It might be worth pausing to consider what happens when well known women on television are talked about in openly sexualised ways online. Even if it feels harmless or private, these comments sit within a wider culture where some presenters are being stalked or harassed in very real and frightening ways. The women themselves will likely never see these posts, yet the act of sharing them still contributes to a tone that reduces them to objects rather than people. This is not about blame, but about reflection. What kind of environment do these conversations help to create, and is it one we are comfortable being part of? |

Are you thinking of Jill Dando, who was shot outside her home in 1999? Never found the culprit 😢 |
