Today in Croydon a 15-year-old girl was stabbed to death by a 17-year-old boy because she rejected his advances. Me, a concerned female, started talking to my mum about the disturbing rise in extreme misogyny amongst young men and she told me off for men bashing because I have brother. She was actually more concerned about the perception of men because she has a son, rather than the violence women face despite having a daughter.

I just don't understand why some mothers don't have the ability to empathise with their daughters despite being both women.
