How many men must we kill until men stop raping us? I will continue asking that question. It ignited a firestorm after I asked it on #qanda on Australian TV & I will keep on asking it. Half of rape victims drop out of cases even after suspect is identified theguardian.com/society/2019/n…
On that #qanda episode and in my book I quote feminist psychiatrist Judith Herman: “The legal system was designed to protect men from the superior power of the state but not to protect women and children from the superior power of men.”
And I will keep on asking that question until there is more outrage at the second half of my question as there is at the first half.
Until there is MORE outrage at ACTUAL DAILY violence against women and gender diverse people as there is at HYPOTHETICAL violence against men, nothing will change. Fuck the patriarchy. Fuck caring more about men’s fear of hypothetical violence than women’s fear of actual violence
