In the Times today.
As usual, a clear piece, and anticipating whining comments from men re wolf whistling etc which hopefully they'll heed (I've not looked at them yet)

Some very patient commenters keep pointing out that when women kill 2 men a week they might have a point

I am going to commit this to memory. I wish I had thought of it earlier this week when an earnest young man told me that men wouldn't NEED to access women's refuges if there were enough for the poor men, who are just as much at risk...

Great article but the comments have now been swamped with the predictable, “but women abuse too” “not all men” and “why should women have special treatment in law”. Rage inducing. Some very patient commenters keep pointing out that when women kill 2 men a week they might have a point.

I read this a couple of hrs ago. Another great piece by Janice and comments at that point were fairly sensible. I was also heartened by the Twitter replies to the club that was on the verge of signing the footballer. Almost all men being absolutely disgusted by the fact that they'd even consider it.
