    Another Australian woman here. About 9 years ago I was kidnapped by a man who had stolen a taxi and taken it on a joy ride. They picked me up, locked the doors, and told me they stole the car and took off.
    I managed to escape (the man was on substances) and when I called the police, they said that because I escaped it was fine and they would wait for the stolen vehicle report to come through.
    A car was more important than my safety or getting this guy off the street and preventing him from getting someone else who may not have been able to escape like I did.
    Australian police do not care about women. My state has the lowest DV conviction rate in the country.

      The population has also boomed, so I'm curious what that effect has had on numbers, since generally the numbers of most crimes increase purely by number. Housing is also a big issue, since so many people are forced to stay with violent people because they can't move anywhere else.

      But it is still less than car accidents, i dont want this to keep women in fear and stop them living life, i have let that stop me from living for so long. Kept my entire existence in fear. 3 people die a day to car accidents.
      I drive safely, but i dont choose to not go anywhere because of that, I grew up being made to feel like the second i stepped outside i was going to be kidnapped, and im scared about other women that are feeling the same, and its all getting worse but i hope we find a balance between justified fear, protecting ourselves, and not overwhelming ourselves. It is good to be situationally aware, but it can go past that and start affecting your quality of life.
      I want laws to change, more protections, more education and more studies to find where the issues stem from and what can be done to make impactful change.

      @@HappyLarry. If you actually go to the Australian Bureau of statistics and look at the data. You will find that violence against women in a wide range of different forms has actually been steadily dropping for the last 30 years. The horrible event at bondi is going to skew the statistics a bit. There are also people who will use a crisis like this to push their own ideas and agendas. Its possible the amount of immigration has affected other crimes, and definitely has affected housing costs, not really sure about violence against women though.
      One of the main things they have found through studies is that it is usually partners or friends of victims that were the perpetrators. They also found that the people doing so are usually struggling financially, in their relationships or with housing. So cost of living is a huge factor for a range of these issues. However the government is cleverly using issues like this to keep the public eye away from real issues and real actions taken by the government.

    On the topic of the protests on college campuses, I saw something earlier today that really hit home for me, it was something along the lines of "The same cops who for 30+ years have told us they can't do anything to stop school shootings are coming out in full force attacking those same students and arresting them for peaceful protests." I can't speak for all protests, but I've been a part of the peaceful protests at UT Austin and there was no disruption to the campus until the police and troopers arrived.

      By just saying the area is public thus they can be there, allows the argument of Jan 6 riotors to be at the capital and in the building just because its "public." Just because national parks are public places it doesn't mean there are no restrictions on what a person can do there. The protests are getting removed because camps are getting set up, not because of their speech. It would be no different if I started building an encampment on Bureau of Land Management or National Park Service public land and I was forcefully removed.

    I'm Australian. I live in a regional city, population 100,000. In 2023 there were no homicides at all - but in the last two months there have been three women violently murdered.
    I was driving to work on Monday and saw a woman jogging. My first thought was 'she's brave.' Before I moved here I spent years living in the more dangerous parts of Melbourne but I'm far more afraid for my safety now.

    I’m a UT student, and I am disgusted with how the protests have been handled. Yesterday, around 30 people set up 5 tents on the South Mall. As soon as state troopers started arresting people and telling them to leave, a huge crowd of people gathered to protest both the police and the war in Gaza. As a result, people were pepper sprayed, thrown to the ground, and flash bangs were set off. As of right now, I believe there’s set to be more protests, faculty are calling for a vote of no confidence in our university president, and this situation has festered into something it never needed to be.

    Aussie here. My wife's friend was in a toxic, violent, relationship and went to the police for help.

She went to the police for help again after the AVO was breached repeatedly, and the next day the boyfriend ran her off the road and bashed her to death with a brick whilst she was trapped in the car. This was in 2015 and law enforcement actions regarding domestic violence haven't gotten any better or tougher. As much as we have a domestic violence problem here, we have a law enforcement and judicial problem - every perpetrator seems to walk free on bail.

