Tokenism. Let’s call it what it is, violence against women. Yes, I’m aware of violence from women against women and gay men against gay men. But let’s not get distracted by that. Violence never solves things. #QldPol

Thinking of Helen Haines and all women who have endured male violence, threats or misogynistic words. I’ve been feeling a grief I know many women are feeling at the moment, not only because of the attack on Helen Haines but after all the awful attacks reported recently.
