Thank you for entirely proving my point.Nonsense. Don't tell me what my fears are. My fears are that my daughter us likely to be a victim of assault, of sexual assault, of abduction. If I had a son, he is less likely to be a victim.
Men experience higher rates of pretty much all physical violence except domestic abuse, rape and other sexual assault.Thank you for entirely proving my point.
All the crimes you describe are rare, and even less likely when the offender is a complete stranger.
When it comes to violence men are significantly more likely to be victims from the most minor of offences to the most significant - murder. Check the ONS crime data and you’ll see this for yourself.
Women are more likely to be subject to violence from a man, men are more likely to be subject to violence from a man than a woman, they're also more likely to be violent themselves (ie able to defend themselves from violence from men).Thank you for entirely proving my point.

Brilliantly said xMen experience higher rates of pretty much all physical violence except domestic abuse, rape and other sexual assault.
This is the same nonsense spouted by the "manosphere" sections of the internet all over and it all spectacularly misses the point.
The real issue here, as it nearly always comes down to, is the focus being on "keeping women safe" rather than "stopping men from committing violent acts".
If a persons mum and dad are both far from home in an unsafe place late at night and need to get home and You have the ability to get one of them home safely whilst the other would be left to make their own way home who would you grant safe passage too?Thank you for entirely proving my point.

I'm 38 years old. Last year I watched the Netflix documentary on Peter Sutcliffe, someone I obviously knew about but I'd never really seen any of the societal reaction to the murders and I was absolutely stunned to see how familiar it felt to the aftermath of Sarah Everard's death. Many of the vox pops with female members of the public from either time could easily be swapped and fit right in with the opposite era.To put a context on this less than 5% of the UK prison population is female and over 95% is male
So if you're a person who is more affraid/vulnerable to attack from a male (whether female or LGBTQIA+ or POC) then it highlights the extra police presence needed to keep all of these people safe.
I find it soul destroying that 40 years on from the era that I grew up in that as a society we still do not fully accept people for people and it saddens me even more to think that this equality for all will not still not be achieved in my lifetime if ever at all.
I'd been running around Bathpool park just previous to the Lesley Whittle Murder by Peter Sutcliffe. Made it even more scary!I'm 38 years old.

The vigils and protests from 2021 really felt like a paradigm shift to me as somebody who had never really seen (or recalled) anything like it before and so to then see those identical scenes from the 70s was a real "..... oh" moment for me.
To be fair to Peter Sutcliffe(..?), Lesley Whittle was killed by Donald Neilson.I'd been running around Bathpool park just previous to the Lesley Whittle Murder by Peter Sutcliffe. Made it even more scary!
Even now seeing Whittle coaches (don't think it's anything to do with original family firm....) as I drive down the motorway makes me go cold.
I know what my new signature quote is going to be when the antivaxxers have moved on... XDTo be fair to Peter Sutcliffe
Not words I ever expected to readTo be fair to Peter Sutcliffe
My fear is that the starting sequence to the original film Planet of the apes isn't about how it started but more about how the Human race will always be.I'm 38 years old.

When I first started full time work, my line manager was a woman, who made a massive deal about being a feminist.My fear is that the starting sequence to the original film Planet of the apes isn't about how it started but more about how the Human race will always be.
To look up to women and want to be chivalrous (as old fashioned as it may seem) is now deemed out dated and treated with great suspicion as it's so rare but for me it's as important as using my manners.
But still scary how the Human race pays lip service to equality but not on every level.
I do remember both cases fairly well.I know what my new signature quote is going to be when the antivaxxers have moved on... XD
