about

"Generational grief’s discourse within feminism is something that I don’t believe gets paid much attention to. There’s been so much progress culturally around the education of sexual health, consent and intersectional feminism while I’ve been growing up. Unfortunately even within that progress - it feels as though a lot of disconnect surrounding the victim blaming narrative has stayed the same. The onus continuous to remain on the women to solve the problem of sexual assault / gendered violence and I notice that there is still a slight trace of resentment clashing between generations. There are all these conversations around how lucky my generation is that culturally, these topics are being spoken about and normalised in our lifetime. The reality surrounding that is most of these women and victims of sexual assault have carried this generational trauma and grief and passed it down. Men are learning about power dynamics and trying to be better but the women in this world have been left to pick up the pieces. More emotional labour, more time forgiving their perpetrators than themselves. Shame, that’s never been erased from family tree to family tree. Trauma that’s never been paid for and then becomes recycled on to our children.

Aftermath was a way to process how I felt about the conversation around sexual assault. I’ve been a bystander before because I was too scared to speak up, I’ve second guessed accusations because it was too painful to believe the truth or blocked out my own experiences because I didn’t want to admit that I was a victim. When you pride yourself on independence it’s really hard to paint yourself in that light, as not in control. When someone starts sharing their story it almost holds a mirror to you and your experiences that you’ve managed to bury, it’s triggering and so many women I know were never taught how to deal with that conversation or that trauma. I used to be so jarred by women my mother’s age in how little they spoke about their trauma and how little empathy they had sometimes for women/LGBTQ+ individuals younger than them. I soon realised that that’s how they processed their experiences and who was I to judge or ask of them to be anything more than okay with how they chose to deal with it at the time. If anything, I admire them now in a way I never used to. It fills me with more love and empathy than I could have imagined having when I carried so much anger and judgement. There’s so much I would like to unpack and so much I haven’t touched on yet but I guess the main point I was trying to make with the lyrics of this song, was to stop people trying to convince women to fix a problem they didn’t create and work on changing the narrative together." - Annie Dorrett

lyrics

They’re all starting to confess,
But What do I do now with the reminiscents of this torn dress
When will my anger turn into faith, these old blue badges are still getting paid 
I don’t believe in anything anymore, nevertheless any kind of male reform 
He said good things come to those who wait 
So I’ll wait and wait and wait 

I’ve been to the parties 
I’ve worked in all the bars 
I’ve stood and been complacent 
I’ve watched them take it too far 

I’m just as afraid of the men that I know 
Than I am of these strangers 
I said I wanted to take it slow 
He said I thought you were an entertainer 

Good women don’t exist in this world 
There’s only wicked women, and little girls 
When the hell did I become so vain
We’re not protecting anybody just saving face 

Good women don’t exist in this world 
They only see wicked women, and little girls 
When will immorality take over me 
I’m bound and bonded and set to please 

Roll over, sit down, play nice 
Then they wonder why the bitch bites 
Good women don’t exist in this world 
The rest of us are only left to serve 

They’re all starting to confess 
But what do I do now 
With the reminiscents of this torn dress?
