A piece of toast and a slice of watermelon does not work in the same way as a full english breakfast does when nursing a hang over. Fucking Tequila! Do I regret it? Don't be so silly, got it all to do again tonight. Yeeeee Hawwwww But let's just get through the day first. Church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, I didn't bother going inside, I was more interested in what all the photographs and words were about. I thought I would take a closer look and see what injustice was happening. !["Justice is selective for Oaxcan females"](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/grindle/23wgFghTGPdLH5cNi613DMvVn7qgLbkqv8DgFiNvDHfEtyRTRQAqFpqWgWSsepgy6DEqE.jpeg) ![_DSC7908.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/grindle/48PwgGAwstyYeGbTNb7fCNiiLtgwzhff8unWJ3ANFKexdUWH8hZMFodNegrDTqJ94m.jpeg) WHAT THE GUIDE BOOKS WON'T TELL YOU. - Mexico as a country is ranked as having the highest rate of child sexual abuse in the world. - Oaxaca State ranks fourth nationally in child sexual abuse. - In 2022, just under 150 women and girls were murdered and since 2018, 540 women and girls murdered. No call it what it really is Femicide, killed just because you are female. - Indigenous and colonial cultures are associated with the patriarchy of domination over women; creating conditions for systemic violence against women *Patriarchy* A system of society in which the father or eldest male is head of the family. A system of society in which men hold the power and women are largely excluded from it. Sometimes I am ashamed to be a man. ![Justice is a right not a privelige](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/grindle/23tveVtCm5D5p6e6uiHqLQWPvV1PRCgskdLYKqh3B9xepArgpYDNyiSuen35hSrDA3vjS.jpeg) ![_DSC7920.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/grindle/EoAaCqMGxahStypPjTGhJ14ThGfCF7XCdTzY4X2A3oKn3KTCWBvFopJNoUVsCnCmRVJ.jpeg) ![_DSC7921.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/grindle/23tH1D1DVwAUWV6srkJrsdrAzh2qF6GodqkfLLs59b4CVatMGfCXUAXWccNhK8xxL8AzU.jpeg) So many beautiful young faces stared back at me, gone from this world. ![dividers-08.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/grindle/23swXqJXt8Mc6TXJwmnAwmv4oMxoBwAjmvRLoXcDDUHEhxE4HEypbBti31EAuDAcFEBWt.png) I guess it is a bit of an enigma now why there are so many Catrinas around and about on the streets, enjoyed by all. ![_DSC7906.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/grindle/23ywkegA9EmwXwuifkGnauKrjMvYdZV9ACfxpQCog6XEu1sGqJqwUWgv9eLcX8eXz21P4.jpeg) ![_DSC7907.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/grindle/23wWrbLZ1Rz8Unvmx4TY6eQSn1ShP25EAGwg1fjynU52vgfGXZ28G2Eyd4CD2cBV4dtT2.jpeg) I guess life goes on, so let's look at some nearby artwork ![_DSC7909.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/grindle/23wgL5jm9EyAs7k6MoZBoeJiwhLztXGrp5x9PTcvSSHR8HZGzLMzCJD1ZmDrf1Vt52BVm.jpeg) The tree constructed out of welded together scrap metal adorned with some wonderful colourful skulls. ![_DSC7911.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/grindle/23uFMmqrLJAEmUgCGPZhLPu42nNpaqeHkYqU1ZGGxQpVDCSRvTbjyYGwcMZTMx5Mk4fjo.jpeg) ![_DSC7910.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/grindle/23vsQTg7KPSS8LcKjwCNcKVdUvxQ71zsDz7Rhc2npURLQ45oR6sEvCnWD149EbEetUVoG.jpeg) ![_DSC7931.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/grindle/23vhpyicjF6FxZ7eAAgdpQfW39jTqooeKUUM1Mna1oan5Gd1AsSxgnuyL2dvkXDyM41a7.jpeg) ![dividers-08.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/grindle/23swXqJXt8Mc6TXJwmnAwmv4oMxoBwAjmvRLoXcDDUHEhxE4HEypbBti31EAuDAcFEBWt.png) **A random street market** ![_DSC7934.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/grindle/EnyvGFYYUUZJ6vyMKAyM6ch2mEJ4iXqBqhnfjVWajfeBcZNRSivQzJqtitA2GvVdud2.jpeg) ![_DSC7928a.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/grindle/23uQpH2ZvcHc3YL7h155ctpCCpxL1WnZCgQaRt3DAGPHmV9Mxj58LSnLsc5AU24AW2XYU.jpeg) ![_DSC7928b.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/grindle/23w2gpeUpmYJ1TmTipQdriyYqBL9HfrXrCQ6zajoxzUo2sJbwnzBocZefRymP7x644vAs.jpeg) I'm in love!
