Hi guys,

i am so sure i am not alone in this sentiment;-

I am TERRIFIED of men. Gender based violence is rife and rising and as a young woman i live in fear for my life, to put it plainly, because the chance i will become a victim of violence at the hands of a man seems almost certain.

i am already a victim of abuse. 97% of women report that they have been victims of sexual harassment or assault. all of my close friends are victims of abuse, rape, assault, or harassment. Something has to change and this starts by talking about it.

This episode i discuss the recent discourse surrounding femicide, gender-based violence, toxic masculinity, the patriarchy, the lot. And i am really only talking about the UK, a fairly progressive country, let alone the rest of the world.

If you are in danger or worried for the safety of yourself or others, please reach out. Female livelihood is in danger, safety is a basic human right.

G xx
