Papua New Guinea: Women and children killed in tribal massacre
On Sunday, seven people - four men and three women - were killed in Munima village. Then on Monday, 16 women and children were hacked to death in the village of Karida, EMTV said. Two of the women were pregnant.
According to the Post-Courier newspaper, the attacks took place on Saturday and Sunday with six people killed the first day and 16 - including two pregnant women - in a retaliatory attack the following day.
I've genuinely never understood the extra horror expressed when "even woman and children" are murdered, as if it's acceptable for "just men" to be murdered. At what age is does a male move from being an unacceptable target to an acceptable one?
Feminists would be up in arms - and rightly so - if it were the other way round and things like this weren't reported as long as it's "just women" being murdered and only hit the headlines when "even men" are killed .
