    Older women over 50 don't seem to feel this way?

    In relation to this there was a google doc written by New York female writer detailing her observations of men she meet or knew of to warn other women about men they might want to avoid for whatever reason wink wink

    See
    Maura donegans list I think
    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/13/sexual-harassment-****ty-media-men-list-examples

    Should women be allowed to compile such a black list and disperse it confidentially to their groups ?

    Who allows or disallows

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I suppose if the document or whatsapp group goes viral, it could become libellous

    I'm not saying that there hasn't always been controversial threads/posts on boards.ie, I'm just saying I'm noticing a far higher instance of them being posted by people who've only recently registered.

    Isnt this why Hook got fired?

    For pointing out that the world is full of rapists and thieves and general crazy people that you should be mindful of and not take unnecessary risks before all the snowflakes and SJWs starting accusing him of victim blaming?
    Should women be allowed to compile such a black list and disperse it confidentially to their groups ?

    Maybe they should just be taught to be adults and take basic safety precautions like the rest of us.

    We teach children not to talk to strangers but its okay for adults apparently.

    so-called equality has a lot to answer for, or rather the modern interpretation does.

    It's libellous, or not, whether it goes viral or not. So, what's your point?

    if you have to wonder about feeling unsafe, you're probably ok.

    It is an online forum. It's not like everyone else posting here is in the classroom with you.

    Reported for ageism.

    We’re you expecting no comments on your thread, though?

    When you come back, please refrain from posting like this. Banned.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    The vast majority of violence against women is carried out in their own homes, by people known to them.

    Talking to strangers is safe enough if you have a few wits about you.

    No it isn't really,
    The question is:

    "Should women be allowed to compile such a black list and disperse it confidentially to their groups ?"

    How do you police confidentially and private groups to "not allow" women
    :rolleyes:

    Have you seen that couple that drugged and raped thousands of women in the US? It's a very different world out there for women. Nobody's ever tried to drug and rape me. Drug and rob me yes, sadly. Remember that guy that tried to rape a woman who was jogging (was it Dublin) a while back? Nobody's ever tried to rape me while jogging; if anything people seem to get nervous if I'm jogging towards them. :o Don't get me started on the female friends who have said 'Don't park your car there...' I've never had a problem no matter where I've parked... ...apart from that one time somebody robbed the tax disc off my motorcycle.

    I'm not saying we're all out to murder and rape women, but they've got to be careful.
