WATCH EMER'S SHOW TONIGHT THANK YOU PLEASE.
KAREN PIRIE. 8PM. @ITV.
The Sunday Times describe it as 'modern and vital'.
Heat Magazine reckon it's 'a truly exceptional example of the TV crime drama'.
WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT??
@easyJet how can you cancel flights with 5 hours notice in the middle of the night at 2am?! And then not even offer any alternative flights for that day, or even that weekend 😩 the taxi was waiting outside when I checked my email..
starting 2022 with emergency surgery when two days ago I hadn’t even had a blood test.. feel like Ross from friends when he says “ I DO HAVE A NEWFOUND RESPECT FOR LIFE”
Oh another thing, women are the best at improv because often they’ve had to make up an entire boyfriend out of thin air because sometimes it’s the only thing that men will hear if you’ve been trying to say No
Men can never understand how frightening it can be just to be *outside* as a woman, how we constantly unthinkingly tuck ourselves in and adjust and conceal and hold our breath and hang back and it still can never be enough
All these women tweeting angrily tonight about male violence are not personally attacking you; they’re talking about a massive longstanding societal issue which it is on all of us to solve. Bye!
This Sarah Everard situation is really scaring me, because she literally spoke to her bf on the phone, wore really bright clothing, walked on a main road, was outside before 12am, and she still got killed? Do you know how scary as a woman it is to know that?
I am 45 and it is 2021 and I am essentially under a curfew. Like all women. And there are absolutely no exit plans for this. It's just presumed women will stay home when it's dark ... forever.
You’re a grown woman and in no other area of your life do you feel so vulnerable. You resent it even though you understand there is a risk - however small. It is frustrating and tiring and constant. And yet sometimes, despite all those calculations, it still isn’t enough.
Even being on the phone has downsides. One eye is always on the person in front or behind - would they help me, might they be a threat? Should I cross the road, would that make it worse? Are there lights on in any of these houses if I need to pretend this is where I live?
Tell friends ‘it’s fine, it’s just around the corner, I’ll text when I’m back’ …but still we make a plan - Keys gripped between fingers we map the corner shops we could duck into en-route. Swap shoes for trainers in case we need to run. Keep our music low or turned off.
