(35,568 posts)You might say it's an aberration because it was Luka Magnotta but he started life thrown away by his parents, raised by a grandmother who gave him no structure and beat the crap out of him, was abused by older men and over the last 9 years slowly disintegrated and all of it documented on the net. I don't think he's the only kid like that who's been desperately screaming for attention since his youth.
I think most of us are good people, men and women, but we turn a blind eye to too many things because we'd feel like we were intruding.
Question, if you had a younger brother and he was putting down his partner in a sexist manner, or abusing her, would you say something? Would you say something if he was treating his children differently based on their sex, and was teaching his son to be a macho and his daughter, for example, to be an emotional manipulator who cried to get her way? Too few people say anything, no matter how gently, when they see it.
