The lives of women ....

I was reminded of John Warboys the black cab rapist.

It took years for him to be arrested. I wonder how many women had reported him to the taxi company or the police before anything was done and how many women were attacked but decided not to report the matter.

and the irony is the youtube video was followed by a weightloss advert

Brilliant poem. Everything she said was true.

As the mother of 3 daughters this really resonates with me.

Thank you Luckygirl13

I think it is very telling and I will be looking up more of her poetry.

How on earth did she remember all that and at speed too
Excellent

Interestingly the youtube version is unexpurgated - I had not realised the facebook one had been sanitised.

Indigo8 - here is a youtube link of the poet Cailtlyn O'Ryan reading the same poem.

I don't do Facebook so I can't read the poem. But I am in favour of anything that highlights the fact that women are still a long way from being treated equally as fellow human beings and not as a second class sub-species.
