When a tragic event is in the process of happening, doing a welfare check in a facebook group is just inappropriate.

That was bizarre. What about a welfare check for all the other Sydney locals in the group!?

I also don’t love how they’re focusing so strongly on “mothers should feel safe at shopping malls.”

People of faith should feel safe in mosques and churches. everyone should feel safe at a cinema. Kids should feel safe at school. These attacks happen in lots of places and they’re always horrific. We have a right to feel safe everywhere, but sadly we don’t. This isn’t just about mothers.

I thought the headline “the one place all mothers should feel safe” really missed the mark. Women deserve to feel safe everywhere, but if we’re narrowing it down to “one” place, shopping centre just feels misogynistic like “women be shopping”. “One place” should be in their homes, or workplace or out for a bleeping run in their neighbourhood before I’d even think of a mall. Women/mothers are subject to violence in their own homes far more frequently than at shopping malls.

I got what they meant when you read more into it, but it was really lazy and not well thought through as a tagline. They should have said “a place where all mothers should feel safe” which still isn’t great, but it’s better.

So very true. If a shopping mall is the ONE place mothers should feel safe, we’ve got big problems

Because it's Mias local centre, we will hear more about this than Palestine/Gaza. I am NOT taking away from the serious, horrendous stabbings that took place and my heart hurts. More just making a point about Mia looking away at things that suit her (hypocrite)

Absolutely. We’ll certainly hear about it more than Gaza and more than if it was a Westfield located anywhere outside their bubble.
 
Seriously, some of these responses 🙄

It’s the epitome of white feminism isn’t it? Barely a whisper about the thousands of women and children killed in Gaza, but absolute panic when it affects women that look like you.

It is tragic and I have spent the past two days heartbroken too, but if this was Westfield Bankstown I really doubt Mamamia (and their lackies) would be having the same reaction.