    As a young person who agrees that media should focus on more platonic relationships, I think the difference is that we don’t want unnecessary sex scenes and romance. It’s the shoehorned romance as well as the lack of platonic relationship representation that we want to be rid of, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want sex or romance in our media at all. I’m asexual and am fine with sex and romance in my media as long as it’s done well and serves the story. It’s the difference between Season 1 Euphoria and Season 2 euphoria. While season 1 euphoria isn’t perfect and arguably crosses the line occasionally, there are moments where the sex and romance are done well, while season 2 is all kinds of unnecessary with pointless shock factor, that doesn’t make sense for the characters that were written in season 1.

      Idk, I don't really get why you would need to chance focus either way, what I want are good movies. Romance is popular because it's intense and dramatic, and most people find it interesting. I have massive issues with current movie industry, chief being just things turning more corporate aka. safe. aka. tons of sequels, remakes, IP harvesting and just very formulaic safe/uninteresting movies.
      For my part, I have never watched movies because of the romance, and movies based on relationships are basically on bottom of my watch list just after horror. Not that I don't enjoy that stuff, like with Game of Thrones, but it's just not why I pick my media. But yeah, I don't really get why it matters what's focused on as long as it makes media more interesting.

      @@mukkaar I also don’t seek out relationship based stories. Horror-comedy movies are my favorite genre, for example Happy Death Day. That movie has a romantic relationship that feels earned and makes the story stronger and makes sense in the plot. I also love the Addams family and was excited to Watch Wednesday but was really disappointed by this unnecessary love triangle that they were forcing in that added nothing to the story and doesn’t even make sense for the character, especially since they had a much better story of her developing a platonic relationship with her roommate that they shoved to the side. My biggest issue is that they put in romance and sex in media that aren’t just romcoms and teen dramas and most of the time it’s unnecessary and bad. Horror movies are riddled with gratuitous sex and nudity that does nothing for the story and is just there for shock value and marketing.

    I have a brother who is part of the Columbia protests. On his acceptance letter, they said one of the reasons they admitted him was because of his willingness to take political action in the face of consequences. he was disciplined by our highschool when leading a class walkout over political inaction due to gun violence. He and other students are doing the exact thing Universities say they want. The 1960's Vietnam protests and the 1980's South African Apartheid Protests are celebrated on their website as honorable student actions, and that the crackdowns were wrong then.
    I have no doubt that in 20 years, Columbia and other schools will celebrate these student actions as proof they attract and create the moral leaders of the world.
    Of course i worry for his safety. but its not his decision if he's in danger. Its entirely Columbia's decision whether to create danger by bringing in the police, or remove any disruption by divesting from war-profiteering. Students succeded in forcing South African Apartheid Divestment. I believe they'll succeed again.

When the story is about those things, it makes sense that there would be those scenes, but when I'm watching Oppenheimer the sex doesn't actually add anything to the narrative of the movie and just makes me feel awkward (just as an example).

    What was most shocking, however, was the mass email that went out this afternoon. The interim chancellor said he was “ disappointed that we had to take action this morning regarding protesters” when he was the one who sent the police in. Additionally he included pictures of the raided encampment at the end of the email with no context, almost implying that the camp was that messy and disruptive the entire time. We had an alert go out at around 3pm where our school went into “condition 2” where all non mandatory actions were suspended.

The data is clear that policing has the one of the highest rates of domestic violence. It's one of many professions where the people attracted to the role, in this case violent people, are the last people who should actually be in that role. So it is unsurprising that the police themselves seem reluctant around the world to enforce the laws the protect people from domestic violence. They are some of the people most likely to commit abuse or to be friends/work with police officers who are abusers.

    I’m an Aussie and I’ve worked with domestic violence victims. We keep having cycles of politicians saying that violence against women is wrong but there isn’t real assistance for victims who want to leave. We need to stop putting all the responsibility for managing the risks of leaving abusive relationships on to victims. We also need real changes to family law and the range of laws that work against victims. It’s time for the rhetoric to translate into action.

