To me, most of the time true evil is committed by people that see themselves as “normal,” and many times done by humans who see themselves as holier than most. Women are often on the receiving end of this type of evil, from forced female circumcision (genital mutilation), to forced suicide when their husbands die, to global domestic violence, to horrific acts of acid-dousing. The below feature is about women in Pakistan. As a father of 3 daughters, a husband, a son and a human on planet earth, I know that we should all stand up against the violence women face around the world! All of the evil bastards that harmed these woman should be executed, because humanity does not need them! This feature is from Library of Most Controversial Files.
What happens when a woman turns down a man’s proposal? As far as most of us know and romantic comedies go, it just really sucks for the man.
But in many parts of the world, where forced and arranged marriages are commonplace, saying “no” either isn’t an option or comes with horrific consequences.
The following Pakistani women were doused in acid for refusing to marry. The men who were supposed to love them for life disfigured them for life instead.
It was as if to say, “If I can’t have you, nobody else will.”
These images are part of a series by photographer Emilio Morenatti aimed at raising domestic violence awareness and giving long-silent victims a voice.
Morenatti hopes not only to highlight these monstrous crimes, but also to turn survivors into heroes who inspire global change.
- Irum Saeed, 30 Irum was burned on her face, back and shoulders when she was 18 years old. A boy she rejected for marriage thew acid on her in the middle of the street. She’s had 25 corrective surgeries since.
- Kanwal Kayum, 26 Kanwal was burned with acid by a boy whose marriage proposal she turned down. This photo was taken one year after the attack, and she hadn’t had any plastic surgery yet.
- Saira Liaqat, 26 Saira holds a photograph of herself before being burned. Saira was married at 15, but was to live with her parents until she finished school. Her husband wasn’t so keen on the idea, and attacked her with acid as punishment for making him wait. Saira has had nine surgeries since.
- Shahnaz Bibi, 35 Ten years ago, 35-year-old Shahnaz Bibi was doused in acid by a relative during a family dispute. She has never had plastic surgery.

What do you mean “some men” do? Where are the photos of this happening in Europe or America? Or do you really think this is just a coincidence that these are ALL women from the Middle East? When the fuck are you going to wake up America, and recognize that yes, Muslim has some serious issues? This doesn’t mean fuck refugees, this doesn’t mean all Muslim men are evil, it does mean this is a serious issue, and pretending otherwise is only allowing this to happen.

I find it interesting and not surprising that the religion of these people is not uttered once in this article.
Here’s a hint, it’s not Christianity, because if it was it surely would have been mentioned.
Here’s another hint. It is the same religion belonging to the refugees responsible for the rash of rapes in Europe that this website’s “social justice” section is also curiously silent on.

Pretty Gruesome pics that testify an horrific practice sadly taking place worldwide.
Here in Italy we had a notorious case these days: a couple, Alexander Botcher and Martina Levato, has aimed at men who had relations with Levato to disfigure them with acid most for a sorta sadistic retaliation (although the reasons for some attacks are still pretty unknown).
I think this is kinda interesting for the cultural implications that makes the reasons behind the attack but not the practice.

There’s something painfully ironic about a website who’s cultural appeal centers around misanthropy, music that celebrates brutality, torture, murder, and he’ll, posting a statement about misogyny

Hmm – as a follower of Cvlt Nation for quite some time – I fail to see the irony, except perhaps the one encompassed in your comment?

Just because someone is misanthropic or likes dark arts and music, doesn’t mean they throw acid in people’s face.

There’s a massive difference in being attracted to the dark side of life and using that as an outlet and being a fucking cruel cunt of a human.

Nathanael you´re missing the point. Art reflects what is dark or wrong with society in many forms even incarnating evil in a aestheticly way. I don´t think that many of the musicians or painters or whatever use to drop acid in the face of woman, or kill people as a sport. There is a lot of people who claim to be philanthropists and they are cruel as fuck.

Misanthropy as nothing to do with cruelty. Being a misanthrope means freeing oneself from human society. Just sayin’…

The misanthropy in darker music is typically hatred of the side of humanity that does this
