I just get so angry at this 'woman-as-victim' narrative. Some women are victims of awful things and deserve our support & respect even if they are never able to recover. But women as a group are NOT eternally victimised by everything. We are competent adults!

I'm not prepared to be infantalised. And I'm even less prepared to let my daughter, who is brilliant and has much to offer the world, be taught that it is hostile to her & that she is a victim of it. This is not true.

She will encounter arseholes who will try to upset, intimidate and even hurt her. Some of them will be men. It will be horrible. She will need resilience & self-confidence to get through it. She currently has both. No-one is going to teach her she doesn't.
