I say this a lot, but we've got 97% of women saying they've experienced harassment and 100% of men saying "it wasn't me."

Something doesn't add up.

There are more legal protections for women against male violence now than there have been at any other point in history. But it keeps happening - both in the home, and on the streets. We've got to ask what we're doing as a society to pass the problem on down the generations.

There's a social consensus that violence against women is wrong - again, probably a stronger one than at any other point in our history. But that consensus is limited in its ability to change people's behaviour, to prevent violence by addressing the source of it.

I get that men want to distance themselves from perpetrators of violence by pointing out that it's the minority of men. But while that's true, it's the majority of women who are constantly adapting their own behaviour to keep themselves safe, and even then it's not guaranteed.

Men saying they condemn predatory individuals simply isn't enough. When we focus on individuals, we don't talk about the collective responsibilities to prevent and address male violence.

Thinking about how we as a culture reproduce violence, and create positions of structural vulnerability, is much harder to do. But we have to stop thinking of violence against women simply being women's issue to solve. It's a male problem.
