Building an interesting life is worth the effort. Develop your skills. Take your career seriously. Learn to manage money. Travel when you can. Maintain friendships. Try things that scare you. An interesting life rarely arrives on its own. Give yourself more possibilities.
In 2024, a reality television contestant was disqualified following a recorded conversation involving sexually inappropriate remarks about intoxicated women. The broadcaster acknowledged the seriousness of the incident. Yet he was subsequently welcomed back onto national television.
What I find particularly revealing is that recordings also exist of him confidently declaring that he would win. He did not win, but he finished in the top three.
I find it profoundly disturbing that I have spent much of today witnessing people defend or minimise conduct of this nature. The extent to which some are willing to rationalise it raises questions far more troubling than the incident itself.
So I ask, without fear of contradiction: How seriously are we, as a society, committed to fighting gender-based violence when our standards of accountability appear so inconsistently applied?
South Africa speaks passionately about fighting gender-based violence, yet I find myself increasingly fascinated by the leniency we afford men when their conduct raises serious questions about womenโs safety.
