Speers seems unaware that the vast majority of sex offenders are known to their victims #QandA

discussion of vague random fears about internet sex offenders are a safe place for white male journalists and pleece.

apparently we are going to talk about housing later. Sure, David. In fact, safe affordable housing for women and children, with income security and counselling and legal support, is what we need. Women can take it from there thanks.

what Speers and Reece will never concede - so they are wholly unfit for purpose here - is that their equivocation and obscurantism and normalisation are a massive part of the problem.

they can not even name colonialism and patriarchy, the central organising systems of our society. This shitshow is worse than useless. It creates the false impression that our federal government gives a flying fuck about women and children, anywhere, here or there. They don’t.

lmao a mediocre white male claiming that women “earn” less than men. No, David. Women work much harder than males mate. We ARE PAID less than men. The reason is that patriarchy refuses to value what women do. You’re welcome.

honestly. He knows exactly nothing about male violence. Or colonial violence. Or homelessness. Poverty. Nothing. And he is hosting a show on the public broadcaster on the things he knows exactly nothing about. Hello, imperial white patriarchy. This is how you operate.

here’s a tip, men. Stop being violent.

Grace Tame: sexism is taught👏🏼👏🏼

regular reminder that patriarchy is 6-10,000 years old. Colonial violence is upwards of 500 years old. But here. Where we live. An incredible fact: patriarchy and colonial violence have only been here for 250 years.

now Speers is all over the airwaves like a cheap suit telling ABC radio hosts “what really matters is the new national plan”. Why? Male violence has skyrocketed during the current “national plan to reduce violence against women and children”, making it an unmitigated failure.

maybe producing national plans to “reduce [agentless, generic] violence against women and children” does more to keep men like Speers and Morrison in their cushy, overpaid jobs than to stop men being violent against women and children.
