It should go without saying that in the question of building a society where women are not murdered, assaulted and living in fear of men, the onus falls upon men. All men have a role to play in that.
Heart broken for the family and loved ones of Aisling Murphy today.
@markohalloran I think men need to realise that there is a connection between ‘minor’ acts of misogyny (comments, ‘jokes’, ‘lads bants’) and acts of violence. The minor acts contribute to a culture which dehumanises women and leads to us being seen as objects for the taking.

Life can be tough, but you have the power to overcome anything that comes in your way.
Smile and enjoy the process 😃

Ten years ago I met a man in his 70s on a train in Kerala. When I asked if he minded travelling alone he replied: “I’m not alone, I’m by myself.” I always remember this when I’m eating out by myself or do anything without companions. It changes everything.
