The three women who were murdered are referred to in this @MetroUK headline as "BBC man’s wife and daughters" - surely they could have been referred to in their own right? If not named then their ages or occupations, not who they were in relation to him.

Thanks to Jeremy Vine for having me on BBC Radio 2 with Harriet Wistrich to discuss the Kiena Dawes case.
Yesterday’s verdict shows how often mental health is weaponised to excuse abuse.
I stand with families seeking justice. Abuse is the root cause.

Stuart Hogg walks free after 5 years of coercive control against his wife. His lenient sentence raises urgent questions about how we address domestic abuse.
“I feel like Stuart’s had absolutely no punishment. My first thought was, is that it? It’s not enough,” said Gillian Hogg.

It's International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women today, the key takeaway being: Men. Stop killing women. I expect every man in my network to call out misogyny by other men, including friends and peers. If my 9 old can to this to his classmates, so can you.
It absolutely is, especially male allies. @nazirafzal.bsky.social soberly related the statistics at our Annual Meeting this year. You can hear him in our last podcast episode. #MoMoreViolence #VAWG
