21 women in #Australia have been killed by a violent act in the 21 weeks since 2019 began. And yet a parliamentary inquiry into domestic & family violence was abruptly ended, without seeking any submissions or holding public hearings google.com/amp/s/amp.theg…

No wonder that a TV episode was pulled off the air - in the ostensible democracy #Australia in 2019 - after 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?"
The minister for communications issued a statement. White Australian men went hysterical. I was accused of “inciting violence” and told “violence begets violence.” The episode was banned & no one wants to answer what centuries of male violence beget.
It is more convenient to ban us mouthy feminists than to acknowledge this truth: The legal system is designed to protect men from the superior power of the state but not to protect women or children from the superior power of men - Judith Herman
