I know we can't reach all the edges of society.
But I talk to a lot of men.
I spend a lot of time not in ivory towers, out in community, chatting to people.
And I just feel a bit shameful and embarrassed, and that's just my own guilt, I suppose.
But also I have a 16-year-old daughter, you know, and I know that over her lifetime it is –
very, very likely that she will experience some level of violence.
And that really scares me.
That really scares me.
Yeah.
Yeah, same.
It's so difficult.
I don't think we sit in, like, the vulnerable spaces enough.
And I'm not the expert on this, and I don't want to be ScoMo.
It's like my wife and my daughter said, but it's like when I visualise that, I visualise my daughter.
And I visualise my ex-wife and my sisters and my niece, and I'm like, it's like that's a reality.
They live a different life.
I feel...
A tiny, tiny, tiny piece of the fear bit being queer when I was coming out, being a bit scared of what people would feel and judge and maybe feeling not so safe walking around Chapel Street at nighttime.
There's a tiny piece of me that's felt it, but not this much.
You know, like I actively will not let my daughter go out on her own at nighttime at 16.
