Think About This...In his book The War on Women, Vallée reveals that from 2000 to the end of 2006, the total of all U.S. military and law enforcement deaths – including accidents and suicides – was 4,588. The combined total of all Canadian military and law enforcement deaths in that period was 101. In that same seven years more than 8,000 women in the U.S. were shot, stabbed, strangled, burned, or beaten to death by the intimate males in their lives. While in Canada, over 500 women—five times more than Canadian soldiers and police officers—were killed by their current or former male partners. Even adding in all the victims of 9/11 to the U.S. law enforcement and military total, it’s still less than the number of women killed. Stephen Lewis, in his foreword for The War on Women, describes the worldwide problem of domestic violence as “its own holocaust”. And Vallée says “when you look at the numbers, calling it a ‘war’ on women is accurate and legitimate.” |
