Thanks for the reminder, Mea...I'll try to pop in and see them this week. Last time I intended to donate, I'd gotten a tattoo within six months. They certainly don't muck around. My ulterior motive is because I've forgotten my blood group, and I want to carry a medic alert card in case of accidents. I'd rather not die prematurely, if I can avoid it.

A thousand thanks for the term “Shit Cunts” I’m using it quite often, not aloud, just in my head. Today when I got my electricity bill and saw they had cut my solar rebate yet again, it was there when I needed it. 😁 Perfect! - Posted from rhpmobile

Quoting 'Meander' I keep seeing ads from the Red Cross wanting more type O- blood donors (me), but they continue to exclude me because I have sex with bisexual men... Grrr. That's interesting in this day and age. Agree, thumbs down. Mine is O- too, however, they won't take mine for an entirely different reason. And still have to offload some periodically, oh well.

I only got $36 rebate for $300 bill this time. It’s a lot less than it used to be. Unit price is only .07. Can’t remember what I was originally getting but it was definatley a lot more. My bills were never over $200. Might need to look into it a bit more 😟 - Posted from rhpmobile

The day finally arrived. I rode the Harley from the bike shop! After all this time, it's been fully rebuilt in the engine and a major renovation of the rest of the bike. It's running well, there's nothing quite like the smell of a new engine. It only lasts for a few heat cycles. Yay...😁😀😜

Quoting 'The_Antichrist' Have lost their lives through domestic violence relatable incidents.... More than 1 life lost per week cos there are cunts in this world that are purely petulant fuckwits.... - Posted from rhpmobile Thanks Anti., probably comment of the year so far. Shame it should have to be so. When you are in the heat of the moment, always push the pause button on that moment for a few seconds, take time to think about the consequences of violent actions. Understand, you can't always have life go the way you want it to, that's life. It's Never acceptable to physically harm another person. Pause, Stop, Think, Back off. Violence is Never a solution. I've never understood physical violence or harm to others, I just don't understand why. Educate our children, the next generation, and act like adults. We have a brain to reason and understand, use it. Let's hope that figure doesn't increase by even one. Mr. urn. .

Quoting 'The_Antichrist' Have lost their lives through domestic violence relatable incidents.... More than 1 life lost per week cos there are cunts in this world that are purely petulant fuckwits.... I walked home from a party at midnight last week. About a 20 minute walk I was a bit tipsy. I could have been Eurydice. I thought momentarily about the danger but then I thought WHY, WHY can't I just walk home and be safe. Well I guess it could have been me? Probably it was stupid but...... but I wanted to go home and I couldn't get a lift at that time. I don't know what I'm trying to say only, that its not fair.We have to be VIGILANT, we have to be CAREFUL. we have to CHECK our surroundings and all the rest of it. How nice it would be if we could just BE.I know thats a fantasy world but anyways. Feel so sad for that poor woman to die like that alone in a park because she just wanted to walk.

.. Quoting 'curious_72' I had an ex try to kill me. The look of madness in his eyes I will never forget, they don't have the capability to stop and think all you can do is try to save yourself. If my neighbor wasn't home that day I would be another statistic. They simply have no concept or control. - Posted from rhpmobile One of the things I mentioned in my comment above, was education. Interestingly, we've been educated to modify all kinds of behaviour in recent years. And, as MFW. points out, the government, and parts of the broader community too, seem happy to spend truly wild amounts of money on things we are told are a significant threat, as a for instance. And, while there are people who find it acceptable for to people to fight in a ring, or a fight with a few fists thrown to break out at a weekend football match, yeah, it's that little bit more difficult to bring about change of behaviour, change of reaction. I think we've come a little further along than the nineties, oh, genetics or a so called "bad" home remove blame and responsibility from the perpetrator to the victim, haven't we? .. And like, what would I know, right? I'll let you into a secret, okay, a lot of people know this, I've even talked about it on the Forums before, someone tried to kill me twice. Three other people tried too. One of them also attempted to physically permanently harm me many, many times. I've seen that look, more times than I carer to remember, shame I have no choice. Those instances all took place between the ages of six and sixteen, that's right, I was a child. There is relatively little I haven't seen in my extraordinary life. I have Never met a single person, who upon telling even part of my story haven't thought it's of that nature. .. I am glad to hear you escaped that moment. I have no idea how I did, quick mover I guess. One of those times I was within a single millimetre of losing my life. The other times there was up to a foot. Lol. .. You might be surprised to realise just how much people can be taught to react differently, upon confronting certain triggers. Of course, that education, if it begins early, is all the easier. We ALL have the opportunity to make decisions, however, we MUST understand the consequences. So, besides those with significant intellectual disability, don't jump into buying the whole, they had no choice. Stay safe and enjoy your life, you deserve to. .. EQ., we've just had this discussion with one of our children, it's ridiculous you can't just go for a stroll, walk to the car, live a normal day to day existence, without being concerned for your safety. Can only hope it is seen as a more important issue to address in the future and things change. I can't see it happening in my life unfortunately. Mr. urn. .

