As we learn more of women's difference from men, we also soon learn they experience far more injustice and pain than men. They are often discriminated against and paid far less for the same day's work and are often rewarded far less for the same level of achievement. They also physically experience more pain. As it stands, the world is allowed to exploit, degrade, and harass women without censure. As it stands, women are the silent suffering oftentimes very slave group for whom this world fails to acknowledge the right to fair treatment and compensation. The world must confront men who hold the power in society with their knowing cruelty toward their best friend. Cruelty against women is an issue for the government of the next century.

IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO USE STONES TO KILL A WOMAN EITHER PHYSICALLY OR EMOTIONALLY. This movie should be viewed by human beings as an awakening of what damage lies and gossip can cause and of the inequality of women in most cultures and how grossly it affects all humans.
