I read this yesterday and haven’t been able to get it out of my head since.

What sort of man could abuse women like this? Leave them bleeding and covered in bruises and not care? She says she had up to 20 men a day for 9 months.... that’s 5,400 men (give or take)

I just can’t get my head around it.

Nor the way she was treated by the police. Or the pathetic sentence that her captures received!!!!

I read on a thread on MN a year or so ago talking about how the patriarchy tries to suppress the true extent of male violence. That news stories always talk about “perpetrators” rather than naming the problem “male violence”.

So every news story I’ve seen since that day I’ve mentally named it to myself as male violence and goodness me it’s everywhere. And you can see how news organisations, the police, the government, the patriarchy do not name the problem intentionally. How most laws are written by men for the benefit of men.

It’s like the wool has fallen from my eyes and once you see it you can’t un-see it.

How do we raise the next generation of boys and men to be different????

Dworkin warned us that porn is the theory and rape the practice.
These are the ordinary punters who consider themselves nice guys who also just happen to believe that this rape torture and abuse is what women are for.

I read it too - absolutely horrible. And the police who fined her then sent her back to her traffickers - WTAF? Thank god she eventually found more sympathetic police in Northern Ireland.

And the punters who knew she was trafficked and didn't give a shit. Together with the level of mafia-type control over everyone around her - that her mother had to pretend she was consenting and therefore "dead to her", to avoid the threat of violence and death herself.

I read this and just despaired. All those punters knew she was trafficked surely - a woman covered in bruises? The men who drive demand for this trade need to be prosecuted.

I read that story and wanted to start a thread about it. But it just seemed too horrible. I don't want it to have been true.
That poor poor woman.

Those absolutely sick evil men.

Horrendous.

And to be prosecuted when raided just to be reacaptured! I can't imagine how she's survived it.