If my neighbor wasn't home that day I would be another statistic. They simply have no concept or control. - Posted from rhpmobile I know that feeling from both sides in one incident. After being abused verbally all day I was punched in the throat.. (pretty easy way to kill someone). I guess calmly trying to mind my own business was some sort of provocation. After the blow landed it was like a switch flipped and I did see the world through a red lense.. held her wrists and all these awful things going through my head of what I was going to do to her. I'm so happy I snapped out of it before I acted. Packed my shit and got out of there.. that was too close. She wasn't worth jail. I haven't had any issues since. Just one miserable horrid person I used to know. Our son also wants nothing to do with her anymore.. all her own doing. I believe she is out of jail again recently... Perth lads look out! I feel for those that cannot defend themselves and have stepped in where I must. Mr Urn, Curious, I am glad both of you did survive your ordeals. Quoting 'MFW_23' Look at how many women have died from violence in Australia. Compare that number to how many people have died from 'terrorist' incidents in Australia. Look at the amount of government attention, money, resources, policies, laws, and speeches devoted to one versus the other. Tells you everything you need to know about how few fucks our esteemed leaders give about women in this country. I agree. Funny also how there is another terrorism control measure introduced as the current government seeks to distract from in crisis after scandal and scandal. The terrorism card they play has bugger all to do with terrorism IMO.

You can't control everyone is the problem Anti, they have to give a shit about what it is you're trying to put across. You know what I mean? For eg, I'm happy to clarify that it's been weeks since I last insisted on attempting to communicate how I feel to you and that this is actually my respect to your implication some time ago that you preferred communication from me... We don't want people thinking I'm a nag do we? The implication being that is part of where the importance of language comes into it for women. Is it ironic that the names for our body parts is 'the'swear word of swear words, followed up by slut? Words have a lot to answer for, they are far more powerful than they are given credit for. The most disturbing thing in my lifetime is the blind eye of acceptance for the mental, physical and verbal abuse I've seen towards other women and experienced myself Yeah, so anyway, as much as it sucks, as well as needing to have a different mindset towards each other in general, I see the need for building self responsibility and favour the idea of teaching us all basic stuff like assertiveness which gives off an aura that abusers avoid, choosing instead weaker characters to exploit. Same as houses or cars with weaker security are targeted. It is men who score the highest stats for homicides in Australia too, I wonder how much that's a factor. Peachy, is a slut with a cunt

So the way I see it, you have a choice....you can continue bashing your head on a brick wall with these type of “teachings” given that I’ve not responded in the way you like , in which you’ll be preaching to that same brick wall, or you can choose a much calmer path...of which is entirely up to you what calmer path it is.....

