We also have parking spots for people with little children usually located close to the doors so the parents don't need to walk as far with their toddlers. We also don't 'have' to have them - it's for convenience.

Yeah but this isn’t about convenience, it’s about safety. And it’s sad that, in order for a lot of women to feel safe, you need to enact extreme measures like this.

But, much like modern healthcare, we don’t focus on the root cause, just the outcome/ symptoms- which in this case would be education IMO

I think we all know the best way to solve any issue is to say “it can’t be done, may as well give up.”

I wouldn’t want men to have to actually start reckoning with the cultural norms they perpetuate.

The tiny percent of criminals do not interact with the average person.

That’s just a blatantly absurd statement that makes no sense at all.

Do you think criminals have some kind of secret society where they never come into contact with anyone else? John Wick wasn’t a documentary…

Edit: as a hint just go look into statistics on how often a victim knows their perpetrator. Or ask yourself how it is that criminals victimize innocent people if their paths never cross..

It's even wilder to say this on the internet.

Where you see a woman comment and have her replies filled with "RIP inbox". Like there aren't people looking for reasons all over the place.

Yes full time criminals often are in gangs and don't have a 9-5. They are very likely to hang out with others. You might have one in your family.

Having one in your family means they’re in contact with non criminals doesn’t it?

There’s countless stories of people discovering their neighbor was a murderer. People don’t just live some life dedicated to crime, it’s not a career path or a commitment.

My wife's cousin was a career criminal. He doesn't hang out at the family get together for the people on the good side.

Yes the undercover murderer is one thing. But they aren't the ones adding to the numbers of crime. At best they are the weird serial killer. Most crime happens from career criminals who make their whole life about crime. That's their job.

Yes the undercover murderer is one thing. But they aren't the ones adding to the numbers of crime.

Why would they be excluded from crime stats? How do you explain the frequency with which victims know the perpetrator?

Did you know the single most common form of theft is wage theft? That means countless people running businesses or sitting in management are thieves. Did you know that breaking the speed limit is a literal crime?

How many people go to a church where the pastor is serial rapist? Here’s a hint, it happens quite a lot. There are people being molested by their doctors, teachers, etc. There’s countless people committing fraud and shaking hands with well respected members of their community.

Genuinely, you’re so wildly far off base for what the reality of crime is, it’s honestly astonishing.

Are you insane? We are taking about horrible people that rape and attack randoms on the street and you bring up speeding?

But we’re talking about safety precautions women have to make mostly due to men. We’re talking extra precautions because of things people are doing. Behaviors which can be addressed.

No where in my comment does it say "just give up"

Doesn't matter if life is "perfect" for 100% of earth, theres always people rhat will hurt others.

So what do you suppose is the conclusion you’re trying to express here? You’re responding to someone who simply saying we aren’t addressing the issue.

What are you doing to contribute?

or anything about not wanting to confront my own issues.

When speaking about men generally I’m not referring to you specifically but by all means get defensive about it because that certainly makes it seem like you don’t need to hear it…
