Does that mean we have a "culture" of murder?

I was wondering if anyone had challenged Facebook themselves about this. They hosted the page for a long time...did they not get complaints? Did they not feel it was inappropriate or illegal?

On some feminist issues male supporters should just stand back and let women do all the talking; this is not one of those issues. Rape culture will only die if men speak out against it strongly and often. So good on you for doing it, we need more men like you.helenalexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057225441101183394.post-15372232831573757832013-11-12T10:31:46.514+13:002013-11-12T10:31:46.514+13:00It is great we are talking about the issues around...It is great we are talking about the issues around the Roast Busters and the radio followup.
