About this listen
Finally, we are starting to talk about this epidemic of gendered violence, but too often we are doing so in a way that can be clumsy and harmful. Victim blaming, passive voice and over-identification with abusers continue to be hallmarks of reporting on this issue. And, with newsrooms drastically cutting staff and resources, and new business models driven by rapid churn and the 24 hour news cycle journalists and editors often don't have the time or resources bring new ways of thinking into their newsrooms.
Fixed It demonstrates the myths that we're unconsciously sold about violence against women, and undercuts them in a clear and compelling way. This is a bold, powerful look at the stories we are told - and the stories we tell ourselves - about gender and power, and a call to action for all of us to think harder and do better.©2019 Jane Gilmore (P)2019 Penguin Random House Australia

On my must read list
Wish it wasn’t. But this is a book that should be read or listened to especially by our menfolk who often have a blind spot for these issues. Well written researched and read by author. Give up some hours and listen as there is hope.

A must read!
To understand the ways misogyny operate within societies and the way this supports and encourages violence against women (children, ppl w/ a disability, trans folks, and indigenous women). Hard read/listen but worth it. The most comprehensive book on this subject I’ve read.
