But thank you. AFL & others. For helping me see how strong I truly am. For it is only strength that can overcome bullies. I'm out.

Rape culture, in sport or elsewhere. Not ok. Never was. Never will be. Rape, bullying & violence never ok. Emotionally or physically. Not ok
The last thing I absolutely do not need is to continually be disappointed in how atrocious and pathetic too many simply seem to me.
And now as I go and live my life, and work towards making sure this never happens again. I will tap out.
As I look out amongst you *mainly media personalities* I cant help but think, you've got to be fucking kidding me?! How stupid can you be
What has happened to many women & children before me, Is not nor will ever be ok.
I will continue too work to smash rape culture. While I live on this earth, what has happened to me I cannot allow to happen to another.
Effect of rape, violence, assault & bullying. Is unfathomable to those who have not been effected by it. But those people are only fortunate
Women have been saying stop! This is enough! For generations. Women are your grandmas, mums, sisters, daughters.
Our voices are less believed. Men, privileged or otherwise, need to take a stand. Men need to say stop, this is enough!
Men should not & could not be ok with violence & inequality. Women are the stronger of gender. Unfortunately our voices are the less heard
When men look at their mums, wives, sisters, aunties, daughters, friends, you should not & could not be ok with sexual assault & sexism
By so many. Would be extremely hard on me, & predominantly not worth it. I would probably lose. Which I unfortunately know is probably true
To be told on multiple occassions by police & those in the law, to lay charges & prosecute, with so much assault that occurred to me
Women will always be the stronger gender in a world of inequality, where the balance of power is held by those who oppress, those who bully

One thing will always hold true. Which is strangely enough (sarcasm), the truth.
I need to rise above all this bullshit. Live my life. And figure out how I will smash that disgusting & foul rape culture in sport. In AFL.
I dont know where anger is in the 7 steps of the grief process, but if it's around second I will be spewing.
How all this assault continues to affect me emotionally & internally who I am today. How unfair & pathetic it is.
By people within the AFL. Young & old. Rape, bullying, assault, the breakdown I had. The shell of me I became. How difficult rebuilding was
