All the men who enabled him, who acted as his "pr adviser" who saw him as hot property, who protected him, who played with him, who enabled him, who saw nothing wrong in playing with a bloke like him

You are the definition of rape culture

That's it. That's exactly what it is

@callapilla I sent you a message yesterday about it and I’m concerned that the article hasn’t yet been updated.

[Wildly Parenthetical 🌈 @WildlyP]

3 women have been killed in Ballarat this year, but the media coverage keeps forgetting one of them. Her name was Rebecca Young. She was murdered by her ex in front of her kids. Why is she forgotten? Are we still playing respectability politics with women’s deaths? @GuardianAus

[Wildly Parenthetical 🌈 @WildlyP]

Deeply concerned to see this piece, like so many others, ‘forget’ the murder of Rebecca Young last month.

[Wildly Parenthetical 🌈 @WildlyP]

@dellavee @GuardianAus There have been three murders. Let’s not get into respectability politics when it comes to men’s violence against women, hmm?

@AncestressEra Oh god I'm trying to pick a school for my 5yo and this is TOO REAL.

@AdriaCarmichael Well, my fantasy book has some f words! It's first person, she's a sellsword, & she's having a *very* bad day. Attacked by brigands, survives but accidentally hatches a dragon, & then encounters her hated ex while trying to work out what to do about the dragon. I think fuck fits!

@crikey_news Here's the shitty part: "the notion of public space ceasing to be a neutral one where the continent behaviour of the citizen is assumed, and immoral or criminal behaviour is the exception," bears no resemblance to public space as experienced by any minority - hence the signs.

@missrobinson @billshortenmp And I had to 'approve' her doing so. This is where 'mother' gets you: one's the mother and the other is the random hanger-on. Unacceptable and homophobic.

[Wildly Parenthetical 🌈 @WildlyP]

@missrobinson @billshortenmp Yep. My partner was treated as 'donating' milk to her own child because the hospital's policies acknowledged only one parent with lactating capacity. 😡

[Wildly Parenthetical 🌈 @WildlyP]

@RobertB24039377 @Clementine_Ja @qewperp In the context of health conditions, this refusal is understood to be family violence.

[Wildly Parenthetical 🌈 @WildlyP]

@billshortenmp Epic fail, Bill. I say this as a mother with a partner who wound up significantly disadvantaged because hospital policy couldn't grok two women having a child. So you're entrenching homophobia and transphobia, both at once. Hint: if Deves thinks it's good, you've gone wrong.

[Wildly Parenthetical 🌈 @WildlyP]

@Political114 @Ben_Mc1 @PeterCronau @billshortenmp @davidbewart That's inaccurate though. When two women are having a child together, only one is the gestational/birthing parent. Probably important for the hospital to know which, right?

[Sophie Trevitt @SophieTrevitt]

I am honestly stunned on the eve of an election the government has announced a budget CUT in real terms to Aboriginal legal services and Aboriginal family violence prevention and legal services. So much for promises to close the gap and to do things differently #Budget2022

@bluntshovels <3 So sorry lovely. I hope it settles.

[Wildly Parenthetical 🌈 @WildlyP]

@alfredthegrater @UnaMcIlvenna @UniMelb Yes, I discovered after I left that I was the reason many of my students went on to do further study. The commitment of sessional teachers is extraordinary and often life-changing for their students, and utterly obscured by the institution.
