Nixymary
My theories, thoughts 4:00 am....I have been writing a lot about women and violence and that here in the U.S.A and globally I believe more females die "death by violence" than die by breast cancer but it is not being addresssed. I woke up and put on 1010 news and Nixymary's short horrific life and the role of her mother and step-father are constantly repeated. I have written about the pattern of men blaming the victims which seems to go hand and hand with the violence and murder. In this case which is too horrifying to fully grasp the mother is clearly in my opinion guilty as well.
I was discussing with a friend the "witch hunts" where they would burn women at the stake. We talked about "scapegoating" and how it is "easier to be dumb" (a different kind of dumbing down than refered to in the media) to not ask questions and challenge "the blame game". How many people saw some signs of abuse and acted deaf and dumb? This is not always gender specific and clearly women or even gangs of girls can be equally leathal or join in with male counterparts to all kinds of violence from verbal to the worst cases that result in death.
The scapegoating process makes it easier for people to not address what is really going on and scapegoating distracts from the real problems.
Nixymary is in a special place in Heaven if there is one and I can't write very much because her story is just too devastating but again it fits into my statiscal theory on violence to females and the death rate. There was also a clear pattern of verbal abuse and blame that is part of systematic expressions of hostility that were ignored by many and leads to escalated forms of violence and in Nixmary's short painful life, her murder.
