@rush 100% - fear is a prison constructed carefully over time by the abuser as another weapon of compliance and control

Putting aside the horrendous sexist, hateful, controlling and disturbing aspects of his message that other commenters have pointed out so well… 


Catholic universities should not be taking money from female students if they  are endorsing (by virtue of this invited speaker) that their career path is a homemaker and mother. Education is suppose to uplift the whole of society, it is not a finishing school for future wives and mothers. Hypocrisy at its finest.

Sounds like there are bigger issues at play here tbh with ring-gate being a symptom of a problem

@chrissyinthemiddle it’s excellent he is using the privilege of people listening when he speaks, in part due to his sex. I wonder if his (awful) experiences have made him more aware of the potential frustration/disappointment some female victims may feel at his words being received better than theirs.. Imo it’s a lovely a respectful acknowledgment as an ally in the horrendous crisis.

The phone bags are great too, provide protection for you phone and several have a little pocket for keys, credit cards etc

Thanks for covering this, a real and impactful issue for those being stalked at their families. The structural and social barrier as outlined in the article require an overhaul. Great to hear about the pilot in Vic - however they also need to review the fact you need the perpetrators HOME ADDRESS to register a stalker beggars belief. This poor woman who was taken too soon. More needs to be done.

Hilarious and love that you couldn’t help yourself by giving a number at the end 😂

I suspect this wouldn’t have happened to a man. This is akin to sexualisation of violence to females. Not to mention the objectification. Sigh!!!

This is awesome. Now I have to train the dogs to fill up their baskets ..

Never ceases to amaze me how little empathy people have. It not as though the crying is deliberate as a weird sadistic kick. Part of being in society is accepting that sometimes how other people in our community are kind of annoying at times and instead of blaming them,  try and understand their situation and if we can do anything to help.

The vaping crisis wasn’t an accident - it was a well engineered marketing campaign. The framing of tobacco use sounds like public health folk have dropped the ball on tobacco harm messaging- that simply isn’t true. The multibillion dollar tobacco industry used their numerous lobbying tricks to exploit policy loopholes and drive demand in younger people. Due to significant, consistent advocacy by public health professionals and organisations unlicensed vapes are now banned. Please be mindful of framing when summarising these issues. There are many well paid “bad actors” that we need to call out.

Thanks you for sharing your story of coercive control, the strategic steps they take and the practice they have to escalate control quickly. I am sorry you have experienced this and wish you a peaceful and fulfilled life with your child.

Great example about the positive power of social media. Horrible it happened but great her fans had her back

Great, another way girls and women can be essentially erased. Sigh!!

Horrifying. Why are our justice systems do broken?

Thank you for continuing to cover this endemic and for honouring Lilie’s life

Dance like no one is watching!

Absolutely hilarious and relatable

Character references from those NOT potential victims are irrelevant. several ex girl friends or lovers who had consensual encounters would be better evidence.

Adjacent to this but has anyone else noticed the creepy amount of matching outfits they had when dating? But of a red flag…
