QUOTABLES
“We need to learn to be more compassionate. It is really triggering that women who are abused are attacked.”
“Society will remove the focus from the man who clearly has an emotional-psychological imbalance and instead blame the woman and say why were you going out naked? Our bodies are now demonised and shamed because you as a man can’t control yourself when you look at me.”
“There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be in the God damn streets, let women live their lives!”
