Georgia Love says 'every man' plays a role in the wave of violence against women: 'They are part of the problem'
Georgia Love has weighed in on the 'national crisis' of male violence against women in Australia.
The former Bachelorette star, 34, took to social media on Tuesday to call out men who argue male violence in Australia does not involve them.
'If you have males in your life right now saying "not all men", arguing or whining that they're being attacked or who are angry about the vitriol and angst from the community towards men and the discussions around toxic male behaviours and patterns, please understand they are part of the problem,' she wrote on her Instagram Story.
'Anger from males on this topic is a major red flag and shouldn't be allowed to let slide without being called out.'
Georgia went on to offer advice for men and how they can support and help in changing the growing problem.

'Understanding, acceptance and positive male voices are what will help right now. Male anger and tiny, fragile egos are only creating a bigger divide and making others feel more afraid,' she added.
'No, not every man is capable of violence, assault or murder. But every man does have a role to play in changing what is happening.'
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese convened a National Cabinet meeting on Wednesday morning on the back of a spate of deaths in the first four months of 2024.

Speaking immediately after the meeting with the nation's state and territory leaders, Mr Albanese announced a suite of new measures to reduce violence, which he described as a 'scourge' on society.
The PM noted community concerns about 'toxic male views online', and 'young men's exposure to violent imagery' on the internet.
To combat this problem, the Prime Minister will 'introduce legislation to ban the creation and distribution of deep fake pornography'.
'Sharing sexually explicit material using artificial intelligence will also be subject to serious criminal penalties,' he added.

There has been an alarming number of crimes against women in 2024 in which men known to them have been charged over their deaths.
'One woman every four days. This is indeed a national crisis,' Mr Albanese said.
'Violence against women is not a women's problem to solve. It is a whole of society problem to solve. Men in particular have to take responsibility.'
Mr Albanese, along with Minister for Social Services Amanda Rishworth, announced a leaving violence program, which will receive $925million in funding in the May Budget.
Eligible women will be able to access up to $5,000 in financial support to leave abusive relationships.
