Special trans taxi services to keep them safe

[BuzzShitbagBobbly]

Hey BBC, where's our front-page promoted article and video interview about all the things women have done for and by each other, for centuries, to stay safe in public? No?

The "look at poor ickle us suffering from these things nobody has ever had to worry about before" is so infuriating. We have been living this shit forever.

If you're going to segregate yourself away from all men, you're going to find yourself in limited situations assuming you're in the UK.

Honestly, it's not even subtle now 🤣

Overall, fathers were significantly more likely to kill their children than mothers,

Oh so we're just making up shit as we go along now? I wish I was surprised

Indeed.

Overall, fathers were significantly more likely to kill their children than mothers, and were more likely to use violent methods of killing, have previous convictions for violent offences, perpetrate multiple killings

Don't evade the question. Why are you happy to be alone with a female stranger when there's a two percent chance that she will sexually assault you?

Hi. That's not how it works.

It would be 'If you are sexually assaulted, there is 2% risk that it would be a woman. And 98% risk that it would be a man'

Otherwise what you are saying is that there is a 98% chance of getting raped or sexually assaulted at any one point in the day. And that is obviously not true.

If you were sexually assaulted it would be a 98% chance that it would be a male, 2% chance that it would be a female [the cunty type].

If you were raped, it would be 100% that it was a male, and zero % that it was a female as in the UK, females [they cunty types] do not have penises and therefore cannot rape.

How the 2% statistic actually works is:

There are two cabs idling at the kerb, driven by a man & a woman respectively.

If you get into the cab driven by the man, your chance of being sexually assaulted is roughly 50x higher than if you choose the cab driven by the woman.

Equally, if you are a female taxi driver, picking up a male passenger exposes you to 50x the risk of transporting a woman.

Public service announcement!

Just squeezing past all the straw persons to say: the shapely bottom in the too-small red knickers was not linked with Rufus!!

I repeat, the shapely bottom in the too-small red knickers was not linked with Rufus!!

A simple cropping fail I fear.

(I see it is pointless trying explain a simple concept most of us understood by the age of 4 - but thanks to all the valiant posters trying 🙏 )

I don't think any of us are particularly explaining it to people on this thread. Or I'm certainly not.

I'm merely allowing them to do their own explaining.

What would you call it then if you refuse to be alone with a male, then datun if not segregating?

Thank you 2B

I repeat, the shapely bottom in the too-small red knickers was not linked with Rufus

I feel i should point out that i do actually have a shapely bottom...i wouldn't say its a good shape, but its a shape nonetheless

Wow, Roses and Kark still going strong on here today, like a pair of Duracell bunnies ( except they’re not pink and fluffy ☹️) .

That is called "freedom of association" in the law, r&r.

Depends on the circumstances, Roses.

If I'm meeting a male colleague in my office, I'd say it would be unusually risk averse - but understandable if I've reason to mistrust this particular colleague or had had a previous unpleasant experience in similar circumstances. Either way, if I don't feel safe, I should feel able to make alternative arrangements.

If I'm meeting a male student, having the door open & a colleague in the general vicinity is good safeguarding.

If I'm meeting my ex, I'd want an armoured tank between us.

If I'm getting into a taxi, I might reasonably prefer the driver to be a woman.

These pants rufus look uncomfortable on you

It's really interesting that nobody can answer and just resort to names and silliness
Telling.....
I've answered everything that's been thrown at me, really interesting that some are unable to answer questions at them..

cross posted with Purple, least someone can still engage properly

& if someone else has an entirely different set of boundaries with regard to strange men - maybe they never worry about taxis but are uncomfortable with workmen in their home - then that is for them to say.

Boundaries. Woman are allowed to have them.

The cheek

I do have PUMA

'Engages with Duracell bunnies', Roses. That's me

Well, Duracell bunnies is a new one, I'll take it lol

(Hang on - Rufus you were joking upthread weren’t you? I’m not English and sometimes get the humour cues wrong )

If you were serious, I will delete it straight away with apologies, of course

[PSA] because if other people have different boundaries to me, I can respect those boundaries even if I don’t understand them.

I don't mind being a battery. I think it suits me.

Although, I object to the assumption that I am not pink or fluffy.

(unlike those throwing strawman after strawman onto the bonfire of entitlement) 😬

No im joking love

I’m very rarely serious

Nobody has yet been able to answer my question as to why we shouldn't view every woman as a potential threat to her child, given that 70% of parents that murder their children are female.

Here in the US that number would be 70% of 450, which is the number of children FBI says are killed by parents annually. 311 million people, 160 million of them are women, 52 % of whom have children.

I quite like the term bonfire of entitlement I have to say.
