On Violence by Natasha Stott Despoja
5.0
God, this essay made me so angry. I underlined almost every second line. I will now proceed to lend this to every person I know - particularly the men in my life who say they feel 'undereducated' on the subject, and don't know where to start.
Stott Despoja's refreshingly intersectional take on the national epidemic that is violence against women in Australia is heartbreaking but important. With discussions ranging from how stereotyped gender roles affect children, to a heartbreaking list of statistics and commentary on Destroy The Joint's 'Counting Dead Women' initiative, this is a must read for any Australian looking to become better informed about this horrific national emergency.
