When I asked on an Australian TV show “How many rapists must we kill until men stop raping women,” the episode was banned from ever being re-broadcast because the thought of women’s violence against men in self-defense generates more outrage than men’s violence against women.
“How many rapists must we kill before men stop raping us?”- an imaginary scenario of violence. The ABC network censored the show, investigated, a minister issued a statement

When I talk about imaginary violence against men, everyone’s like, 'Oh, my God! Mona wants us to kill men,' and I’m just asking you to imagine a scenario that is the daily reality for women everywhere.
It was cowardly capitulation by the ABC which privileged the fragile sensibilities of white men over the wellbeing & safety of women.
This is what drove #Australian white men hysterical: I asked “How long must we wait for men and boys to stop murdering us, to stop beating us and to stop raping us? How many rapists must we kill?"
What does that say about patriarchy, who has the right to be violence, justice?
