"Growing scarcity of girls and women has tilted the balance of the sexes and the rich and poor in nations where “gendercide” is practiced on a large scale.
Overall in Asia, about 160 million women and girls are missing. Because of the selective elimination of baby girls, there are now an estimated 37 million more males than females living in China today. This severe gender imbalance is a powerful, driving force behind trafficking in women and sexual slavery from nations surrounding China. According to the World Health Organization, China has the highest female suicide rate of any country in the world. Approximately 500 Chinese women end their lives each day.
Could this extraordinary suicide rate be related to the trauma of enduring a forced abortion? India’s 2011 census identified seven million more boys than girls under age seven. For every 1,000 boys, there are now 914 girls. Among the most disturbing outcomes of this skewed sex ratio, is the increase in sex trafficking that it causes. Women might have to be locked up or forced to marry multiple men and traded like commodities. Rich families who could afford selection for boys may have trouble finding brides for their sons. So, they turn to poor families with daughters, who sell their daughters to the rich. Between 1992 and 2004 China’s crime rate nearly doubled. In India from 2003 to 2007 rape cases surged over 30 percent and abductions by over 50 percent prompting the government to unveil female-only trains. And as women become more scarce, their value rises which one would think would mean that women would be treated better. But the exact opposite is true.
Women have become commodities to be bought and sold. Parents all over Asia are guarding their girls against kidnappers. Women are routinely kidnapped and dragged across boundary lines to be forced into the sex industry. Some women are bought to be a wife to several men, usually brothers. -Women's Rights Activist Cindy Brower
There's a petition available online specifically targetting the Indian and Chinese government to intervene in the illegal trafficking of young girls, as well as forcing women to abort female fetuses' simply because of their biological sex (e.g.: "to condemn the practices that have led to the elimination of millions of girls & women...and hold the government of Indian & China accountable") The selective elimination and exploitation of young girls is probably one of the biggest facets of a patriarchal world and needs to stop NOW!

Another episode of Wikipedia's thoughtless sexism
Recently, Wikipedia has saw fit to delete several pages relating to Scythian religion. The most notable casualties of this spiteful decision are Tabiti, which stands as the matriarch of the Scythian pantheon and its actual head according to Herodotus’ Histories, and Argimpasa, a rather iconic figure in the discussion of the matriarchal aspects of Scythian society.
The world’s leading encyclopaedia can afford to have articles about anal sex but not about important mythological female figures. And all because of spite.
The de facto reason for this deletion is a rather complex conflict between Wikipedia as a whole and me, and is pa

PSA: Take Street Harassment Seriously!
Street Harassment: Is a Man Running Over a 14-Year Old Girl for Refusing Sex Serious Enough?
Written by: Soraya Chemaly
Feminist, Writer, Satirist... not always in that order
Me, again. Time for another, "please take street harassment seriously" post.
Earlier this week a man in a car pulled up next to a 14-year old girl on a street in Florida and offered to pay her $200 to have sex with him. Some people would say that's a compliment. It's part of being out in society, learning to deal with people, navigating relationships between men and women. Or, at least that what many commenters on articles I write about street harassment think. That
Report: 3rd of women worldwide have been assaulted
According to the World Health Organization, "A third of women worldwide have been physically or sexually assaulted by a former or current partner, according to the first major review of violence against women."
In a series of papers released on Thursday by the World Health Organisation and others, experts estimated nearly 40 per cent of women killed worldwide were murdered by an intimate partner. Being assaulted by a partner was the most common kind of violence experienced by women.
"Violence against women is a global health problem of epidemic proportions," WHO Director-General Dr Margaret Chan said in a statement.
