How can women feel more safe?

There appears to have been a decrease in women's safety across Western and Nothern Europe in the last number of years. Many women are feeling more susceptible to being sexually assaulted.

What can we do to help women feel (and be) more safe?

I'd be especially interested to hear suggestions from women themselves seeing as they are the victims of this.

Bring severe penalties such as severing the assaulting male parts.
Castration is also an option
Spend loads of money on street lighting and cameras? Provide access to cheap/free self defense lessons to general public?

Nothing, it's ingrained into their mind that almost all men are rapist so maybe they get scared when they see one.
Whereas reality is quite different their view is what distorst what reality is and what they think is happening.

Of course punishing the men by castration or assaulting the paenus when they sexually assault someone is quite fine,
so what sort of punishment when women rape men? maybe ripping out the ovaries??? you can't have things one way and not the other.

Equality is what feminism strives for so everyone here must be on equal terms.

If we are to follow modern feminism, it should only be the men who are punished
Not slashing the budgets of the police?

I think it should only apply to white English men. Remember, migrant men only assualt women because they are traumatised or western culture is alien to them. They are not at fault, they are the real victims

Don't let in millions of military aged men from barbaric, medieval, tribal cultures where women's rights fit in somewhere between those of a dog and a goat. That would be my first guess.
Quit voting for police cuts.
Investment in better CCTV and street lighting.
Better urban design.
Compulsory self defense lessons.
Harsher punishment and higher conviction rates.
Better education.
I wonder when people will understand that not every culture outside western civilisation treats women badly and rape them all the time.

In fact, before colonialists came along to enforce the sexist and homophobic laws of the bible a lot of cultures believed women were sacred creatures because of their ability to give birth. Namely Native American, aboriginal and certain west African cultures.

A lot of them also had extremely awful views of women. This is regressive history, believing that the colonialists didn't represent an advance on the tribal cultures before them, in almost all circumstances they did, and in many respects still do today.
Cover them head-to-toe and lock them in the house. Only let them out with a male escort :yep:
For their own protection of course :ninja:

Do people think pepper spray should be legalised in the UK? Or do you think criminals would use this to their advantage?

Yes, equality! When one gender gets punished and the other doesn't!

I won't deny that in some ways they improved some tribal practices but you can't say in 'almost all circumstances' they did. That's not true.

It's not like they improved cultures that did treat women badly because at the time colonialists also treated women badly.
They were the ones that brought laws to criminalise homosexuality and I know for a fact that in my country homosexuality was seen as a normal part of life before colonialists came to tell us we were barbaric for practising 'sodomy'.

We can't act like colonialists were some sort of saving grace that we should be grateful for.
Love how men are painted as aggressive, lustful monsters who cannot control their urges.
Just **** off :biggrin:
Educate people about consent and respect
