"In Colombia, Mother’s Day is also one of the most violent days of the year, with women bearing the brunt of it in the home. Historically, domestic and sexual violence in Colombia spikes around and on Mother’s Day, as does the murder rate."

What a sick irony that women are getting MURDERED on the one day that’s supposed to be a day of rest and honor for mothers (though it’s mostly a day of lip service and platitudes).

I caught that some of the violence against mothers is caused by disputes with “absent dads” over “childcare payments.”

Cue the MRAs crying that moms asking fathers to be responsible for their own kids is wallet rape and that they deserve to die anyway for being gold diggers.
