women’s only community please only comment if you identify as female or non binary
Far more adult women are murdered by adult men than vice versa. Women are high risk for violence and sexual abuse. We often face bullying at work.
What would help women’s safety?
We all know the tips for ourselves… text me when you get home, personal alarms, don’t walk late at night etc. But it doesn’t eliminate the threat.
Men can do a lot to keep women safe. Call out bad behaviour in other men, educate themselves on the risk we’re at, raise their kids well etc. I really think the last one is the most important… if children were raised well, the world would be a better place.
In terms of crime, I’d be interested to see research on the impact of male heavy juries on verdicts. Not to mention male heavy law staff including judges. I don’t feel crimes against women are treated seriously enough by the legal system
