I wondered whether, it seems like, I mean us women have been talking about this for

years and no one seems to be listening so I wondered whether it's time for

you guys to stand up and speak up and speak loudly and I think sometimes men don't

think about what it's like to walk in the shoes of a woman.

So I'm thinking if you read out the thoughts that I wrote down,

I don't know if it might mean more people will listen,

or if it might just give a different perspective about what it feels like to be a

woman in this country at the moment.

I will happily stand by your side rage with you to whatever you need.

It's taken me days to work out what to say about the crisis that our country is in at the moment.

Not because I don't have things to say about the abhorrent number of women dying every week in our country by the hands of a man, but because I no longer know what to say because it feels like we are yelling into the abyss. We are exhausted.

Not only do we have to spend our life planning what time of the day to run what road to walk down what clothes not to wear what carriage of the train to get on which hand to carry our keys in not only do we have to sleep in fear of a possible man outside or the man inside or the

taxi driver the Uber driver a former partner the current partner a man we've never

met we now have to be the ones to fix the issue too.

No not all men and monsters but we live in fear of the ones that are. We change our behavior to

account for the bad men not the good ones because the risk is too high for us not to.