on Monday night And I don’t want to. I’d rather be doing other things but I’m Marching because we have to, for Eurydice, and for the other poor life lost, Jill Meagher and every single victim before them Enough is enough I have to March with others to show I’m angry and scared and concerned and I want my RIGHTS back, to make a statement to our government who is letting us down but our legal system even more so I don’t won’t to though cause it will be cold and dark and when I leave the March I will be apprehensive, catching a tram and then walking home but I will go because the night that Eurydice was raped and murdered it was cold, and dark but she wasn’t scared, she thought it was safe to walk home through a well known and well lit park, close to major roads at 10.30 at night. She was listening to music, she had earplugs in. She had every right to. I don’t want to March but I have to cause some fucking cunt decided that women are here just to fulfill their sickening fantasy or whatever and I will simply not accept this. No. Just NO I live in the suburb that Jill lived in and not far from where Eurydice was murdered . Could it have been me ? No. Why ?Cause I am way too scared to walk in a park at night by myself but I want to. I want the right and choice to. I’ve walked Bourke St Mall at 9 at night and been harassed . Keep walking, head down, don’t make eye contact even thought Ive just been called a Asian slut. What the fuck ? I’ll be Marching on Monday night but I don’t want to, why ? Because I shouldn’t have to. It should be my right to live in peace. This is not gender specific. Men are harassed and robbed and subject to violence too. Live and let live I’ll be Marching on Monday night, head held high and angry, simply cause I can I’ll be Marching even though I don’t want to, I shouldn’t have to, cause after Jill Meagher this shouldn’t have happened I’ll be Marching cause Eurydice can’t, Jill can’t but I can and I will We will make a difference, I have to believe that

Have an awesome day your royal peachness... 😊😊 Your sign off says all about your attitude towards me when all I'm doing is objecting to your need to use cunt in pretty much every one of your posts. You put me down and laugh at me but all I'm asking for is a little respect. Does that sound familiar? You didn't respond to the bulk of my post that wasn't all about you but did use your current insistence to point out the overall attitude that leads towards disrespect of women. Me in particular in this example. It's a wholistic attitude I believe is necessary to make changes in the world. Things like how King Hit became the Coward's Punch through one person's efforts to reflect the seriousness of the crime. This is a copy and paste you can follow up on if you care to look deeper into the topic of how media represents women and men. Peachy, please respect my position and discontinue posting on my threads to simply support your right to act like a cunt. The recent murder of Queensland policeman Brett Forte rightly received considerable public attention. But unless a man’s death occurs in extremely tragic and unusual circumstances, male victims of homicide often seem to receive less attention from policymakers, the media, and the wider public than female victims.When we think about prevention, we tend to focus on trying to tackle uncommon situations – such as “one-punch” deaths – rather than looking at the bigger picture.Discussions of men and homicide (murder and manslaughter) usually centre on men as perpetrators, rather than victims. But even though males represent around half the population, they account for about two-thirds of Australian homicide victims.This over-representation of male victims occurs across many countries.

Tyres around roses are grrreat for helping make sure the water pools in the area around the roots, that's how we set some of ours up years ago anyway, the 1-3in stones I thought would make the perfect mulch layer, not so great. It's taken hours to get them all out after they ah sunk below the sand. I put my fore finger out of commission for a couple of days after stabbing the top knuckle with a thorn but it's all better now. Wear gloves, and learn from my garden lessons lol.

This pass gives u access to all areas minus the private and corporate areas. Caught up with heaps of friends, and spent time with son and friends, which was great having beer talking general shit and attempting to look into the future, as men do ref who was gunna win without having a clue.

I'm getting to excercise my mind, body, soul and senses of curiousity & gratitude. I finally, finally took new pics, and for a laff, they're me in an old t-shirt I won at the pub years ago. He and I had fun taking the shots today and will be taking advantage of the feelings aroused. Very shortly, I'm going to head off for another game of pool and see if the more encompassing vision I have become aware of, with the table being a playing field rather than my usual playing ball by ball and hoping for the best, continues to expand.

