November 25 - International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

"Millions of women and girls around the world are assaulted, beaten, raped, mutilated or even murdered in what constitutes appalling violations of their human rights. [...] We must fundamentally challenge the culture of discrimination that allows violence to continue. On this International Day, I call on all governments to make good on their pledges to end all forms of violence against women and girls in all parts of the world, and I urge all people to support this important goal."

Then you should be able to call her names and threaten violence to her.

Like this piece of shit does.

targeting them?

Yeah, that would be left to stand, too. Sure it would. Of course.

When you turn it back on them then they get offended.
