There has recently been a popular fan page circulating on Facebook called "Hitting Women." The page has over 500 fans and is going strong. Facebook should be used as a safe, and friendly medium to interact with others and express different opinions without threat. This fan page is full of horrible jokes about beating women, hating women and generally hurting women. The page seems to be most appealing to adolescents and even young women. Women are beaten, raped and killed daily and this is not something to be laughed at, encouraged or taken lightly. Signing this petition shows you care about a woman's right to be treated like a human being. Signing this proves you find injustice when people use their "free speech" to promote hatred and harm towards a specific group. Please sign this petition to get facebook to take down this page.

I am truly stunned to see that one thousand people have joined this effort to address that page. This is entirely your doing and seeing this number makes me realize how many of us share this concern.

I logged on to find that over one hundred people have signed this and I am honestly shocked. This is entirely due to the kindness of strangers who refuse to accept such content online. Thank you for proving that this matters.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many of you have stepped up to call out this cruelty. We are nearly at one hundred signatures and I truly believe this momentum belongs to you. Please consider sending the link to a few people today so we can reach this milestone together.

This is completely sick. How is this allowed to stay up? My daughter is on that site and she doesnt need to see this garbage.

There is a huge difference between free speech and inciting violence. Get this off the internet immediately.

Fb needs to do better at filtering this stuff out. It really isnt funny at all.
