Sarah Everard: Missing 33-year old in South London

A ridiculous and nasty lie. I am a passionate antiracist and feminist. Please stop these personal attacks and engage with my points. Why do you think it is acceptable for women to live their lives in fear of male violence?

You have said a lot of racist things on the Coronavirus Megathread against white people - why do you think you keep getting those notifications from the mods?

Utter nonsense. I only advocate for equity, diversity and inclusion. If you think those ideas are 'racist and sexist' then I can only assume you feel oppressed due to women and BAME peoples taking up the space they have historically been denied for so long. I will no longer respond to a troll like you.

I was so upset when first hearing about this yesterday. We all need to do our bit to ensure people feel safe when walking the streets, and this doesn't include blaming women or blaming men.

I heard a shocking statistic that 97% of women in the UK have experienced sexual harassment - far too high.

What constitutes sexual harassment by the way? Would that be obvious things like assault, and things like groping, up-skirting, inappropriate action in a work place towards a female, and unwanted sexual comments?

I think it might be useful if men stop trying to explain what sexual harassment of women is.

Sexual harassment is when you are harassed but there is a sexual element to it. If the person mentions private parts (vagina, penis and the mouth) then it becomes sexual. The sexual harassment stat is still high but I feel it's actually lower, since some women probably weren't harassed at all but just misunderstood the situation and consider it as sexual harassment.

I was just asking because I wanted to gain a better understanding. Shall I not do that next time????


Okay. Sorry if you were offended by me asking I just want to get a better understanding of it all so if I speak to someone who has experienced something like this I can help them.

I was clarifying because someone said that they were talking to someone of a similar age who said their body looks hot and that it was sexual harassment, but I thought it would only be that if they continued to make inappropriate comments after being told it was uncomfortable the first time

Two different posters, I wasn't offended at all

I wasn't attacking you for asking at all. I was saying we women don't particularly enjoy the prospect of men rushing to answer your perfectly valid question.

I always thought that adult men making lewd comments at me such as asking to see my breasts as I walked home from school was sexual harassment.

But now that a man on the internet has told me I just misunderstood the situation, I realise my irrational female brain was wrong.

Here's a life tip: don't try to invalidate people's experiences of sexual harassment, it just makes you sound ignorant.

A lot of the social media posts on this have been a little bit embarrassing. Not people’s stories, just the posts of ‘text me when you get home’ etc as though that’s not just what everyone says to everyone?

I saw one earlier that listed 5 tips for keeping safe and it’s something I’ve done as standard since I was very young. Except for tucking my hair into my coat, which I must admit I’ve never heard a girl mention in real life.

One of the ones I saw earlier is that if a woman is walking towards you on a path, then the man should move out of the way. Didn’t society decide about 20 years ago that men shouldn’t do that as it belittles women and treats them differently to men?

Remains are that of Sarah Everard, confirmed by the Met.

A tragedy. From a night out at a friend's and a peaceful walk home, to an innocent woman who has had her life ripped from her by one, callous, evil and opportunistic excuse of a man.

My heart goes out to Sarah's family.