      Here in the States, often times the 'support' offered is a women's shelter and a restraining order. Neither of these things are real support, even in emergencies. The shelters themselves offer a roof and a meal, to be sure, but a restraining order is made of paper; when dealing with a man who believes violence against women (thereby, ultimate control over women) is okay, simply the act of obtaining a restraining order turns it into a big, flimsy target. We need better protections and we also need to educate young boys and get rid of this 'manosphere ' culture that not only makes it 'okay' but celebrates and enforces it as the only way to be a true man.

Her not getting up and the bus boycotts that followed were all pre planned, organized protests. She was specifically chosen for that role because the first woman to do it was darker skinned and pregnant out of wedlock and not an “ideal” face of the protest. The sit ins, marches, freedom rides, civil disobedience, no violent resistance were all forms of protest that got national attention and led to changed laws. The March on Washington is considered one of the most successful protests in the world. Are things perfect now? No, but way better than they were due to protesting. There’s the Suffragette Movement, the Boston Tea Party, the Stonewall Riots, the Occupation of Alcatraz. There are local protests to get rid of government officials all the time.

    AI Data scraping is a hugely scary problem in the fanfiction communities. Fanfiction already exists in a very delicate gray area of copyright law. It was a huge stink when Google changed their terms of service to start accessing Google Docs. People have been frantically switching to alternative writing tools to continue their works without jeopardizing their place in the ecosystem. It's a very real fear that if fanfiction data is scraped the fanfiction writers will also face legal backlash for writing it even if they didn't consent to the AI scraping by the Fandom's original author. Absolutely wild.

      We already have laws about plagiarism, so the output from the ai is still limited just as much as if a human had copied someone's work.
      We already have laws about both piracy, privacy, and gdpr. So the training data is still required to be sourced in a legal manner (and any legal but unethical such data, is obviously a question of poor privacy laws, not a question of needing new laws specific to AI, and *only* AI), just as if a human wanted to find inspiration/learning.
      For stuff like google docs, and terms of services in general, the issue is not that ai can use the data. It is that those large companies are allowed to sneak such clauses into them _at all._ Sure, do allow them to have such clauses (it's their service and servers after all), but make them far more obvious, *and even when they updating ToS then do require some more explicit agreement from the user than simply continuing to use the site or checking some checkbox about an entire update.*
      And "private" files that a company has access to, should still be considered private. And the company would be the one liable for any illegal usage thereof. (say a user upload a movie they bought to their google drive, then the user should be fine as it is still private use. But google should be liable for any illegal sharing of the movie.)
      And for fanfics, disallowing fanfiction is stupid. What should be possible to disallow, would be using their trademark or having too similar titles and not making it clear it is a non-canon fanfic. But the usage of their characters or world or whatever, in a clearly marked non-canon way, should obviously be ok. Even if you monetize it.

    I am an australian woman and the mechanisms for protecting victims are not sufficient at all. Changes need to be made to laws and family courts as well as in the culture, particularly in private schools and universities where there are frequent stories of misogeny, harrassment and sexual assault. There is a current lawsuit against the Australian National University and their handling of sexual assault and cover-ups. As a student, it is scary that there are particular residences which are well known for sexual assault but female students are not given any information about this so the univeristy can protect its reputation. I know women who have been sexuallt assaulted and told they could only make a report if they agree to have their name public. This prevents reporting.
    I know people who have suffered abuse and when they finally got the courage to reach out to police and get restraining orders and such there was no protection following this. This means that at the time where victims are most vulnerable, they are left to fend for themselves.
    I also know people who work with police, tracking cases and domestic violence is extrememly common. Things need to change because deaths are sadly common.

    Regarding scalpers, that's an extremely easy problem to solve for the most part: just make all tickets fully refundable up to 24 hours prior to the event. If you cannot go for whatever reason, you just refund your ticket and let it be resold via the original channel and at the original price (so no platinum or any such service) and that's it. Even Ticketmaster allows setting such a scheme (tho they actively discourage it for obvious reasons), so performers who complain that they cannot do anything about scalpers or surge prices are either uninformed or plainly lying.

