We have a real problem with masculinity

I have been thinking over the weekend about the tragic rape and murder of Aiia Maarsarwe and it struck me that we have a real problem with masculinity in our young men - a lack of it.

When I was the age of Aiia and her friends there is no way I would have let woman I knew travel home alone at midnight, let alone let her walk more than a km in the dark. I must have walked multiple dozens of my female friends and aquaintances home after a night out just to make sure they got home safely. There was nothing special about this as all my friends did the same thing - the idea that you would let some woman walk home alone after midnight was something that never crossed our minds.

Where were the friends of Aiia looking out for her welfare? Have the young men of Australia become such PC dills that they think it is OK for a defenceless woman to make her own way home alone at midnight? The problem is not sexist atitudes towards women, but a complete lack of masculinity in our young men.
