Carol Maltesi, the young woman brutally murdered and hacked to pieces by banker Davide Fontana, was killed five times. The first time, by the pornography industry -online and then also live shows- from which the girl had been captured during the lockdown to be able to provide for herself and her son, whom she had given birth to when she was just 20 years old. The second time by her tormentor, for whom we are looking for -as usual- reasons: he killed her [...].

The journal Science & Justice (volume 62-2, March 2022, pp. 214-220) published the study "Twenty years of femicide in Milan: A retrospective medicolegal analysis" (you can read it here). The study was conducted by Lucie Biehler-Gomez, Lidia Maggioni, Stefano Tambuzzi, Alessandra Kustermann, Cristina Cattaneo, the research team affiliated with the Laboratory of Forensic Anthropology and Odontology (LABANOF) of the University of Milan and/or the Sexual and Domestic Violence Service (SVSeD) of the Policlinico [...].

There is one thing that Covid has proved: a masked society does not work. Supporters of the veil were immediately enthusiastic: "Yes, you see, the mask is like the burqa, but yes, it's the same, it's fun to feel more laïcard (secularist), what do you think?".

The chronicle details are useless if not to confirm, once again, the ineffectiveness of the protection measures: the dismissed do not go away, the denounced on the loose are enraged, the alarms launched by the [...].

Because she was sure it would end like this, Clara Ceccarelli, killed with thirty stab wounds in Genoa by the ex-boyfriend who had been torturing her for over a year, went to pay for her own funeral a fortnight ago. She did not want to get her son and old father into trouble. She was hyper-responsible. She was strong and thought of everyone. She wanted, as they say, to leave things in place. This is the horror that Clara lived in. Her terrible loneliness, her resignation. She knew that [...]

A lot of men tend to get defensive whenever the topic of male dominance comes up. "We are not all like that," they repeat in unison. They report anecdotes of their 'good deeds' towards women, claiming that they have never attacked them verbally and/or physically, that they have listened to them, that they have treated them as people. But is this enough? Of course not. First of all, it must be acknowledged that, regardless of their actions, men enjoy a privilege linked to the fact that they belong to the male sex, for [...]