    I've seen moms who seem perfectly fine while I'm in the room with them, but when I look at their screener they are practically screaming for help. It kills me that our system is so fractured that I can't even guarantee that they are going to get that help, even when it's so obvious that they are really suffering.

    As an Australian woman, I am proud of the people that took to the streets to voice our dissatisfaction with the continuing trends in violence against women and minorities in this country, but I'm a little disappointed that much of the conversation seems to have pivoted to whether or not the PM was asked to speak and whatever drama is going on there. Thousands of people marched all over the country in places that the Prime Minister wasnt present and their voice is just as loud as Canberra's.
    It doesn't matter if he speaks at the rally. What matters what action the Federal Government takes to help the issue, because his speech is just words in the end if it's not backed up with action.

      At least violence against women gets taken seriously. All current DV research shows that men are being abused by women as much as women are being abused by men, but no one ever talks about it, or its dismissed. The stigma and lack of resources and protections for men are much worse than they are for women, despite men being victimized just as often.
      As a man who had an abusive ex-girlfriend, it fucking infuriates me every goddamn time DV is talked about as if it's only an issue women face, when yall motherfuckers are attacking us just as much.
      And before you or anyone else says it, women used to kill their partners as often as men did, but that only decreased when DV shelters became available for women. Given that there are no DV shelters for men, it would make sense that the rate at which men murder their partners would also decrease if men had DV shelters too.
      God this shit pisses me off so much.

    Australian here. Almost 10 years ago to the month (Feb 2014), the NSW state government's reaction to a male teenager being assaulted (and later dying from his injuries) was to introduce lock-out laws covering what was deemed to be an "at risk" area in the CBD. These new laws included preventing people from entering licensed premises after 1:30am and forcing those businesses to close at 3am. They also forced bottle shops to close at 10pm. The laws were repealed by 2021.
    There was a running joke at the time that all it takes for the government to act is for a man to be killed.

    As an Australian, the current discussion about violence against women has been interesting to see.
    On one hand, I'm thankful the discussion is still being had. Every woman I know either knows someone or is someone with a story of violence. Many commentators are right, throwing money around doesn't do much when most services don't implement that money properly. Homicides as a result of breaching AVOs and DVOs shouldn't be happening, and the government should be making them stricter, and police should be stepping up in making sure they're enforced. Assistance, services and community outreach need to be properly staffed and funded.
    On the other hand, I think that there's a significant level of fearmongering. Women are ~30% of homicides, and half of those are from intimate partners. In 2020-21, one woman was killed every 15 days by an intimate partner, while one man was killed every 28 days by an intimate partner. You won't see the later part, because the news will spend two weeks milking the death of a poor woman, creating an environment of fear that leads to prominent feminists like Clementine Ford being allowed to say how men should d*e and that men weren't being k*lled fast enough from COVID. That type of environment will likely ostracise boys and young men rather than promote them positive behaviour. The focus also means that people who don't fit the norm of domestic violence incidents (i.e. male perpetrator, female victim) are often left to the wayside. In 2016, Morrison's family violence funding literally CUT funding for men by focusing solely on male perpatrators and female and children victims. When people talk about fear of reporting, not being believed, services, call lines, actual convictions, ALL of them are worse than we want them to be for both genders, but they're also all far worse for men who are victims of DV and abuse from women. When the discussion is always "men abuse women" and not "we should stop domestic violence and abuse", that is going to abandon many many people.

