2. If you aren't a feminist theorist or writer or reader, it is easy to miss how far back &how widely spread t discountng of women's experience is, in deference to men's. Seeing ths breadth is hard, gut-wrenchng. But SEEING it helped me make sense.I was more effective w/ my rage.

We’re reminded in the murder of Sarah Everard & now #SabinaNessa, that safety is not a right afforded to all, it is a privilege.

A vigil has now been called to honour Sabina’s life, in solidarity against this violence.
