The stalking of Lisa Wilkinson is deliberate. She has been a key supporter of Brittany Higgins. Stalking and mocking Lisa sends a message to women: "We're watching you! You're vulnerable!" It's a message women are familiar with. Time to fight back. #Metoomovement #March4Justice

@ask_aubry There need to be laws and an easy reporting process to stop this online flashing. If it’s not OK to flash your genitals at random strangers in the street, it’s also not OK to send them into private spaces (phones/ homes) “Brandon from class” & all his ilk should be prosecuted.

@belinduhpyne I was there: Sarah called the Politicians forward to speak, then told the crowd she didn’t want them to speak. Then let them speak. Albo said his office had asked to speak & was denied, & he respected that. Sarah called him a liar, but she had just said it in front of the crowd.

Apparently Sarah wanted to shoot her cause in the foot and turn the March into Albo bashing instead of about ending violence and changing culture.

@lizaswallace @WomnOfValor I think you’ve hit the nail on the head: the guys complaining that girls want looks are projecting. THEY are only interested in the “best looking” women. They look at models & pron online and don’t interact with real women.

@Dogsarethebes16 @belinduhpyne tbh I think Sarah was full of adrenaline and emotion and becoming chaotic.
