The Origins of Love & Violence And The Developing Human Brain
A conversation with Michael Mendizza
mm: If there were one thing that you could do to reduce violence, what would it be?
JWP: There are two fundamental issues. One is the issue of the bonded and unbonded child. The other is full gender equality. Until women are able to control their own body, and not just reproduction but the whole spectrum of her sexuality, it will be very difficult to achieve the first step which is the bonded child. Just look at all the violence against women, the rapes, domestic violence, battered women, it’s epidemic, as is child abuse and neglect.
