If we assume she's using it as a way of conveying her message, rather than it being a hill she wants to die on, the method of messaging seems to have failed.

Saw a thing earlier which used an apparent American study to have firstly men and then women describe actions they take to prevent being attacked, abused or raped. In the men's column they said it's not something they think about it while in women's column there was a long list that included not going jogging at night, checking backseat before getting into a car, not going in lifts with a lone man/group of men, avoiding woods even in daytime, avoiding making eye contact with men when walking in the street...

I guess the curfew point, though apparently badly made, is what can men do to make that list for women much shorter/not exist?

Seen something similar a few years ago where women were asked what they'd do if for 1 day men didn't exist. Vast majority said go for walk, walk in a national park, walk at night.

I feel bad that Women feel that way, but do question if the potential threat justifies the need to be living in fear. Maybe I am naïve, but I did lots of backpacking through Asia, Europe and North America in my early twenties. I met many fellow like minded backpackers, mainly in hostels who were solo girl travelers in their early twenties.

Unfortunately I am sure some of them did have negative experiences (as did I) but on the whole I never heard of anything genuinely bad happening and they had all the positive memories and benefits that solo travelling around the world provides, I would encourage my daughter to have similar experiences, I would worry of course but I also realise that the threat is small in comparison to the damage wrapping her up in cotton wool would do.

Sludge can hopefully shed some light on this.
He’s been under a 6pm curfew around the Bridgend area for yrs.

Nobody would argue with her concern for women's safety on the streets at night but her proposal to introduce a 6pm curfew for men tells me one thing. She's absolutely bonkers

Are you taking the piss or genuinely not understanding the point? It's a metaphor mate

Re: 6PM Curfew - for Men.?

As men we have to think what can we do differently to make the area safer for women.

There’s not a huge amount we can do apart from encourage spending on police, street lighting and probably speaking up when other men are being ****s

Most already do that so there’s not much that we can really do. Such a shame but it’s just life. There’s a lot of nutters out there

Mad statement, unless you're being ironic?

I don’t think this is the case is it

Agreed, the same applies to women too. People are incentivised to not challenge authority and not create waves, people are quite often publicly ostracised for standing up for what they believe in.

The issue as usual is that some people will misinterpret the point as a serious policy proposal and then eventually that will get used the 'anti woke' lot to belittle the actual issue.

rapists are gonna rape, murderers are gonna murder. There's nothing we can do about that as our punishment of criminals doesn't stop the crime itself.

what could you have done to stop this latest murder?

incidentally, the single biggest demographic that are the victims of murder and children under 1. Infanticide caused by post partum depression in women is higher than any other form of murder. Should we take all new borns off women just to be safe?

sounds daft doesn't it.

Re: 6PM Curfew - for Men.?

Does this mean, if you are in the pub at 6pm, you gotta stay there till the morning !?

It'll lead to a lot of alcoholism and divorces !
