0:00.0 | In July of 2018, Australian actress and comedian Euritacy Dixon was raped and murdered. |
0:15.6 | She had been walking home from a performance at Melbourne's Highlander Bar on the evening |
0:19.6 | of June 13th, and was attacked |
0:21.9 | at Prince's Park that evening by 19-year-old James Todd, who was believed to have been stalking |
0:27.7 | her to this isolated location. |
0:29.8 | Dixon's body was found in the park the next day, starting a very high-profile investigation |

1:23.8 | Australian human rights advocate Con Carapano Geotides would publish a post on social media that read, |
1:29.2 | I could only imagine the rage and fear women feel to see women die doing mundane things like walking home, |
1:36.2 | only to then be told it's their fault and they need to be more careful. |
1:41.1 | Then, spaced out, as if to drive the point home, Con wrote, Stop Blaming Women, Make Men |
1:47.5 | the issue. This post would be shared by thousands of people throughout the world, including |
