'I just want to thank the Academy for not being mortally offended by the words 'Women' and 'Talking' so close together like that' — Sarah Polley, upon accepting the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for 'Women Talking' #Oscars

Women Talking is one of my favourite films of 2023. It is told with precision, care and nuance. Rarely are films about sexual violence and community betrayal like this - one that does not focus on what is done to us as women but on how we heal, grieve and fight.

Sexual violence within families is rarely discussed. How we fail one another, how we are forced to protect those that harm us for the “good of the community,” and how we feel betrayed by those that are supposed to love us.

While Peterson should be free to build his hateful little "free speech" empire, it's especially concerning to see one of our top elected officials idolize him with “Men Going Their Own Way” tags in tow. Hope victims of yesterday's attack heal quickly. globalnews.ca/news/9799815/u…
