A year ago, Uyinene Mrwetyana was raped and murdered for doing the same. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what to say on this horrific anniversary. All day, I’ve been running different approaches through my mind.
I’ve written pleas to the men of this country, and found them turning to diatribes halfway through. Then I’ve deleted them, because I have been told time and time again that I cannot ask men to stop raping and murdering us if I’m going to be mean about it. I’ve constructed headlines announcing my own hypothetical death. I’ve decided against posting any, because my mother already lives in enough fear every time I leave the house.