    The laws around domestic violence in Australia are a joke. My ex was arrested after my neighbours called the police during a particularly horrific night that landed me in hospital, and was slapped with an Apprehended Domestic Violence Order, which said he wasn't to harass or abuse me anymore. That's it. We went home together from that court room and kept living together, and that wasn't an issue for anyone apparently. I was stuck there, and the "piece of paper" as he called it didn't change any of his behavior, but now with the added threat from his father that if I called the police with the AVO in place that he'd go after my kids. Eventually one night my son did get hurt, so I instinctively called the police, who told me there wasn't enough evidence to show he'd broken the AVO with me, and that my kids weren't covered on it so my sons's injuries didn't constitute a breach of the AVO. Eventually it just expired.
    Assistance and programs designed to help women leave these situations are either non-existant or impossible to get into. When I finally managed to get myself in a financial and mental position to leave, a government agency (Centerlink) whom I'd had to inform of the violence and that I was leaving with my children let slip to him during one of his appointments that I'd applied for a single parenting payment. Complete breach of privacy, especially when I'd had every form noting that it was a DV situation, and then put the safety of me and my children at risk. He was fuming when he came home.
    Police ended up getting involved again, and I was told I could apply for a new AVO and ask them to put in a clause that he can't come near us either, like a restraining order. The officer I ended up talking to told me that unfortunately the law wasn't on my side, because they can only act on an event in progress or that had just happened, so me documenting years of bruises and cuts and injuries didn't mean anything, and because I'd called them before he could get physically violent there was nothing this time to arrest him for. While I could apply for the new restraining order, they'd have to give him my new/future address in order to do so and while I could call the police again if he showed up at a new address, it wouldn't stop him from physically showing up or sending someone like his dad. This male police officer looked me dead in the face and told me to run - to take my kids, move away, and cut contact outside of legal representation. I had a police appointed social worker back this up and explain the legalities that were on my side to just disappear. So we did. Haven't heard from my ex in the nearly 5 years since, and while we've been able to heal slowly I'm terrified of him just popping up again one day.
    You know that changes need to be made when 'the law' is telling you that they can't help, and you should run away. I don't know what the best solution is or how we ultimately get there, but it's terrifiying to think how many women are going to get hurt or worse while politicians twiddle their thumbs.

    The screening for postpartum in my area was a few questions every pediatrician visit for the first few months asking "do you feel like harming yourself?" and "do you feel like harming others?". I realize that's probably more than some mothers are asked, but it's not enough. I didn't realize I had postpartum after my second child until I was on the other side of it, and that's because I thought postpartum only manifested in wanting to cause harm. No one told me that it can be anxiety, panic attacks, feeling like a stranger in your own body, and so many other non-life threatening symptoms that still tear you apart. I hope with everything I have that this new test works and is made easily accessible to everyone who needs it. Postpartum doesn't always take lives, but it can ruin them nonetheless.

    Gender affirming care is not just for trans people. A biological man can get a condition known as gynocomastia or in laymen terms, growth of breast tissue. It is considered "cosmetic" by insurance companies and as a result is more often than not denied coverage. The men and boys who are then stuck to live with this condition forego romantic relationships, activities without their shirts on such as swimming or other sports. Not to mention the emotional toll it takes. I personally suffered for more than a decade and was only able to get the treatment I needed because Washington State made it illegal for insurance companies to deny coverage for gender affirming care. Anyone who thinks gender affirming care should be banned should not hold office and they should be shamed publicly for their disgusting bigotry.

    On the Medicaid/Gender change story- I am the Billing Specialist at the only dentist office within 30 miles that takes State/Medicaid insurance. The difference between a surgeon doing these procedures and a dentist isn't lost on me. However, it's well known in the healthcare industry that if you take State insurance, it's not for the money. If we have a cash patient come in for an exam, we charge $35. But if we have a Medicaid patient come in for that same procedure, the state reimburses us $17.08. I feel it is a misconception that all doctors have to take all insurances, which is not the case at all. We can pick and choose yearly (some quarterly) which insurances we want or do not want to accept. It is frustrating for the patient with Medicaid when your local offices don't take your insurance and you can't get the care you need, but from a business standpoint, you actively lose money by accepting it. My fear with making Medicaid cover gender-affirming procedures is that the reimbursement will be so little that offices will just stop taking Medicaid to avoid it all together. Some offices may look at it as too big of a deficit. Obviously I don't know that that reimbursement looks like and I can only speak to my experience, but the State making this decision could detrimentally effect not just Trans Medicaid patients, but all Medicaid patients.

They are literally treating the legal system like a joke and paying the fines are if they were toll boothes on the way to making far more money.
