Violence by men is taken seriously only when it’s directed against other men. Against women & at home?

The man who carried out #Canada’s worst mass shooting had been abusing his girlfriend. When alerted of that, the police didn’t care.

And that’s why I made this latest FEMINIST GIANT Dispatch from the Pandemic. To ask: what fucking world is this?

🎥 @rerutled

Remember:
- not everyone can call the police.

- not everyone wants to call the police.

- the police do not protect everyone: ask Indigenous women, Black women, women of colour, marginalized women, sex workers, etc

- I do not want to be protected. I want to be free of violence
My next book will be titled:

WHAT FUCKING WORLD IS THIS?
If violence if the language that patriarchy understands, isn’t it time more women to speak it, if only for their own safety?

My FEMINIST GIANT Dispatch on Femicide draws on the chapter on the “sin” of Violence in The Seven Necessary Sins For Women and Girls. 👇🏽
