Again, I'm not saying that murder isn't horrific, just that something which affects less than 0.01% of the female population isn't a huge feminist crisis.
Did you read the case in Wales the other week? The one where South Wales police repeatedly let down a woman who was being tortured (their words, not my hyperbole) by her partner? He was hitting her with a hammer, and pinning her arms under a sofa to jump on her pregnant stomach. And many other, awful and sustained acts of cruelty. She’s lucky to be alive.
Anyway they basically left her there, repeatedly, with this man, didn’t interview her alone even though she was clearly seriously injured. They apologised for bothering her partner though.
Why am I asking and telling you this? Well it’s important because every woman’s life is important. It’s also important because it shows the frankly shocking systemic disregard of violence against women.
There are clear DV procedures in place for the police. They were not followed. Not by a single rogue officer, but by a series of them.
Because people have attitudes like the one you’ve expressed.
He got five years by the way for nearly killing her. He’ll be out soon and free to do it to another woman. Will the police and other systems protect that woman? Not if they don’t understand that violence against women is endemic, and a massive issue.
