“A white attractive woman gone missing simply walking home from work, who didn’t have a boyfriend and led a dull ordinary life, will NEVER, and HAS NEVER, made national news” — that’s not true at all. Sarah Everard disappeared when walking home from a friend’s house in London, UK earlier this year and it didn’t just make local or national news, it made international news. I also think you might have missed the point I was trying to make, which isn’t that some political affiliations are covering this story more or less. It’s that almost exclusively paying attention to “white, attractive, non-overweight women” sends a clear message about whose lives we value, and what’s more, it is actually in our power to change that.
