Fix the System, Not the Women | Laura Bates

ChaoticMissAdventures This!! What a great quote. I don't know who said it but the phrase "We need to spend less time focused on how women should prevent rape and more time teaching our boys and men not to rape" has really stuck with me. 11mo

Fix the System, Not the Women | Laura Bates

pick

I admire Laura Bates a lot, she is committed and passionate and really knows her stuff.
I feel very depressed when I read her books. I‘m 55, it genuinely feels that the patriarchy and capitalism is worse than when I was 15.
I‘ll keep on being informed and shouting out, but it‘s very depressing.

squirrelbrain I have this on Audible to listen toā€¦.sometime! 13mo

TrishB Yes, sometime. It‘s not easy reading/listening. 13mo

Bookwormjillk It feels like we‘re going backwards 13mo

Lindy If we keep standing up for ourselves and each other, I believe the system will crumble. 13mo

KathyWheeler I‘m 65, and I agree with you. It feels much worse than when I was 15. 13mo

Cazxxx I‘m 47 and feel the same, things are going backwards rather than progressing š” 13mo

CarolynM I think there is progress being made, in this country anyway, but it doesn‘t always feel that way. And when I see some of the stuff going on elsewhere I‘m reminded how fragile that progress can be.ā¹ļø¸ 13mo

TrishB @Lindy @CarolynM I‘m genuinely glad there is some positivity- and you are from countries I look to in hope. š¤˛š¸» 13mo

TrishB @Bookwormjillk @sarahbarnes @KathyWheeler @Cazxxx it certainly feels like we‘re going backwards in the U.K. 13mo

Bookwomble The stronger the groundswell of change, the greater the reactionary pushback, but they can't hold back the incoming tide ā 13mo

TrishB @Bookwomble I hope not! 13mo
