Australia is reeling following the deaths of five women and a security guard at Westfield Bondi Junction Westfield on Saturday afternoon — and one podcast host has pointed out a huge misconception about what happened.
Australia is reeling following the deaths of five women and a security guard on Saturday. But there’s a bigger problem at play.
“Yes, because he wanted a girlfriend and he has no social skills and he was frustrated out of his brain,” the man’s father said, adding his son was “sick” and had schizophrenia. “This violence doesn’t start from nowhere. This starts from people speaking about women as though they’re objects continuously,” she said.
She said this could be anything from domestic violence, verbal abuse, catcalling, sexual harassment, sexual assault, rape, murder and mass murder. Abbie also pointed out women are gaslit when they call out these issues in their life. In fact, women are punished for speaking out. She said that the violence can happen anywhere — in our homes, in our shopping centres, walking at night or travelling alone.
“We’re not being seen as anything but props. I think that this backdrop of society and patriarchal structures allows for someone with severe mental health issues that were untreated to latch on to an ideology that causes a direct violent attack towards women.”
