FULL EPISODE OF @itsalotpod OUT NOW Violence against women doesn’t come from nowhere. Patriarchy primes men to objectify and dehumanise women. “Casual sexism” isn’t casual, it’s the foundations for violence against women, it’s what upholds patriarchy and allows such extreme acts to occur. Women are gaslit and told that we are hysterical or exaggerating when we call out sexism in our homes, our workplaces, our friendship groups. We’re slut shamed and victim blamed, while being told we are exaggerating the pain we endure at the hands of patriarchy. We are not believed, discredited, humiliated and punished for speaking out. That is, until we are killed. Then we have all of the media attention for a week, and it’s back to business as usual. The media and our politicians treat these incidents as isolated, not recognising the structures that allow and encourage this violence. Simultaneously, we have a pathetic excuse for a healthcare system, where even getting an appointment with a psychiatrist can take 18 months, where those who are most in need are unable to receive any kind of assistance. With this backdrop, we hear the cries of men in power saying “how could this have happened?! This freak event?!” Your ignorance and lack of empathy is clear. We can see where your priorities lie. If we have any hope of even minimising violence against women in this country, we must acknowledge and call out all forms of discrimination and sexism, in an effort to unpave the way to where we currently are.

Ok I feel like we all have endless skincare products for our face but we don’t always put the same time and care into the rest of our body! That’s why I was so excited to try Dermalogica’s Clear Start Clarifying Body Spray from Priceline as it clears clogged pores and minimises future breakouts in hard to reach areas all over your body!! So don’t be scared and #Daretobare your bodily breakouts (bums and all!) @Clear Start #clearstart #clearstartpartner @Priceline Australia

My perfect little princess has already brought so much joy to my life, and now that she is settled with Mr Walters, I have noticed such a difference in him 😭 They play together, annoy mummy together, chase turkeys together, Walter teaches Daisy manners and they both make each other (and me) so happy. They are perfect together and have the happiest little lives. Now that Daisy girl is with us, I have a strong feeling my visits to @Petbarn will double 🫡🫡🫡 and tbh Walter and I love it 🥲#ad

What would you miss the most in the wilderness if you were on Alone Australia? It has got to be one of my favourite shows because it’s honestly the realest reality tv there is. The brand-new season is available to stream now for free on @SBS On Demand #ad #AloneAustralia
