Janice Turner: No, we women will not stay safe indoors

[Igneococcus]

I thought about adding it to one of the already existing threads but Janice deserves her own I think, as ever the voice of reason:

Great article

Janice always says it so well

Excellent article. Davina needs to read it.

“ A government task force on violence against women is needed to answer why rape prosecutions are so low that the victims’ commissioner Dame Vera Baird believes rape is effectively decriminalised.”

• Why do we not already have this? This is what we need and should be what we demand. How can we make this happen? I’ll start with writing to my MP.

Brave!

A great article, as always.

Brave ? What do you mean by that ?

Brava! But also brave

Agreed. Janice shines a light as always.

Presumably brave as she references men in drag being better protected than women.

Ah, I see. She speaks the truth

Great article, again, Janice.

It's quite stark isn't it.

In terms of crime statistics, young men are a greatest risk of violence.

But, we dont see stylish TV detective programmes about it, with lingering shots of their bodies and we dont see police telling young men to stay home.
Nor is there a general edit for young men to watch what they wear, or not walk home while drunk etc etc. You dont see groups of young men walking each other to their doors after a night out.

There is a societal indifference to the devaluation of women.

Another " brave" journalist.

And very moving too.

BLM protestors - sure, go head, we're right behind you
Women protestors - stay at home and behave yourselves
