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????