This box at Dark Mofo was essentially a work of symbolism. The box/container was quite comfortable with a bed and wall fittings. From inside it would not be apparent much being underground or even if it was enclosed anywhere else. Might have been a nice getaway from society for a while :p - Posted from rhpmobile

I had beautiful visions of something like that Reader's Digest (true?) story from forever ago where a kidnap victim was buried underground and the hunt was on to find them before the supply of oxygen and water ran out. I might have been less disappointed if I had realised the 'box' was apartment sized inside, well lit every moment (for the purpose of creating paintings which I believe are to be buried with the box), and I'm assuming all the necessities of life complete with back ups available. I don't believe viewers got the chance to look inside at all, I only stayed until just after they assisted the man out of what looked like a sea container with the top removed and escorted him inside. Ah well, nowhere near as exciting as my imagination had painted it, not enough to encourage continued curiousity. Peachy

But I’m glad I did It wasn’t a March, it was a vigil, and that was so much more fitting No doubt you will read about it all over the next few hours, so I won’t waffle but I would like to share a few thoughts It was cold, it was overwhelmingly supported; thousands turned out It was dignified, respectful and unnervingly quiet No phones rang, no one took selfies, no whispering, no giggling as we were plunged into darkness, which was softly lit by thousands of tightly clutched candles There were no tears, just quiet contemplation as we reflected on exactly why we were there And there were people of every age, race, lifestyle there, all united to say No more We stood for 20 minutes and 20 minutes is a long time to stand quietly in the bitter cold but at no time did I see anyone check their phone. I felt peace and calm wash over me and all my anger of the last few days dissipated. No speeches, just quietness And then the choir sang Halleujah and we all joined in and that’s when I choked . I looked around and I saw many choking too and I noticed then just how many many many men were there and my heart swelled. So many men voicing their support by just being there. Brave men, beautiful men It ended and we headed off going our separate ways, back to our lives, all of us for a moment, brought together by a woman who most of us never knew and now never will but whose name will be echoed for years in Melbourne . My friends suggested a coffee but I declined as I was a bit emotional and simply wanted to get home I made it home, safely and so did my friends, I know as we have all texted each other, checking But Eurydice never made it home, never will and that fact alone is why I must stay angry

While I applaud people's optimism about changing our culture so women are truly safe, I have to ask "how many women's deaths will it take? How many vigils? How many marches? How many women, men and children saying NO MORE". I have been marching, I have been silent at vigils and I have been vocal about men's violence against women, for close to 30 years. I am angry, despondent and I feel helpless to and hopeless about societal change. - Posted from rhpmobile

And I love that he could make Pacific Rim so much fun....when, really, it could have been so silly. My favourite Director, I think.

.. Gypsy., this is exactly what I was going to bring up in the word thread, day before last. It's always admirable to draw attention to issues that truly deserve a light shone upon them, in an attempt to begin a conversation on the issue and then hope for change. However, to bring about change, you need action. Action upon the root cause. Discussion is great and necessary, action can bring change. A few pages ago, when this was brought up by Anti., I made comment and offered up a possible in part solution to begin to bring about change. Plenty said it's outrageous, yep, couldn't agree more, and I said so. Can't remember how many suggested ways to help fix the problem, and you know what, it's a big problem. It probably feels good to be part of the noise, you get a warm feeling in side, a apt on the back, and off you go, still angry, still frustrated, still unsatisfied. Unfortunately, Noise ends up being tuned out. Noise won't fix the problem. Action can help us down the road of change, however, and I know this upsets people, it upsets me, it won't happen overnight, no matter how much it should. .. Australian society, has, throughout my fifty years, been Very blokey, very masculine. It's why I've had a lifetime of people, mainly but not always boys and men, calling me a poof, a fag, effeminate. I'm Not a blokey bloke. And I haven't had friends over the years who were either. I've seen those blokey blokes, those who subscribe to the whole, I'm a man, this is my role, treat those around them far too often without respect. As I mentioned a few days ago, I have Never hit anyone in my entire life, even when being hit, being punched myself, as I said, I don't understand violence, it has no place in society, not in defence, not at the football, not toward those who differ from you, NOT IN THE HOME, NOT AGAINST THOSE YOU LOVE. .. This is a societal issue. We all, as I said a few days ago, need to educate our children, the next generation. Boys need to be taught to respect girls and women, they need also to be taught to respect other boys and men. We need to teach both boys and girls to call out inappropriate behaviour when they see it. It has staggered me All my life, that anyone who calls people out on bad behaviour, ends up being the one punished in some way, even of it just by ignoring them. Australians, during my fifty years, have too often disparaged the so called dobber or whistle-blower, while backing the perpetrator of the bad behaviour. I've had a lifetime of calling people out for bad behaviour, it's lost me friends, jobs, acquaintances, and family. But I know I was right to do so. Children and adults need to be taught it's okay to call out bad behaviour, in fact, it's critical. They need to know too, that they'll be listened to and action taken where appropriate. If you were, for instance to begin a program in schools, as part of the curriculum, with our system that might take two years to implement, and begin a television and internet advertising campaign, quicker to get up and running, it will still take time to change long held attitudes. Look at anti drink driving ads and education, what's it been now, thirty-three odd years of the campaign, and still idiots hop behind the wheel who are over the legal blood alcohol limit. .. I hope that vigil is another block toward change in Australia. I hope her death and All the other deaths, all this injured in any way too, have not been hurt and killed while we sit by and squabble about who's issue it is, hey, it's All of Australia's issue, true Australia isn't alone with this. Think about the root causes, think about ideas for change, suggest them, put pressure on the nine gazillion tiers of government we apparently need , to help bring about the change we all want. Talk to your kids. If you know someone who is doing the wrong thing, someone who is harming someone, in any way, call them out on it. Be a part of change. Don't just be a part of the noise. .. Well, that's just my one cent worth, as I always say. You decide of one cent can still make a difference. Mr. urn. .

