making more money.
