Love this. And will definitely use these in practise when my son grows up. He is almost 2 .
I never said marrying a British man was “bad”. By all accounts Ted Bundy was a lovely, charming guy, but there was something inherently wrong with him.
I know all about how women are treated by a minority of men. I have sisters, neices who are grown women and a great neice who will grow up having to deal with idiot men I want to smash on her behalf. I have believed for years that school teaches a lot of rubbish you don't need to know and will never use again and that a lot of the curriculum could be scrapped and more useful things that set you up for adult life could be taught instead and one of the things would be about how you treat others alongside mental health.
I'm sorry but I find your comment totally unacceptable and part of the problem. Before you sympathise with this woman's family and friends you make a point about not all men being bad. It's not the time or place to defend men. If you aren't bad then LISTEN right now. Men murdering men is no argument!
Thanks for highlighting the article. I’ve read it and am really pissed off. I think Janet has really missed the point here. Male on male crimes are taken seriously. Male on female crime is much less so - just look at all the stories people have shared where police / loved ones have shrugged it off & laughed? The fear is real, because you know if you’re grape/sexually assaulted you are going to face an uphill battle to get it through the courts & get a guilty verdict. Not to mention, your whole character and background gets assassinated. That’s if you’ve survived it in the first instance! The problem is with the way women are viewed as objects, not subjects and that’s the fundamental issue that needs to be addressed. So, thanks Janet for your stats, they don’t make me feel any safer in the slightest
Yes quite plausible. But there are websites for foreign women to seek BritConsidering they were both online, I think they both probably had their own agendas or were just lonely
I agree with most of what you have said entirely. Except for the unfair to discuss her. That’s where we will agree to disagree as she will be open to discussion and rightly so.
Do they really? That shocks me
Go back a read what all your posts have said on this thread, i think you're forgetting what you've written.
Sadly, yes, both in academic circles and casual encounters. Some of them treat me to this backhanded compliment even after I tell them that I'm an English major.
Sorry if anything I’ve said has offended you, that’s never my intention. I have the upmost respect for someone who can leave their home country, learn a new language and way of life to be with the person they love.
Just want to add to this, I believe there are some good children books based on consent.
That foreign spouses are more vulnerable to domestic abuse? Sadly thats true and I stand by it. It may not be the case for this lady, but we’re here to discuss the possibilities.
Absolutely, but I think people are discussing the context of the lie - did she know exactly what had happened to Sarah and lied, or was she just told to lie about something that didn't seem like a big deal?
'Not all men' is everywhere right now and it's completely taken me aback. It just demonstrates the level of the problem when this is the response of a huge amount of people after a woman was abducted and probably sexually assaulted and murdered by a serving police officer. My brain cannot unwrap this level of horror right now. But for people to respond to that by saying 'men kill men too' is just too much for me right now. I'm so bloody angry.