Men are killed at an approximate rate of 1 per month compared to 1 per week for women In Relationships. Who cares about them? While women are murdered at a far higher percentage in relationships because most violent crimes are committed by men, the fact is men account for two thirds of the victims of murder in society. To effect real change, I believe we need to adopt a perspective that doesn't force everyone into an us and them position. One that recognises we all matter and that violence is an overall trend that needs to be recognised as unacceptable whoever the victim is. We should all have the right to live life in our homes, on the streets and at events without being attacked. The story for the man I asked about above is mentioned in the article I've been referring to for anyone who wants to check it out, I've included the title and conclusion of that article below, Peachy, it ties in some with my thoughts... "Men are killed at a greater rate than women in Australia – what can we do to reduce their risk? So, we are left with a choice: whether the links between males becoming victims of homicides and difficult-to-tackle social, economic and cultural factors make this something for the too-hard basket, or whether we are willing to gamble that tackling wider contributors to criminal activity and violence overall can deliver homicide prevention by proxy."

Just so you know a bit more about where I'm coming from, I've helped implement policy change when Safe at Home legislation was introduced in Tasmania. I've contributed to state-wide strategies that included curriculum changes to include respectful relationships. I've supported and empowered victims of DV through workshops, practical support and advocacy. Yes, I've also been an activist because women across the world are still seen as being of less value than men. I don't JUST make a noise! I'm glad there are men like you. Keep working in your own way for true gender equality and I'll keep working in mine, despite my feelings of anger and frustration at how long this particular change is taking.

I am trying to approach from a position not to blame but looking at how all the parts could do better to work together to fix the whole. Which means I am looking at a whole pile of patterned behaviours in men and women and how they effect each other negatively to suppose how positive changes could be made. Lumping the overall problem for the threat to men, women's, and children's safety on men ignores they're not the whole problem which is the gist I get a lot when men are talked about in the news and on the site. They're supposed to know all these ways of behaving that women want from them despite women's admitted lack of knowing what they want. They're not given respect when they do the right thing according to many posts in the forums. Men matter too, Peachy, I wasn't arguing the place 'some' men have in the statistics.

