Thank you Emily. It's just so fucking exhausting, but onward we go. I find it particularly difficult when I see and hear women perpetuating this culture, and I do wonder how much schools can do when I see evidence of rape culture amongst teachers and school leadership, and of course the wider community. But the alternative (giving in) isn't an option, so please keep reminding us and firing us up! PS Have you read "Sprigs" by Brannivan Gnanalingam? Intense, heart-breaking and so raw. I think it's meant to be satire but it rang so true for me.

Thank you Anna. I’m so with you. It stings so much more when it’s a woman saying it. I am a huge fan of Brannivan’s writing and I can’t wait to read Sprigs.

Thanks for being so eloquent on this topic Emily. You're right, we have to keep going because so far this shit is still normal. I have to hope we can change and our kids will be free from it
