the amazing woman who supported me; not only did she alert me to what he was doing in case I was leaving at that stop, but she stayed with me until I left. She told me she was ready to support me further if needed.
She also told me she has before had a similar experience /2
Yday a man followed me along the Victoria line, sat next to me on a packed tube & pretended to fall asleep on my shoulder multiple times. When he got off at Blackhorse Road he stared me down as I was still sat in the tube, mouthing for me to join him.
I am beyond grateful to /1
Never forget that beneath this shitshow of toxic masculinity currently playing out in our courts is the >alleged< rape, abuse and vilification of a young woman. She continues to pay the price for speaking up #BruceLehrmann
A bin. She was dumped in a bin.
Police are investigating the suspicious death of a woman at Buckley, Victoria. Her body was found today, with multiple media outlets saying she was in a dumped in a bin and may have been there for some time. There's no indication of who ended her life. Needless to say, another woman is dead and that's just fucking sad and shitty.
Her's is the third femicide investigation in March. She is the 18th woman killed in 2024. ❤️
According to @VictoriaPolice the two most dangerous nights of the year for women in Australia are:
1. New Years Eve
2. Night of the #AFLGrandFinal
This tells us something deeply disturbing about our culture, masculinity and male entitlement. #AFLGF Need help 👇🏼 if urgent 000
@adamliaw Fixed it: Reminder that the AFL Grand Final is held at the MCG because of size & tradition & because 70% of tickets are for sponsors, corporates and political connections. Victoria, like all of Aus, operates under a weird sport-politico-industrial complex that is utterly absurd.
I spoke to a bunch of women in comedy - @DemiLardner@angelavoipierre@jennaown and Gen Fricker - about what the scene is like, and: it’s not great! https://t.co/OuRXAtGRV8
Hey, peeps? Just checking in to say that even the most prolific of serial rapists don’t rape every single woman they meet, so if you’re saying “I met/dated Russell Brand and he didn’t rape me so I don’t find this credible” have you considered that your point is ridiculous
NO women DO NOT have a high threshold to pain. This is gender essentialism. This is a toxic myth that makes women believe they should be able to bear more pain and not complain and they don’t. It is such a bizarre paradox where medical professionals believe that women can and should be able to bear pain and so not offered pain relief or sedatives during procedures, but also that women over-react and so when women say 8 on pain scale they assume it is prob around 3 or 4. No-win situation.
