“Tom Meagher used his wife’s unspeakable death to create dialogue, so bless the fuck out of him.”
The Girls creator posted a stirring Instagram post using the words of Tom Meagher - the husband of Jill Meagher who was raped and murdered in Melbourne.
"Beautiful words from Tom Meagher, whose wife Jill was raped and murdered. To anyone who has accused me/us of vilifying men as a group: analysis of the rampant forces that keep women from speaking about assault should not scare you. It should excite you, because you will have happier, more engaged and empowered partners who trust you and open up to you. I fucking love men, I want to be in dialogue with men. And Tom Meagher used his wife's unspeakable death to create dialogue, so bless the fuck out of him."
The Tom Meagher quote comes from an incredible blog post written in the wake of Jill's murder. She was abducted and killed walking home from a Brunswick pub back in 2012.
