This sort of stuff should mean instant expulsion. That is the only way that the message will get through. Men and boys, you will lose something if you act like this

@freepalestine Exactly. Where are the men? They love to sprout unhelpful things like "not all men", but where are they when their voices are actually needed to speak out about men's violence, aggression and entitlement? 

@yeahyepyes I think it's better for men to not tell women how to feel about women being killed by men. It doesn't matter if things were "better" in the past, women are still being killed by men, one every four days, which is more than last year. What "we" are doing is not having a positive impact, obviously, if things are just slightly better than they were a few decades ago. 
What are you, as a man, doing to combat male violence and entitlement? Other than coming on here and telling women how they should feel, rather than taking a step back and listening? 

She has no obligation to be kind to him, he invaded her life. I hope he thinks twice before doing it again.  Probably not though. This is why women are picking bear. 

@yeahyepyes can you not? I know you’re a man and I think you need to stop talking and start listening. I am so sick of men chiming in with unhelpful comments like this, and if you think you’re helping, I’ve got news for you. You are part of the problem. Domestic violence is deeply entrenched in Australian culture and while deaths might be less today, women are still being hurt and killed at alarming rates. 

@llamamia They have lost skills though. That is the reality. The longer you spend out of work, the less employable you become. Parenting is not a job, time management as a parent is not a job skill. 

@m.g.e "but there needs to also be support for those who want to be able to stay home and raise their own young children." Why? Why should tax payers fund your lifestyle and to stay at home with your own children? 

Yes! Thank you! This is what women need from men. Men who are willing to listen and acknowledge, not tell us what to think or what they think women should be doing.

So just a whole lot of bandaids, then?

I was getting asked by boys to make them a sandwich in the 90s. Very sad to see that absolutely nothing has changed. Sounds like it has gotten worse

@bridget_elise just a stylish winter coat lined with wool. I'm quite warm enough with that. At the moment, I'm getting away with just a hoody. The mornings where I am up in the North-East have been quite mild. 

Are you in the North? Did you get to experience the winter wonderland snow fall a few years back in Launceston? That was puffer jacket weather!!

@vgmamamia Women do the work. Men do not. It is men who need to be stepping up.

The law needs to change so that a man who does this to a woman is remanded in custody without bail and, on conviction, given a mandatory custodial sentence and an ankle bracelet on release. And mandatory counselling so that he can work on his issues. 

@yeahyepyes it serves everyone for the laws to be changed so that violent men who breach AVOs are given a mandatory custodial sentence and electronic monitoring upon release. 

@yeahyepyes are you a man?

@gloried I live in Tasmania and I agree about the puffer jackets! It's not even cold enough down here to warrant such an ugly item of clothing!

@anonymous absolutely. Enough of this pussy footing around the truth and the facts to protect men's feelings. Men are violent. Men commit most of the violent crime. This is a problem with men that can only be solved by men. 

Well, you can get bear sprays and horns, I've watched Alone. I'm picking a bear. 

Although it was encouraging to see lots of men participating, there still wasn't enough male involvement in what is, essentially, a problem with men and violence. 

Also, what the hell Albanese? Just derail the whole thing. Poor Sarah, how distressing. I'm glad she called him out. Men need to do waaaaay better than this, especially men in power. What a gross display of incompetence when it comes to this issue
