[QUOTE="Biggie, post: 404225, member: 24034"] This notion is also prevalent in the UK. The call for the police to prioritize safeguarding women and girls is often trumpeted, especially following a murder of a woman. The press, if she's deemed as worthy, then canonize the victim and hold the incident as the everyday dangers women face... et cetera. The most recent statistics (O.N.S stats year to March 2023, England and Wales) for homicides show that 416 men were murdered while 174 females were murdered. Of female adult victims, 45% were killed in a domestic setting, while 45% of male victims were killed by acquaintances or strangers. But still the call for the police to safeguard men and boys never happens. Women's safety is prioritized by the police even though men are in greater danger. The AA and RAC and other breakdown services will prioritize women motorists over men when arranging recovery. Being stranded is not safer if you are male. The idea that women are in constant danger is not shown in the ONS figures. [/QUOTE]
