I don’t think the reaction of women to violence against women is triggered by what’s seen as an increasing rate of violence. Whatever the media might suggest. Women just don't like seeing a regular feed about deaths or violence of other women at the hands of men

and they don’t much like seeing men try to wriggle out of it by talking about how women are abusive (they might be but they don’t kill their partners very often and provocation defence when they have done so after years suffering at the hands of their partners hasn’t worked too well). They don’t like seeing men blame sexual violence on women’s dress, or make up or walking home alone. They don’t much like men distracting the focus by arguing about whether the rate has gone up or down. they don’t much like men bsing about caring then avoiding the hard discussions. They don’t much like men who pretend they care, talk about how men shouldn’t be cowards, hit women or whatever and then talk about female breasts, bottoms or otherwise objectify them. Or talk about nagging and forget their own behaviour. They don’t like feeling unsafe. They don’t like thinking it’s dangerous to trust or like men. They don’t like that it is so readily turned back on them

violence of any kind is an abomination. Maybe it’s about more than violence against women. Maybe it’s about a culture where men think it’s ok to battle out disagreements, to allow a lack of self control, to think that it’s important to be right and ti fight for that. Maybe it’s about a society where winning matters more than being decent. Maybe it’s about not having tte skills to navigate disagreement, or a sense of entitlement that is out of control.

maybe we’d be better taking the focus off women and spend s little time learning how to be a good human, to be decent, to be kind and thoughtful. Maybe we should reevaluate the importance of a good community and commitment to community health and learn that individual rights taken extremes do not serve us well.

Maybe simply choosing the good men rather than the bad boys would see the rate go way way down and on seeing the lack of attention and success with woman the bad boys would slowly mend their ways.

An old crime punishment was exile. Exile the bad boys.

In some ways the old ways were the right ways.

These days a lot of good men get little attention from women. They are boring but at the same time would never hurt a fly.
