Further to my previous post. And no one is surprised.

Being told at 12yo, after being groped: ‘Don’t walk out there by yourself, that’s how men behave toward girls when they’re drunk’.

The local footy club, the ‘beating heart of the community’, as the incubator & enabler of misogyny in the town.

Not just toward women. Toward children.

Kids learn. You’re a ‘good girl’ (an impossible ideal) or you’re a slut & had it coming. If you’re an alpha male you get away with anything.

Generations of normal. This is not a bad apple problem.

And we see the #Epstein shit show as an outlier? #YeahRight
