I have at least one more thing to say about the murder of Iryna Zarutska. And that is that as a man, I feel deeply, deeply ashamed of what we have become.
Every crime like this that succeeds and goes to trial means that the men on the scene failed in their duty.
The savage I refuse to name should have died in a hail of bullets before he could complete his crime - and if not, within seconds after it.
The duty of women is to bear and nurture children. The duty of civilized men is to protect the women and children.
Any position about sex roles other than this is a luxury belief, sustainable only by privileged minorities. Because when most people do not act as though they believe this, civilization dies.
Iryna died because men failed in their central and sacred duty to protect.
ENOUGH!
If you are a man, remember what you are. And what you are for. Insist on your duty and your right to go armed in defense of the women and children. Because there are always savages lurking in the darkness.
Don't leave it to the police and the military. They can't be everywhere, and you wouldn't want to live in the kind of society where they tried.
It's on you. You! It's your duty, and it's also your duty to say a firm "FUCK YOU! NO!" to anyone who tries to stand between you and that charge, or disarm you from performing it.
If you're a woman? Honor and cherish the men who defend you. Don't sabotage them by telling them you don't need them. Because you do. Iryna Zarutska found that out in the hardest possible way.
