Amy Winehouse called a song, “What is it about men?”. My question exactly as the summer ends.
We need to talk about Mohamed Al Fayed, who is alleged to have raped female employees; Monsieur Pelicot, the rapist who drugged and pimped his wife Gisèle to dozens of men; that charming man who chopped up his beauty queen wife and mother of his children then puréed her body parts; the one who incinerated Rebecca Cheptegei, the Ugandan Olympic athlete; and oh yes, let’s not forget the Taliban in Afghanistan. Not content with preventing women and girls from working and studying, the beardy mullahs are now bent on the erasure of females. On it goes. In 2024.
