Smash has long been used as the code word for objectifying women, representing violent sex aka rape. Smashing is very much part of the #RapeCulture and #Misogyny publicly enjoyed by men in our society. It is daily bread there by @MacGUnleashed podcast & other circles. #BelieveHer – at Johannesburg, South Africa
There is so much misogyny in this “smash” language by @Naked_Dj on @METROFMSA #AskAMan segment with @dineoranaka

Stand up.
Not because you are called
to stand up
but because others may need
to see you stand
before they do.

Since the first 2020 lockdowns, studies conclude that COVID-19 negatively impacts women at a disproportionate rate than men.
As we enter the next phase of SA's COVID lockdowns, recall some of the findings around the virus's impact on women in SA with the resources below.

Another form of intimation! Despite knowing her attorneys of record, they chose to deliver to her home. Just so she knows they know where she lives based on information unlawful given to them from @SAPoliceService file. These are men who don’t respect boundaries nor consent!
My perpetrators asking someone to deliver something AT MY PLACE.
Is that not a scare tactic? Are they trying to show me without a doubt that they know where I live.
@SAPoliceService Why did you give my perpetrators my personal and private information?

Euphonik is doing to Nampree what he did to Bonang. He wants to discredit her by calling her sanity into question. I see the big possibility that the text has been photoshopped but his language in that tweet is deliberate. It's dangerous and meant to open her up to further abuse.

Criminals gave SA citizens a rude awakening after a concert preaching against GBV & poverty. Do we matter away from media lenses that capture the wealthy for photos? Where were you, @SAPoliceService, @GlblCtzn?
