I'm watching documentaries

The second one I'm watching now is about violence against women

I'm already having trouble watching the first few minutes, tears are welling up in my eyes

How can it be that we don't deal with this more often?
These women will suffer for a lifetime, struggle with the consequences and yet are only a marginal figure in the media

Every third day a woman is murdered in Germany, every third day, it breaks my heart

Ruba's story

"But the tent, despite its simplicity, was not enough to protect us from the cold nights and the heat of the day.

The conditions were harsh, and the suffering was immense, as we had only a few resources and equipment to sustain us.

All the people ask?

Where is the next hell? There is no interface and no clear way.

Please help me evacuate from G@za before they enter Rafah.

I do not want to die here."

Ruba's story

"We are today on day 215 of the war, and the attacks do not stop, the situation is heading towards genocide, dispersal, and displacement. We have no shelter, and everything we had has been bombed, and there are no words to describe the magnitude of the collapse we are suffering and the suffering we are going through. We are in danger, and at any moment we may lose our lives."

Ruba's story

"We ventured out amidst growing tension, carrying a faint hope that we would return to our homes within two or three days, but reality was harsher than we imagined.

On our way, civilian evacuees were subjected to targeted attacks, and innocent victims fell everywhere. We reached Rafah, a city where we knew no one. We began to build our tents amidst the sand and stones, in a desperate attempt to create a temporary shelter..."

Ruba's story

"The story began suddenly; we woke up to the sound of deafening rockets and violent explosions shaking the ground. These loud screams haven't stopped until now, and fear ran deep within us with every new roar.

Then came the shocking news: we had to leave our homes immediately and evacuate south towards Rafah. The orders were clear; everything in the north was vulnerable to bombing and invasion."

Vaguely pondering the stellar supporting cast in 's (1999):

Jeffrey Jones
Christopher Lee
Ian McDiarmid
Michael Gough
Ray Park
Peter Guinness
Martin Landau
Richard Griffiths

I've always loved the movie for its story, its -ness, and its main cast. The story really could have used more in it, but still.

The men of this supporting cast really do deserve all the shout-outs. The film could not have been its , drama-laden best without them.

Domestic violence is now top of the political agenda in Australia. This comes in the wake of a multiple fatal stabbing and protests that followed. Five women were among six people stabbed to death in a shopping mall in Sydney last month. There have been protests during the past week against the rise in violence against in Australia. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is calling it a national crisis. Tom Canetti with more.

Toxic masculinity and fear of emasculation are primary drivers of misogyny and violence against women.

Even the most vigilant and conscious men fall victim to this, because society has wired us that way. But we can work together to change that.

Awareness is curative.