Quoting 'MFW_23'Quoting 'PeachyPearL' I liked your post because It made sense to me, I'm not the best at expressing myself but I did make the point in my post that it is men who tend to be more violent... But it is everyone's problem and have to add that women ain't saints. I'm a bit sick of the fact that every time this issue comes up, people just have to add 'but women can be violent too!'. Yeah, I think we all know that women can also be violent. We all know that women can be shitty people as well. Nobody is saying that it is ONLY men who commit violent acts, but look at Meander's stats up there though, and you see how much it is skewed towards men. Yes there almost certainly is an element of under-reporting for violence by women, but that goes both ways since women often don't report either (talking about assaults, rapes, etc). I'm just done with tiptoeing around this issue and constantly qualifying my comments with #notallmen or #womendoitaswell, to try and appease the people who get their knickers in a knot about the facts. I was expecting a response like this from you, and I think you're reading your expectations into my post. I'm looking at many aspects which is my contention is the way to go rather than lumping everything on the guys plates all the time. Manners used to be the grease of society but not these days, that's one thing I go on about that's at the heart of my posts. Eg: someone (doesn't matter who it is) acts the way we want, we reward that behaviour instead of ignoring it, I'm thinking specifically of onsite messages here for eg. Men are told so often they don't matter, and a lot of them accept it. I hear a lot talk about positivity on the site, how about we practice it and try building them up some of the time so it's a two way street? I don't and haven't had a lot of the problems in my time on here aside form my personal relationships of course. But that's normal for a person with my background, it annoys me I'm only admired for surviving, not for who I became. Teamwork, Peachy, simplistic thoughts I know but I believe...

.. Quoting 'MFW_23' Whilst I agree that education is an important component of a solution, it's only a small part. You touched on another central aspect in your post as well. Whilst our society still holds and promotes the ingrained, very limited idea of what being a 'man' and being 'masculine' means, I don't think we will see much progress towards addressing violence in our society (I'm including DV in that as well). There are a lot of very frustrated and angry men out there, but they have no clue how to feel or address their emotions in more healthy ways because they've been taught all their life that emotions are expressions of weakness, and are solely for women. If you're a 'man' you don't feel or show emotions, other than anger. We also need a complete overhaul in how we address and treat mental health issues, and alcohol and other drug problems. Not to mention a shitload more funding for these areas which have also been completely gutted by our government. Some of the other issues that feed into the problem are even more complex - unemployment and underemployment, loss of social connections, poverty, homelessness, etc. None of our governments have the balls to even speak about the actual causes of these problems, let alone try and address them in any meaningful way. Yep, agree, so, we both agree. I even said that "A few pages ago, when this was brought up by Anti., I made comment and offered up a possible in part solution to begin to bring about change." Note, not whole solution, although education can take many forms. And, since I was fifteen I've used the same phrase over and over again, "Everything is infinitely complex". And I agree with all the aspects you raised. While Mrs. urn. and I were talking about all this on the weekend, I said to her, and she agreed, it will take generations for substantial change. We're trying to change thousands of years of patriarchy and male entitlement. And, at it's heart, it's a power, control, lack of impulse control, lack of respect, entitlement of will problem. I'm under no illusion as to either the complexity of the problem nor the length of time that will be necessary for complete change. I think we All agree the statistics show a clear male bias/imbalance, fact remains, it's a societal issue. From my memory, Peachy. has always, in the three years we've been here, spoken about it in a broad context, and as a societal issue. Thumbs up. .. Gypsy, I was agreeing with you and applauding you. I think you have mentioned some of that recently, so I was aware. And you should be thanked for all you've been involved with and done thus far. The "you" wasn't directed toward you, sorry if that wasn't made clear in my comment. Thank you for the compliment too. Sounds like Tasmania is lucky to have you as part of the community down there. The "you" was for the broader context, that all too often people talk about things that need addressing but no action follows. So, everyone, go out, make a positive difference in you community. Mr. urn. .

Men's page:For men who are using violence Men are discriminated against even on a site for domestic violence victims, the woman's page should certainly have a section similar to this, Peachy, it's not easy for any of us and part of it that the culture in Australia needs to change.

Not discounting your principal, it is valid at any time but not just now. Give her some respect, her time in reflection so as society can make in roads to the problem that cost her life .

