Jacinta Allen,

I write to you:

A. as the grandson of a celebrity chef, Clarissa Fox, (my Nonna) who I believe could have been a granddaughter of one of the aboriginal cricket team of 1868

B. as the grandson of two distinguished theologians, Professor AC Fox (my puppa) and the Right Reverend JR Blanchard (my pop pop, who, with my gran, Doris Blanchard, attended Queeen Elisabeth’s coronation in Westminster Abbey)

and

C. as a now marginalised man who was a Registered Midwife in Victoria for 30 years

I ask you to:

A. recognise the seriousness of the Gender Suicide Gap of about 4 male deaths a day.. Lifeline reports that 75% of suicide deaths in Australia are male.

B. recognise that Australian lives lost to suicide outnumber female lives lost to “femicide” about 40 to 1 (based on the Lifeline Australia figure of 8.6 suicides a day there were probably about 1340 suicides to June 6 this year; according to Femicide Watch Australia on twitter there were 33 “femicides” in 2025 up to June 6; 1340 divided by 33 = 40.60)

C. commit to the people to reducing government and non government bullying and demonisation of men

The above is what you should do, Jacinta Allan.

What will you do?

Geoff Fox, Melbourne, Australia, June 18, 2025 the ninth anniversary of me writing to an ALP politician: “I believe there is an undeniable presence of gender bigotry and demonisation of men in our society including in Maribyrnong …….” and subsequently being arrested by Victoria Police to protect her from doing her job.
