Does your contempt for women have anything to do with your addiction to them and the fact that a pretty one can drag you around by the short hairs indefinitely?
Might want to consider redirecting your ire to some of the school districts who have banned books like the Mary O'Hara's Wyoming trilogy - most are only familiar with the first one,
My Friend Flicka. Don't even try to judge it by either of the sappy movies.
Let's see - in that one, we have a vivid description of gelding (from which one horse dies), a cougar killing a cow (twists its head around until the muzzle is pointing upward), a horse caught in barbed wire....
Thunderhead gets better with the title horse killing its grandsire, the "blood and brains mingling with the earth of his beloved valley"....and
Green Grass of Wyoming with Pilgrim the dog getting gored to death by a bull - just a few occurences of animal-related violence in these books. Not hokey plot devices; all part and parcel of life on a half-wild Wyoming ranch. I read these in 4th grade, and now the Bubble Wrap Committee says these books are unsuitable for anyone under 14 - feh!!!