Quoting 'usrightnow_Again' Thanks pip. for posting such beautiful thoughts. And allowing those unable to attend an insight to what was clearly an important and moving experience, which we can only hope leads to change. Mr. urn. . Mr Urn I wish more than anything that last night that there was no need for a vigil, but that was not to be, and because I'm angry and I will not let that go, I had to go and I'm glad I did. As I said, there was a lot of love, empathy compassion and healing in the air last night but for all that's been written in the last 24 hours, we must not just gather for a hour and so and then forget When I was getting ready at work last night to go, a female colleague asked me what I hoped to achieve by going. A whole heap of answers made their way up my throat but only one came out of my mouth, quite spontaneously, but it was one word "Change" "I want change for you and me and society in general" is how I answered. She seemed happy with that Today the Victoria Government introduced into parliament , legislation to commence with a new department called "Respect Victoria" (google) it received bi partisan support and has 12 million dollars in funding. Its a start This issue is huge, diverse and all encompassing and it needs to be tackled on many levels. There is no one simple answer but personally I do not believe it is a government issue, per say It starts with us, society, and it starts at home, treating and demonstrating respect and manners to each other. And then it needs to be reinforced in the schools, then the universities, in the workplace and even more so in social media and yes even on social dating sites like this It is a social issue but begins with one thing, respect for oneself and for others. And we must stay angry and focussed. Eurydice must not just be a name for the next few weeks and then her name fades into the darkness, as her life faded on that dark cold night exactly one week ago. Every single one of us has a part to play . But where the biggest change that needs to take place, is one I cant do anything about This morning I listened to Ray Hadley on the radio and he stated that it doesn't matter how many white ribbons we wear or how many vigils we attend, unless the judicial system in Victoria undergoes a major review and shakeup, then its all fruitless. In Victoria it is the legal system that consistently lets us down and this is where the major change must occur On a side note I have posted before that on a Saturday evening I work in a escort agency as a phone hostess. I work for a good friend of mine who wanted to start a escort agency that was legit and caring and it is. Each time I send a escort to a job it is constantly is in the back of my mind if I'm I sending them into a potentially dangerous situation, even though I know a driver is outside. In the 7 months I have been working there not one of the escorts have been subjected to any danger, violence or disrespect. I find this to be a very interesting fact and I wonder why that is ? Gypsy Rose I loved your post and I have no idea where it stops and hopefully there will be no more deaths, but I do know we must keep trying and instigate change For Eurydice

I don't really know where to start, to even comprehend why you ask this. I understand the intent behind your question, perhaps the delivery is what has upset me. Maybe I'll just tell you about the conversation I had with 3 young women today, who I have had the pleasure of knowing for 2 years, watching them move from late teens to young adults. They wanted to talk about the vigil, to explore what it meant to them, to discuss that for them it was a statement for change. Each one of these brave, outstanding, funny and re-made females saw the need to reflect on their memories, to talk about their emotions, to put it in context of their own recoveries. They call themselves the re-mades because that is what they have had to do - remake themselves after acts of violence perpetrated by men irrevocably changed their lives at a time when they should have been enjoying their just started teenage years. Significant damage, both physically and emotionally meant they lost so much...of life, of trust, of hope. But they are, by their own accounts, re-made, as much as they can be. They acknowledge it will always be part of them, but for the most part they keep moving foward. It has taken so much effort, so many hours of work with specialists, so many fractured relationships tenuously rebuilt. They saw the vigil, like the reclaim the night vigil after Jill Meagher's death, as public support, that people care, that many want women's lives to be free of the terror they have all felt. That the violence has to stop. So was it a vigil for one white woman? You know the answer to that.

