yet we feel we should be able to walk through the darkest streets at all hours....
I cannot understand why women have this illusion that they should be safe walking the streets after dark and in the early hours of the morning by themselves.
Men do not suffer from this illusion, they know that if they are going to cross for example a paddock a park or an area that is not very well lite up there could be danger.
If men are alone in the city on a Saturday night in the early hours of the morning they know that they are an easy target for a mob of predators.
Is it that a woman's sense of danger is a couple of notches down from a man's sense of danger, in other words men can recognise a dangerous situation better than woman can.
Men do not think that they should be privileged to walk the streets at night all alone without any danger, like you said cods there are predators every where.
I have never heard a man say this to me, but women seem to say it all the time, that we should be safe walking around by ourselves at night.
Criminals are out there just waiting for the easiest of opportunities, a lone male or a lone female, for a group would make an easy target.
As can be seen in the news men get mugged, stabbed, hospitalized and sometimes killed all the time when out and about during the night, especially in the early hours of the morning.
So if men are being attacked on the street in the middle of the night why would women be any different.
its a fact didnt women march to the tune of TAKE BACK THE NIGHT....
... they live in HOPE ajax... whats wrong with that?..
you are looking for a reason to argue....take a look at the thread title ajax it is about women and violence and sadly its men that deal out that violence....
when men get attacked at night on the streets its by other men you dont see gangs of women running the streets and dropping men left right and centre do you?.....
so of course men wont whinge about the streets being dangerous its their fault.....
