Last week, in amid a steady hum of sexual assault allegations across Australia, St Joseph’s College’s headmaster, Michael Blake stood in front of his students and told them:
“I want every young woman who encounters a Joe Boy to be safer because you are there — not merely safe from you, safer because of you.”
Because they reframed the current benchmark for men to be perceived as “good” simply by not being the abusers. But surely, surely, we should expect more. (And be glad that men like Blake, seemingly do).
Elsewhere, we look at the new proposed laws that could let us opt out of certain algorithms.
