sian and crooked rib: For the Independent: Change in law is good for women

I wrote this for the Indy website and the printed ed of the i paper.

At last the DPP are confronting some toxic rape myths

Over the last few months, I've written a few things for the Indy:

Since Reeva Steenkamp's death, 243 women have been killed by male violence in the UK alone

Oscar Pistorius and Ched Evans don't deserve sympathy for their 'ruined' lives - they are not the real victims

Good2Go: Proper sex and relationships education will help end assault, not an iPhone app

The Hobby Lobby ruling was an attack on women’s sexual freedom

There's no off-switch for sexism. The Premier League should have sacked Scudamore

Richard Dawkins is wrong to suggest that there can be varying degrees of severity involved in rape
