South Koren confesses to killing 7 women

This shocking story is about a 39 year old South Korean man who has admitted to killing at least seven women. After killing his first wife, he claims that he lost all control and began killing women on sight. The women that he chose were random, and he would pick them after wandering around looking for one that he wanted to kill. He would pick the women up in his car and then rape them before murdering them.

This is one of the worst killing sprees ever to happen in South Korea and I believe this to be more than just a man who was insane and went on a spree. Women all around the world are dominated by men and many men feel that women are in fact inferior. The fact that this man was only looking for women and had an uncontrollable "urge" probably came from deep rooted issues against women.

This is only one case of violence against women. In many countries "mercy killings" are performed on women who "disgraced" their families with divorce, not having male children, etc. Other violence happens to women, and a lot of it happens within the home. As images of women begin to change around the world, hopefully this will start to change as well.
