@Gusman Hah!
It's not the ones you don't know that a woman needs to fear.!!!
I've never feared walking alone at night.
Ypu just keep your wits about you, and lookeveryone in the eye that comes your way.
I've stopped a few that way, even stuck up a conversation.
The fear comes from much closer to home.
Why else do you think most of them go unreported.?

I fear you're right.
Many of us grew up in neighbourhoods where EVERYBODY knew WHO you were !
Through your parents or even your Grandparents ! Either via workplace or church or just neighbours !
So respect had to be given at all times and if you were ever in trouble, word would soon get round and people would offer all kinds of 'help'. And whatever it was, financial; social; ironing; shopping; gardening etc. it would get done without thought of favour !
These days folk fly by on the motorway slowing down to observe the car wreck and may even reach for their phone to take a PHOTO !
Instead of noting WHERE along the road the trouble IS and calling the emergency services. Or even STOPPING to help !
And politicians talk about 'citizenry' as though it's just another soundbite.

@Gusman You know what NEEDS to happen ?
Folk NEED to be OUTRAGED ! And outraged by knowing the RIGHT THING TO DO rather than just accept the crappy bullying techniques employed by current spin doctors when confronted !
It's all very well having a wealthy pleb like Trump or Merkel or May in office. Politics reduces to it's lowest common denominator on a fairly regular basis (Farage for example) but folk need to get OUTRAGED by things they KNOW are wrong because their Grandparents TAUGHT them it was ! And make it CLEAR to politicians (using legal means ! Letters. Phonecalls. E-mails. Media. Etc. that DECENCY is what they should be thinking in terms of. Not POLICY that divides !