So, if not now, then when would it be convenient? The threads about domestic violence in the forum are all about women that I can see. But I had already taken it upon myself to leave the topic and am only back to reply because of the accusation and blocking because I insist on making the point that I was really happy Mr. URN had acknowledged what I had to say, so I wasn't feeling the need to say anything else. You weren't expecting that were you. Candy, this woman has been taken on as a representation for all women I believe. Peachy,

If you were socially aware you would know that we have remembered ALL victims of violence male, female , children but as is always the case, there is always a catalyst, that brings us together in any given situation, to say ENOUGH I guess the only consolation you can take from this is tragic death and the events of the past week is 1) thank god it wasn’t you raped, murdered and discarded in cold dark park 2) and if it was, people like me would have rallied in your name to demand change so that your death was not in vain I hope that gives you some comfort

Yes....as EQ's suggesting, there are places for men to share "Male issues", if they choose to. Even I am( or, was, I think ) a member of 2 such Facebook groups set up as places to share and support....and I say "even I" because I consider myself a pretty "independently together" fellow( for want of a better word.. ), but not so introverted that I don't want to help others.These aren't female-bashing places I'm talking about...but, I've heard such places do exist too. And then there are the predominantly male, private Facebook groups centred around a shared hobby or an interest. One that I joined a few months ago is called Pics Of Interesting Motorcycles.....and the title says it all, really....which has over 30000 worldwide members as of now.It's open to anyone to join...as long as they abide by the rules, which are about as tightly regulated by moderators as this place, and are the usual things....keep to topic; if you cant say anything nice, don't say anything; save the pics of models and the memes for elsewhere....the usual, really. The sharing and bonding with strangers over a shared interest, offers of assistance, etc is inspiring to see. I guess people only need an interest in common to bring them together. That, and the efforts of the moderators of that group who need to keep the posts of 30000 people in line.

EarthQueen, thank you for that, I was making a point that in the 11 years I have been here, there has been no public thread that supports men that I know of. Public search or searching when signed out does bring up both of the secret forums last I looked, it's been like that for years and there is a thread on it in SWB. Kool, where are the rallies and the outrage for the men? I never suggested there weren't support forums out there but the fact that men's issues don't hit the news and don't garner the same outrage. And they should. Ah yes, and did you know women are demanding rights to enter the Men' Sheds? What I tend to see here on the site in regards to men is mainly negative and that is part of what is at the heart of my posting. Balance. I looked deeper into DV and found stats that could relate here if we look into suicides as well. The story I'm looking at is by the Sydney Morning Herald, from 6 Nov '17. It is this sort of story that has me believing there needs to be a wholsitic approach because there are so many factors, and we all need to matter more to stop the cycle. I came across this quote in my searches yesterday when I found an article that said what I was thinking. "If you always do what you’ve always done, you will always get what you’ve always got.Many people attribute this quote to Anthony Robbins and before him Albert Einstein, Henry Ford, and even Mark Twain. Regardless of the origin, what matters is the point it makes. If you want to change the end result, you need to change the way you do things.".Peachy, has had a lifetime of not being listened to, or being abused for speaking, and happens to be a woman. I hold the right to speak without any intention to bring down anyone else's cause but to push my POV without being judged for it or put down.

Mens causes don't need rallies and outrage...in my opinion. Amongst other things, they need support from the government at a state and federal level and from employers. I'm more scared of being eaten by a crocodile or a shark than of being raped or murdered. Can a woman honestly say the same? That's an important distinction.

I'm not arguing that women, children and aged people are viwed as weaker and preyed upon... and that behaviour needs to be changed on so many levels. On the street, in homes, in aged care... My problem is I think we're all important and I'm not focusing on 2 specific types of crime performed against women by men as I keep explaining. I already liked the post MFW had further back and commented to agree with it as well. I can't help feeling if men were more regarded as being vulnerable too there would be more chance of a meeting of the minds. They can't even have a Men's Shed without women wanting to have rights. I have access to a Women's Health Care Place and don't want me no men there, so why can't they have something of their own too? And I live in a district where violence is committed by all and sundry, age and sex regardless. Performed on whoever is vulnerable. I see the guys whose ex wives accused them of crimes they didn't commit to win the children ruining that man's life and the stats, I think a lot of the discrimination against men could do with being looked at. I believe a lot of my position came from a place where it might have been the man committing the crime but it was the woman who left me in that position for 3 years. So, I'm not en pointe for where you all are coming form, I realise that. Yeah, so as long as we have limited vision, I don't think there will be much progress, my favourite song is on, I'm Alive - Celine Dion... Live at the Divas performance. <3
