Less than a year ago this woman lost her son when her estranged husband murdered him and then committed suicide by cop.
Since then she has become the darling of the leftist/feminist media here. Just weeks after the death of her son she was dolling herself up for the TV cameras and giving interviews. In most of her appearances she has a huge smile on her face, she does not look like a woman who has just lost her only son. She has been given awards left right and center and just today she just got awarded "Australian of the year".
Victorian of the year.
Pride of Australia Courage medal and loving the limelight. Does this look like a woman who has lost her only child just months ago?
My son is dead but I'm getting so much attention!
My dead son? This is about me me me!
Here's our girl getting emotional in front of the cameras and blaming the patriarchy.
Minutes later that big smile is back again!
What's most disturbing is that Rosie Batty is clearly being used by behind the scenes activists to push an anti-male feminist agenda and funnel money into their organizations. It's just like the White Ribbon campaign. She's talking about how men need to change their attitudes and how people must call out "sexism" when they see it.
How about women don't destroy their marriages and drive their husbands so insane they are willing to kill and be killed? The murder itself was obviously triggered (to use a SJW term) by Rosie's decision to deny her ex husband access to their son. The murder, while abhorrent, can be understood in this context. She was using the law to deny him his son, so he used violence to thwart her. If he couldn't have his son, nobody would. In any case if the husband was mentally ill isn't he a victim too?
Of course no media gushing like this happened when a woman killed eight (count em) eight! of her kids in Queensland just a few months ago. No national soul-searching about the causes of female violence against children. The woman who killed her eight kids was given a pass by the media, she was just insane and it was a terrible tragedy. End of story. The five different men who fathered her children were not given the Rosie Batty treatment by our media.

But what exactly is Rosie Batty using her new celebrity to campaign for? Murder has always been illegal. Violence is already illegal. It's clear, she is being used by the feminist establishment as a poster girl to push their anti-male narrative of emasculating, humiliating and removing authority and power from men. Rosie Batty is receiving money and fame for being a professional "victim" when at the end of the day it is her child and her ex husband who are dead.
Social Justice warriors are exploiting the death of this boy to extort money from the Australian taxpayer.
It's very difficult to find a succinct article that simply covers all the facts in this case in the gigantic pile of emotional diarrhea this story has generated. This is the best I could find: http://www.smh.com.au/good-weekend/mothe...1ld0f.html
