Global far right power grab, remember? Misogyny and racism are major security flaws, remember? This is what I meant.
This is part of the response to the murder of a young woman, Sarah Everard, allegedly by a member of the Metropolitan Police Department. He dumped her body in Kent. A feminicide.
Mourners held a vigil for her over the weekend and this is what police did.

But don't worry, police were very worried about the safety... of a statue of Winston Churchill. thelondoneconomic.com/news/protect-c…
That's just one country. Look at what's going on in Mexico. Canada. Australia. Brazil. Poland. Hungary. India. The United States - which is trying to pull back from the brink, at least. Fascism is toxic masculinity first and always.

A bunch of citations to follow. First, the rape scandals currently unfolding in Australia, complete with veiled and not-so-veiled physical threats against protesters: theguardian.com/australia-news…

India's struggle and counterpush looks a little different, but I s see it as still part of that same power grab theconversation.com/women-grow-as-…
And as for Canada, I'm seeing shit like this here and there, but more stories like this in 2021 than I have seen since maybe 2013 or so. But this is exactly how it starts, just ask the USA
