Because words today are cheap and infinitely produced, they are detritus, signifying little, meaning less. Disorientation by replication and spam is the norm. Notions of the authentic or original are increasingly untraceable. Words today are bubbles, shape-shifters, empty signifiers, floating on the invisibility of the network. Digital text is the body-double of print, the ghost in the machine. The ghost has become more useful than the real; if we can’t download it, it doesn’t exist. Words are additive, they pile up endlessly, become undifferentiated, shattered into shards now, words reform into language-constellations later, only to be blown apart once more.

Femicide or feminicide is a hate crime broadly defined as "the intentional killing of women or girls because they are female," though definitions vary depending on cultural context. Feminist author Diana E. H. Russell first defined the term in 1976 as "the killing of females by males because they are female." Others include the killing of females by females.

Intimate partner violence affects 3 in 10 women over a lifetime. It is estimated that 13.5% of homicides globally involve intimate partners.

Opponents argue that since over 80% of all murder victims are men, the term places too much emphasis on the murder of females. However, a partner is responsible in almost 40% of homicides involving a female victim, compared with 6% for homicides involving a male victim. In addition, femicide may be underreported.

Misogyny is usually associated with men who hate women. But some women also hate women. The objects of their hate can be mothers, sisters, daughters or rivals. But the most common object of their hate is themselves. Depression, self-harm, eating disorders, excessive drinking, drug taking, even addiction to plastic surgery are often manifestations of self-hatred.

compile a haiku about selfhate

I hate myself

For all of my flaws and mistakes

I wish I could die now

add a smoothie to the haiku

I hate myself

For all of my flaws and mistakes

I wish I could die

But first, I'll have a smoothie
