No real point to this thread and I know threads can't be started about every instance of male violence against women and girls (even the ones which actually get reported) but yet another abhorrent case of a man attacking a woman entirely unknown to him.

There really does seem to be a rise in male on female violence of the non sexual kind.

Absolutely horrific.

Fucking hell, that poor woman.

And the Telegraph is just reporting it as a 'stranger' - nicely gender neutral there - instead of using a headline about an unprovoked attack on a woman by a man.

Also in the news this week: the 'bagel murder'. A man died and 2 of his 3 sons inherited the family's lucrative bagel store. The 3rd son was upset about being cut out. Did he attack his father's grave? No. Did he attack either of his brothers? No. Did he murder his mother and sister? Oh yes. So, even where there are men who are far more obvious targets, it's the women who are attacked on their behalf.

And the newspapers STILL don't ever comment about male on female violence being the problem.

Indeed, as well as the regular sexual assaults. There have been a number of them I've read of recently but this one stands out as well, due to the unprovoked ferocity and the attacker still being at large (doubtful he'll ever be caught, these cases are quickly forgotten): www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/chiswick-assault-woman-19-shoved-to-ground-and-repeatedly-punched-in-random-attack-a3429646.html

That's horrendous KickAssAngel, I'd not read about that. Such hatred of women, in that case almost defaulting to violence against them when there's a grievance, seeing them as the possessions of the males to use to get back at them. Not sure I'm articulating this too well but this is so widespread.

i get what you mean. Angry men don't think "I'll get my own back on that man." Angry men think "I need someone to punish - where's the nearest female I want to pick on?"

A far worse example of this was the Canadian massacre in Montreal, where a man believed he wasn't getting enough sex because better looking men were ahead of him in the dating game. Clearly this was the fault of women, particularly feminists, so he killed 20 women because they deserved it.

I also think that when these things are done as murder suicides, the suicide at the end is because they know that society will punish them. If they genuinely believed that they'd done nothing wrong, and had the right to kill women, they wouldn't commit suicide. When men carry out murder for family 'honor' they don't commit suicide afterwards. So, the whole narrative in the press about 'he was so upset he killed himself and almost couldn't help it' is wrong as well. It's more that he was so angry that he killed women, but knew he wouldn't get away with it so committed suicide.
