Re your letter (21/6/23). On the back page of The Echo (22/7/23) there was an article about Alibaba trading in child and baby sex abuse dolls – some as small as 65cm, the size of a six-month-old baby. Sick, disgusting, depraved bastards.
Some time ago on the ABC there was a program ‘about women’. I’m very aware that the world is male centric, but when I hear how the first rape laws came into being I was absolutely furious. Really not sure how long ago these first laws came into being.
If a woman was raped; some bloke’s mother or sister or female cousin, it wasn’t a crime because she’d been raped, it was a property crime against him; his property had been damaged.
You know what I reckon Sunflower – fuck that! To me, all females and all males are equal and there’s no way I’ve ever been some bloke’s property – never was, never will be.
Stand up for your rights all of you girls and stay strong.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
