Rip to the 19 year old canadian murdered
To the 21 year old mother murdered by her 47 year old boyfriend
To the 30 something murdered by her ex husband because she blew a kiss to her new boyfriend on tiktok Angry

These are the ones who made the front page- there will be others who didn’t

I was just reading about the Canadian teenager Ashley. She was so tiny next to the man who has been charged with her murder. I feel so sad for her and her family. It is an utter tragedy.
As you say there are so many more who don't make the news Sad

Hard to know what to say …

Silverswirl · 03/02/2022 09:23

Awful. All the time they are stronger than us, I can’t see much changing. Not really. 😭

DoubleYouOhEmAyEn · 03/02/2022 09:24

Unrelenting. Thanks for the thread, I will say a prayer for them all. And the ones yet to come.

It is relentless and so depressing know that there will be many more. Really feel for all their families.

Shock just now reading about a man being awarded thousands of pounds from the NHS as they did not treat his injured hand quick enough. The injury he sustained whilst attacking his partner!

"Women have no idea how much men hate them" Germain Greer said this decades ago. She was correct then and she's correct now. RIP to those women whose lives have been so brutally taken.

kittensinthekitchen · 03/02/2022 09:39

Awful.

When will there be something done to stop men from killing women?!

Mollysocks · 03/02/2022 09:47

What is wrong with men, like, are men ok? Can we order a mass psychiatric study of them please because they’re just not right.

Octomore · 03/02/2022 09:48

It's relentless, and heartbreaking. That Germaine Greer quote upthread is chilling, but the more I see of the world, the more I know it to be true.

DueyCheatemAndHow · 03/02/2022 09:50

Babies and women seem to be being killed with unrelenting frequency.

LoseLooseLucy · 03/02/2022 09:52

It's just relentless isn't it. Makes me terrified that my daughter could enter a relationship with a man who turns out to be a monster 😩

carefreecardigans · 03/02/2022 09:56

Sad It makes me so angry, and yet nothing changes

Same here, she's only 5 and already i'm scared for future :-(

I worry on a daily basis about my 7 year old daughter leaving home when she’s older. I won’t be able to protect her at all times and I really worry about that.
Something needs to be done. I just feel hopeless and despairing about it all.

We can teach girls self defence and to look for red flags etc. It makes me very uneasy to think you don’t ever really know what people are capable of.

Just awful.

Men are the problem, but they are continually defended by other men and by many women.
Everyone needs to stop making excuses for men’s dangerous behaviour.
