A woman in her 30s, who was arrested in Kent at the same time on suspicion of assisting an offender, has been released on bail until mid-April, the Met said. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-56367223
So women are sharing a phrase on instagram, “Let me know when you get home xx” like that shows the state of the world we live in and what women have to put up with. I’m a bloke in my 30s and my mum asks me to let her know when I get somewhere safely all the time
At the risk of sounding like one of the resident not606 serial killers, I'd love that to trend if I was a ****ing lunatic. Makes it very easy to copy someone's posting style, so that their loved ones think they're safe. Nice idea, poorly implemented.
how many times have these women not made it home? What's making them afraid? I think in certain places at certain times I walk looking over my shoulder.. Its your instinct saying look out for any weirdos and protect yourself at all costs
Do you not think you act like a weirdo on here, do you think what you write sometimes would make a woman feel comfortable in your presence reading the stuff you post?
Sorry mate that's not a lack of respect, but more the tragic reality of what these cowards go after. Everyone counts and everyone matters in my book
I think I probably assume I'm talking with lads and that's a mistake and a level of ignorance on my part, but on this thread I've not said anything unpleasant about women.
He’s partially correct on this occasion. The perception is crazy! If I’m seeing a friend that’s a girl. I just say let me know if they get home safely, just out of courtesy. Even if they’re driving 100% of the way. A text out of common courtesy is being turned into that the only reason this text is being sent is because they’re nutters about. It’s not true
I think you should highlight those statements bro. If you feel I'm truly disrespectful towards woman, I'll apologise. But I'd need evidence for that, as that wasn't my intention in the slightest. If I'm being honest, I think you misread it all and are doubling down as opposed to just saying "oh, I didn't get it."
I'm the same, I would always check someone has got home safely. I'm always conscious as well of any females that are walking home alone (avoid this happening if at all possible), we shouldn't have to live like that, but the reality as you highlight is we do.
Fair enough mate. It's just Jess read out the names of 100 dead women today in the commons, so I was probably being a tad sensitive.
