Over four weeks this summer, at least three men murdered their families. Together, the three men killed 17 people, 12 of them children. And within a day or two, each story had vanished from the national news. 2/end
To teach younger children -- girls and boys alike -- about asserting their own boundaries and respecting the boundaries of others, we highly recommend "Let's Talk About Body Boundaries, Consent, and Respect" for ages 4 to 7

https://www.amightygirl.com/body-boundaries

 and "Consent (for Kids!)" for ages 6 to 10

https://www.amightygirl.com/consent-for-kids

For two excellent books about a tween girls' experience with sexual harassment - both for 10 and up - check out "Maybe He Just Likes You" 

https://
www.amightygirl.com/maybe-he-just-likes-you

 and "That's What Friends Do" 

https:// www.amightygirl.com/that-s-what-friends-do

If you're a parent concerned that your daughter may be in an unhealthy relationship, check out the books "But I Love Him: Protecting Your Teen Daughter from Controlling, Abusive Relationships" 

https:// www.amightygirl.com/but-i-love-him

 and "Saving Beauty From The Beast: How to Protect Your Daughter from an Unhealthy Relationship" 

https:// www.amightygirl.com/saving-beauty-from-the-beastThree Men Murdered Their Families in a Single Month, Killing 12 Children. Why Is It Barely a Blip in the News Cycle When Men Kill Their Families?
A Mighty Girl · 11h. Author
UPDATE: We're seeing a number of comments from men making the same argument: "It's barely a blip because no one is trying to argue the men are innocent." "Nobody is trying to defend them." "No men are rushing to defend their actions -- quite the opposite."
That line of reasoning doesn't just miss the point. It's confirming exactly what we wrote.
These killings didn't slip past the country because no one stepped up to defend the men. They slipped past because almost no one heard about them in the first place. There was no debate, no
controversy, no rush to defend or condemn -- because there was barely any coverage to have a debate around. You cannot argue over a man's guilt or innocence when you never hear about his crime in the first place.
The disparity is easy to test. Most people reading this can recount the Lindsay Clancy case in detail -- the psychiatric testimony, the husband, the arguments on both sides. Most people cannot name a single one of the three men who murdered their families this summer, though together they killed 17 people, 12 of them children, in the span of a month.
That gap isn't because his guilt was obvious and hers was murky. It's not that people rushed to defend her while condemning the male killers. It's that a man murdering his family barely makes the news at all.
A man murdering his family isn't treated as a mystery to be solved or a horror to be reckoned with. It's treated as weather -- grim, expected, unremarkable, gone by the next news cycle. That silence is what it looks like when a society has quietly decided that violence from men is simply to be expected.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?
