"Hey, Azmin. Nice magazine you got there!"
"Thanks, we try our best."
"So, what's this week's issue about?"
Normally, I'd say this week's SHOUT is about women's issues. But these last couple of weeks have made me rethink many previously held notions. What we often categorise as women's issues are mostly problems created by men. Somewhere in this magazine, one of our writers uses the word "systemic". And that's what it is, this week's SHOUT is about the systemic problem of sexual assault on women in our society. This week, it's about parents who have failed for far too long to bring up sons capable of breaking the cycle. This week, we talk about how men try to subvert the narrative when it comes to sexual assault, and the responsibility you need to take as a decent man in these dangerous times. The demons of patriarchy in pop culture are discussed, and we also evaluate the different methods of protest against all of this.
I'm proud of this week's SHOUT. It comes from a place of anger and resolve. This week's SHOUT is a reaction – a youthful, constructive reaction to this doomed world that we occupy.
