All crime docs are about men killing women!

Why isolate only one idea and your perception of that idea at that? I think many women in the world are already quite scared of men and I doubt OP is going to change that.

In general however, I think knowledge is power. Who knows what women are lurking on the thread, doing their own research into things and waking up? Time will tell.

@Anchorage56 I teach my sons the difference of a good man and an awful mam on a daily basis.
They listen to rap music and it is vile. The lyrics are all about pussy, how did she squeeze into those jeans with that booty, shes a gold digger, she has 3 babydaddies etc etc.. Objectifying and disrespectful. So, yeah. I teach them the difference. How to be a good man. And what not to be/say/view others.

@Anchorage56 The opposite actually. Not believing that it can be the majority of men is actually not helping anyone. The systems will not change if we don't point a bright light to it and call it out as it is.

I don't mean majority of men are murderers obviously. Majority are a varying level of decent/dodgy. I've seen very respectable family men get up to things they shouldn't. I mean, do you ever even read mumsnet?

Things that i do to change the dynamic:
-I don't laugh at sexist jokes
-I dont nod along or laugh at mens stories just because they expect it. Only if genuinely funny/entertaining
-I don't assume a gender based on profession
-I don't use my femaleness to get things for free/ discount / help
-I don't expect a man to come and sort my life /car /finances out for me.
-I don't flirt to get my way

So the idea that most men are horrid and we need to be scared of them is helping who exactly?

Two of the Strike books/episodes have female murderers. Out of seven.

That's a greater percentage than in real life.

Very leveling of JKRowling. 🤗

I am very glad there were people who decided to so something when my people were salves in the west indies. There will always, so long as we remain human, be some people who can not sleep on injustice. Not all will be able to achieve much in their own lifetimes but you never know who they might inspire or what changes they might be the progenitor off.

@Anchorage56 Why does it bother you that some posters seem angry and bitter? Are those not emotions not allowed for a woman? Or just not allowed in relation to the subject of violence and murder?

And just to clarify. You seemed to draw the perfect conclusion here yourself: Angry and bitter men murder. Angry and bitter women moan on a public forum. See?

I am aware that some people commit murder, rape etc but you cant walk around concentrating on that all the time. Life is tough. Bad things happen. People including women can be arseholes. You just have to make the best of it, make your life as good as it can be. You will never live in a world where bad things dont happen.

If you see injustice it is perfectly fine to be bitter, angry, unhappy etc etc about it. Depends how you channel it. But I do not see these emotions as flaws in women. For too long we have let men and it is mostly men shame us about perfectly naturally feelings of being subjected and subjected to sexism.

In general men channel their own bitterness in far more destructive forms. I am perfectly fine with them being bitter about their/other men's bad behaviours too though. They can join the club! Better yet they can speak to other men about it and actually be listened too.

I'm the only female in my house. I love the men in my life. However, im under no illusion that that they are capable of shit. Not respecting their wives, expecting them to put up with various behaviours etc.. I still have hope for my dc and im trying to raise them right, but the attitudes especially the older generation just stink.
Its 'not all men' but its too many of them.

And when we see women being constantly murdered in their homes, walking outside minding their business, walking their dogs etc.. We should get bitter! These men are husbands, brothers, fathers and sons! We cant collectively turn a blind eye and say 'Well MY husband is lovely, so i don't know what you're on about'

Well you can do all that without being angry and bitter. Remember its angry bitter men that we complain about.

Actually I think women need to be more bitter and even angry about this. I say let the division grow. Women need to choose themselves more and with higher self-esteem and respect choose men who see them as equals and treat them with respect. Let subpart men die lonely.

Yep, because it doesn't affect them, until it happens to someone they know. Women are watching to discover what makes them more likely to be a target and what kind of man does it, or clues. Sadly all men seem capable of it, given the right circumstances and they rarely seem to think of the consequences.

Yep, in our house it's only the women who watch them. The man rolls his eyes and goes to bed with a book.
