I did see the stats today and they are shocking, every 3 days in the UK a woman is murdered by a man. I hadn't even heard about the teenager in South Wales

The male curfew was a glib comment to highlight how unfair it is to ask women to stay at home. It was not a serious suggestion.
An MP read out all the names of women who have been killed in the last year in these sorts of situations and it’s over 5 minutes worth! You just wouldn’t even think about it with lockdown (domestic violence yes but not walking in the street)I did see the stats today and they are shocking, every 3 days in the UK a woman is murdered by a man.

Totally agree with all of that along with the fact he was an officer has made it harder to comprehend to me then ever
The only person who could say for certain what happened was Sarah as I'm damned sure the cop won't tell the truth. It'll be his version and she can't put her story across which is such a shame.
It shouldn't matter where she'd been and who she'd seen. Would we be having this conversation about her movements before her disappearance if we weren't in lockdown?
I hope that it was at least quick for her and she didn't realise what was happening.

Yeah, I think it's obvious she wasn't serious (wouldn't it be great on occasion though!) but it was a way of turning the narrative on its head. Woman are always told what to do to avoid being attacked and grape when men don't have to live with those sort of restrictions. Or any restrictions actually! It's just turning the norm on its head and showing how ridiculous it is.
It seems so, because men are bleeping psychopaths.I don’t want a curfew for men I would just like it if men stopped raping and murdering womenIs that too much too ask for?
They need to do what they did in the good old days. Go to war and die.
He was a neighbour of my mums another unassuming quite bloke
I hadn't thought of it like this, makes sense. Thanks.
Men are kicking off about it, I'm not sure how to process that.
Isn't it terrible the way that the vast majority of murdered women don't even merit a small newspaper column? This number is horrific and hasn't come down in years. When are the powers that be wake up to this? It's not ok!I did see the stats today and they are shocking, every 3 days in the UK a woman is murdered by a man.

I am horrified. This happening to a woman is bad enough without the perpetrator being a police officer.
I have been thinking a lot about this, when I was at school for half a term all the girls in my year did self defence. The boys didn’t they did regular PE. During these classes we were taught what to do if attacked and grabbed in multiple different ways, ways to protect yourself like keeping hairspray next to the bed or in your bag, ways to throw people off by making your presence known whilst walking etc. The boys were not told how to make women feel comfortable, how to keep an eye out for women who are being followed, how to protect women. They were allowed to kick a ball around. Why is this the norm? Why are we teaching 14 year old girls how to protect themselves but not 14 year old boys how to not make women feel uncomfortable?
Back in the 80s when I was working in London I would often go out drinking after work. Sometimes I would get so drunk I couldn’t actually remember getting home, but I would wake up in the morning in my own bed. When I think about it now it horrifies me.God, it just makes me sick. As I mentioned above, the harrassment when I worked at a coffee shop. But I also think of situations I "put myself in" (i.e. going back to a guy's flat, someone coming to mine, walking home at night, etc) that could have been so dangerous...not because I did anything wrong but because women are so often murdered by random men. It scares me to think back to when I was a young woman at uni. Yet us women are always made to feel like we did something wrong and we did not!! Parents need to be educating their sons from a young age.
I’ve gone through my phone today and after almost all nights out regardless of what age I was, every nights ends with “I’m home”
I’ve so many photos on my phone of taxi license plates and ID numbers that I texted to someone just in case.
Crazy what we make women believe is normal isn’t it?
I said it in another thread earlier, women are conditioned by society from an early age to protect themselves. So much of what we do is about protecting ourselves and it becomes so second nature that we don’t even question how ducked up it is.

Not sure if it's mentioned in this thread yet but one of the papers interviewed a neighbour and they said there was ambulance outside the family home a few days before his arrest.
DV comes to my mind straight away.
Colleagues dishing out a bit of justice. That was my first thought when I heard about his injuries.
