Talking about women's safety, and how men can help women feel safer at night, while exercising etc. Yes, men! Since most commentators seem to think the onus is on women to not do certain things, or change their clothing or avoid places, this is bloody refreshing. (To be fair, I vaguely remember Ben Elton saying something about crossing the road if he was behind a woman at night in the 90s. It didn't seem to catch on though.)

Interesting as cycling is not sure what a woman is and yet knows who to withhold funding from.

good for him. We need men to speak up

He's a good egg.

Well done Chris, a man who listened and understood.

I was particularly struck by him saying he realised the barrier was "people like me". Exactly the opposite of "not all men".
