A FB Post from Mollie Tibbett's aunt

[Bann]

This post was made by Mollie's aunt and I'm not sure that she is the spokesperson for the family, but it was posted on Saturday and it's still there.

No.


No, no and no.


Especially for those of you who did not know her in life, you do not get to usurp Mollie and her legacy for your racist, false narrative now that she is no longer with us. We hereby reclaim our Mollie.
Mollie was a young, intelligent, caring woman with a ready smile and a compassionate heart. So many across the state of Iowa and the entire country embraced her, and us, as we all searched and hoped for her safe return. It was not to be. Mollie was killed, and a man has been arrested and charged with her murder. Yes, that man is an immigrant to this country, with uncertainty as to his legal status. But it matters not. He could have been a citizen, born in this country; he could have been an older, white man from anywhere; he could have been a man from Mollie’s world. He is a man, whose path in life crossed that of Mollie’s life, with tragic results. He is a man who felt entitled to impose himself on Mollie’s life, without consequence. He is a man who, because of his sense of male entitlement, refused to allow Mollie the right to reject his advances – the right to her own autonomy. Mollie was murdered because a man denied her right to say no.


Our national discussion needs to be about the violence committed in our society, mostly by men, as seen by these grim statistics from the FBI:
• 89.5% of murders are committed by men.
• 98.9% of forcible rapes are committed by men.
• 80% of violence against families and children is committed by men.
• 85% of intimate partner violence is committed by men.


We must be willing to address the way we raise our boys and young men, so that violence is not a part of their response to this world. Like the recent murders of the Colorado family or the similarly tragic homicide of Kate Steinle, Mollie’s death is further example of the toxic masculinity that exists in our society.

Mollie’s murder is truly tragic and horrifically painful for all of us who knew and loved her, the extinguishing of a treasured spirit much too soon. It is not your right to exacerbate this grievous act by hijacking Mollie and all she believed with your racist fear-mongering. You do not get to use her murder to inaccurately promote your “permanently separated” hyperbole. You do not have permission to callously use this tragedy to demonize an entire population for the acts of one man.


No. We reclaim our Mollie.

You mean - like you did by blaming the entire male population, Ms. Murphy?

I have no idea about the veracity of these statistics she quoted, as she provides no links to back them up. However, the family doesn't get to control the public narrative for their own purpose, either. :shrug:

This post was made by Mollie's aunt .....

Apparently quoted from some 'War on Women' posting on line ......

Google any one of those 'Stats' and in the 1st page you get
Move ON's Facebook
Democratic Underground

this breaks down the stats ... for better comprehension

Another example of a misleading, incomplete representation of facts about an important women’s issue

The reality is that while women are at a 52% greater risk than men for being the victim of homicide by an intimate partner, men are at a four-time greater risk than women of being murdered overall, and are six-times more likely than women to be murdered by somebody besides an intimate partner. The “War on Women” graphic above undermines the seriousness of domestic violence and compromises the credibility of feminists by presenting incomplete and misleading data. Unfortunately, the “War on Women” rhetoric often becomes a “War on the Truth” by distorting and misrepresenting factual data, and this is a classic example.

I figured all of her stats would be distorted or bogus, so I didn't even bother to try and search them out. It was clear from the beginning of her post what her agenda was.

No, she is probably horrified by the anti-immigrant sentiment that has accompanied her niece’s death. Stats show women are most likely to be attacked in this country by white males.
