How long must we wait until men stop beating and murdering us, even under #COVID19 lockdown?

In my latest book #7NecessarySins for Women and Girls, the chapter on the “sin” of violence frightens people. I’m told: “Violence begets violence!” What do centuries of male violence vs women beget?

On misogynist violence and #COVID19
🎥 @rerutled

Here are the opening pages of that chapter. My book came out in Sept. 2019.

The disturbing scenarios I draw and the disturbing questions I ask in FEMINIST GIANT Dispatch ☝🏽are even more pertinent now under #COVID19 lockdown.

#7NecessarySins
People get more upset at my questions about imaginary violence vs men than they are at the REAL and DAILY violence vs women, queer people, children.

Remember this as we hear stories of women having to choose: a deadly virus outside, an abuser inside. #COVID19

How many abusive men must we kill until men stop abusing us?

My question about imaginary violence vs men upsets more the REAL & DAILY violence vs women, queer people, children.

The only form of “resistance” women are allowed to consider is anger - and even that is considered so beyond the beyond that entire books are written about it. Still - book after book is written about “women’s anger.”

FUCK THAT SHIT

What fucking world is this:
- where men still beat and kill us even during a pandemic
- how long must we wait until men stop beating and murdering us, even under #COVID19 lockdown?

There have been an av of 100 arrests per day because of “domestic abuse” in London over the past 6 weeks. Remember:
- not everyone can call the police.
- not everyone wants to call the police
- the police do not protect everyone
- I do not want to be protected. I want to be free
