Ah thank you.
Yes he was a pillar of the community. We were quite a poor family and he was a level above us, a local councillor, senior at church too, regularly in the papers kissing babies and handing out turkeys at Xmas...
Sadly we have walked into scenarios where it has almost become about damage limitation, rather than dealing with the root cause. Female taxi drivers for female customers, ‘female only’ floors in hotels, priority service for females for car break...
This thread definitely brought out many strong emotions about a problem women, young and old, have had to deal with at some point in our lives. Even I got caught up in the moment with the use of the word “hassle-free” that made me feel like the...

Thing is...as Dani already said, if you...
If you are sensing danger you can be 100% sure the woman (or I) would be as well. There is no need to warn, we don’t need rescuing “in case something happens” just keep a watchful eye. Women have been dealing with sexual harassment most of our...
I00 percent agreed. However, my question is whether the people sensing danger should approach the female and warn them, risking rebuff especially in the case of a single male warning a single female.
