“Again, not every spurned man will respond to his own unexamined rage by grabbing a gun or a knife or even just a well-organised online harassment squad and slaying whichever women has pissed him off that day. But enough of them do for us to know that it's a problem. We don't stop by isolating them from each other and passing their deeds off as a result of mental illness or depression. We understand it by recognising it as part of a culture of learned entitlement in which the logical endpoint for falling short is violence and retribution.
We change it by going back to the beginning, and starting again.”
― Boys Will Be Boys: Power, Patriarchy and the Toxic Bonds of Mateship

“They said she came from a man’s rib,
but truth runs deeper than toxic lies,
the world itself is carved from woman,
all of life is her grand design.”
