There have been 2 women killed in Australia in the past week who’ve had newborn babies. One of them is Drew Douglas (in our pic), a mother of 4 including a 4-week old infant. Nobody has been charged with her murder but her male partner is in custody. You may not be aware women are often murdered while they have young babies, and research indicates this appears to occur because such women (because of physical birth recovery issues, extreme tiredness caused by caring for a newborn, lack of attention to a male partner and/or postnatal depression) are less interested in sex at this time. We don’t have any evidence this is the case in these 2 murders, but it’s considered a common denominator in many women’s murders. The narrative that partnered women owe their male partners sex is very strong. And men who see their partners as property who owe them sex are more likely to also have violent tendencies. Finally: if you believe the current furore over Bruce Lehrmann and other high-profile reporting around sexual misconduct (such as Ben Fordham outing a victim without consent) isn’t relevant to the rise of sexual violence, you’re fucking dreaming. Because while no direct link can be drawn between women’s murders and the actions of high profile people, the way women such as Brittany Higgins are now demeaned, called liars and/or otherwise disrespected by Channel 7, 2GB, Newscorp and other media companies appears certain to contribute to how already-violent men feel emboldened to further control their own partners. We believe (and have often stated) this protection of men by these organisations appears deliberate. People like Kerry Stokes, Peter Costello, Rupert Murdoch and their craven enablers elsewhere want women silenced forever lest they “get the upper hand” following the #MeToo  movement, particularly within their own media orgs which have all been tainted multiple times in the past by sexual allegations. So if you ever wonder why our campaigns mean so much to us and so many women, wonder no more. It’s all intertwined, and all a total fucking disgrace. Vale, Drew. We are so terribly sorry for you and for your children. #SevenSucks #BinBen #NewsCorpse
