The framing of murder suicides as "tragic" is wrong to me. She didn't accidentally die she was murdered by her husband who committed an awful crime and then took his own life. Why? I don't know but it wasn't accidental AFAIK.

Advising people to go to charity shops is pointless please stop it, we already know they exist and have been using them since forever. Poor people already know all of the ways around shit until they hit a brick wall, they aren't looking for advice. They are looking for change.

@Chvmps1 @reeces Its a choice when men don't take equal time off to look after the people they created. It's a choice to vote for people who don't want to institute parental leave. It's a choice not to wear a condom and complain when the enviable happens.

@JohnBoyneBooks Anyone who asks or demands a definition of woman should be treated with suspicion and hostility, anyone attempting to put us into biologically determined boxes as a definition should be regarded as a tool of the patriarchy that oppresses us and others.

I don't know any woman who hasn't been attacked in some way somewhere. And anyone who has actually spoken to thier mothers and grandmothers know there was no golden age. There was always "if you get attacked its your fault you shouldn't have gone out" for centuries.
