Such a good article from two fine and insightful young men. If only they were given as public a platform as the current dreary crop of misogynists, porn advocates, fetishists and abusers that politicians, the media and our public services (including the police) currently fund and fawn over.

Really good article about how we need to talk about this more

When a bomb goes off, the media talk about terrorism in general. But when a domestic homicide happens, the media rarely mention domestic abuse.

Abuse is a societal problem an order of magnitude more dangerous than terrorism. Over one hundred women are killed by partners or ex-partners each year. It took terrorist between 2006 and 2018 to kill one hundred people. The greatest terrorism is gender based, not religious or ethnic.

It's depressing how much more powerful men's voices are

This is a male issue, caused by men, mostly ignored by men. It's a time powerful male voices are warranted. The female victims have already been silenced. Angry

Very clear and powerful. It's depressing how much more powerful men's voices are, but we need men like these two brothers to speak up.
