It will be interesting to see the outcome of this case, especially as the suspect involved has been released with no charges, at this point in time. 

He'll probably claim she was a delusional female, on drugs, who did a stupid thing and he was "No Way Involved."
Woman don't generally charge through closed glass sliding doors, during a DV incident, without good cause. She was undoubtedly scared beyond rationale thinking in a flight response. 
Change needs to happen at all levels of society.  Men need to be held accountable for their lack of anger management and rationale control.

Everytime I hear about these domestic violence murders I am enraged and triggered. 

Louise seemed like a lovely, outgoing, contributing member of the community and her life was "snuffed" out by her husband.
Was Louise's act of volunteering at Protea Place, a hidden call for help, that was not recognised or heeded by those with whom she worked?
The DV problem we are facing is not new. It stems from eons of the entrenched entitlement of men to covet and "own" their woman.
Only overt systemic change at every level of society, religion and politics will break this trend.

 I'm 57 and people often remark on my skin as "glowing" and not having wrinkles. No face lift or Botox. My skin-care arsenal includes;
- Vitamin C serum
- Prescription strength Retinoid cream
- Glycolic acid toner
- John Plunkett Super-fade
- SPF 50+ sunscreen 
- Natural oil moisturisers, Rosehip, Jojaba, Tamu, etc
- Lanolin and pawpaw cream, to prevent trans-epidermal water loss.

Another example of the mansplaining and dismissal of women health and their pain, by the male dominated sphere of western medicine.
A bias demonstrated in innumerable media stories and peer-reviewed journal articles. 
At 52, after 15 years of severe menorrhagia, I was diagnosed with adenomyosis and fibroids. The (male) GP stated no further treatment was necessary as I would soon enter menopause and I would be a burden on the public health system, if I pursued such options.

Chloe looked beautiful on her wedding day, the response from the misogynistic troglodyte trolls, destroyed her happiness. I expect these incels are far from perfect themselves.

This behaviour is not new. At 57, I have been judged by men my entire life on my weight status. When skinny, I was attractive, when "overweight", I was fugly. 
Yet, I have always been the same person. 
I have a 25 yo daughter who is "overweight" yet has an exquisitely beautiful face. And she has never had a boyfriend. Face, body or person? It's the entire package that counts.

Marty Sheargold sounds like a misogynistic dinosaur and of the same ilk as Donald J Trump and Andrew Tate. My heart felt congratulations to all those awe-inspiring women folk who shared their endo journeys. 

The idiot is probably so uneducated and ill-informed that he doesn't comprehend or understand how normal female gynaecological anatomy works, let alone a pathological state, such as endometriosis or adenomyosis.
His initial appointment reflects badly upon the attitude of CEOs in the entertainment industry.  Who seemily share his misogynistic views.

Celebrities, despite the money and fame, are as much a human as anyone else on this planet. 


Yeah, they have bigger bank balances and more privileges, but losing a house, with all it's sentimental acrouments is as real whether you have $10.0M in the bank or $10. 

And depending upon the insurance company and their individual policies, there is no guarantee that the celebrities will receive any money whatsoever to rebuild. Which might deplete their "reserve income" leaving them in poverty.

Hi Neena,

I experienced this all through my 40's. I just couldn't find work on the Gold Coast and was a single mum with three teenage daughters. It was tough. At age 52, I moved cities and back in with my elderly parents. Thankfully, I was able to find a job with a QLD Govt affiliated MRI. It's the first working place in over 15 years where I haven't faced age discrimination. And age discrimination is very real. 

I recommend moving back with your parents (it's hard, I know), but it is better than facing homelessness, which I was facing 4 years ago, when the last of my daughters left home 
Best of luck for your future.
Kind Regards, Catherine

It's absolutely crazy. These women see a somewhat "attractive" face under the "bad boy" tattoos and think they can reform him. 

Men like this pathetic individual, are psychopaths. They have no empathy or compassion. And any kindness bestowed upon them will result in the said girl or woman being brutalised or killed. 
Unfortunately, the female of the species is wont to show compassion for such vermin. Just look at all the women who fawned after Ted Bundy.
