Rape and Abuse

Why is it that we hear more about women abuse and rape?

Is it because people automatically think that women are vulnerable? 

It probably is, the stereotype that women seem to be weaker than men makes

women look so fragile and powerless. This image and thought is wrong, this is the

kind of stereotype that makes this world even worse than it already is. If it were not

for this stereotype of women, MAYBE just maybe there would be less

of these terrible crimes of rape and abuse. Just because of the saying, "man of the house" 

and how the male gender tends to be powerful. Our society really should think before we decide to

come up with these stupid "rules" of how things should ALWAYS be.
