A feminist author used her closing address to call out “himpathy”, where men who commit violence receive “disproportionate and undue sympathy”.
Australian author and academic Kate Manne dedicated her closing address at the Sydney Writers’ Festival on Sunday about the “future of misogyny” to the victims of violence at Westfield Bondi Junction last month when six were killed.
“For the sake of victims, past and present and future, it is important to find our way through the fog and to soberly recognise what happened for what it is: misogyny of a kind that proliferates in our culture.” Festival CEO Brooke Webb said: “We had 39 international guests, which is back to where we were pre-COVID. We believe 70,000 to 75,000 people attended festival events through a combination of free, digital and ticketed events.”book ban at Cumberland Council this month
