Once again the media is promoting an anti male campaign following the horrific death of a young celebrity. Women in positions of media power are demanding the right of women to be free to walk where and when they like in safety.
And in a perfect world they would be. But we don’t live in a perfect world. We are humans, with all the inherent failings that have existed since the beginning of human life, and if we value our women we take steps to protect them wherever possible. We don’t leave our houses unlocked or our cars sitting with the keys in the ignition because we rightly know that you cannot control the behaviour of other people. Surely we value our women more than our possessions?
And for those who demand we teach our men to treat women better, have they considered the fact that more children are killed by their mothers than women are killed by random strangers? Does that mean we have to demand our women treat children better and leave children in violent situations because they should be safe with their family?
Humans will always behave in ways society doesn’t approve off. Denying that fact just leaves vulnerable people open to attack and tragedy. Not just women but children and men as well

Like the post and thought behind it,see a white ribbon pledge person and very active in anti domestic violence field men haters are dirtying the water, right now call out the Victorian Police for? warning women to be careful!PC is an enemy to common sense always,yes some men are filth, some women too, but purely anti male stuff gets a run after every murder, bet nine in ten of us would gladly turn in such filth not support them.

Dear Big Nana,

Violence, will continue affecting
all of us and our communities if we don't change the culture
that feeds it.

We need to call it out - no matter who's doing it - If we
don't call it out - who will?

When we're exposed to people whose behaviour we feel is wrong
(male or female) we should call it out.

When we're exposed to bad behaviour - such as sexism, rigid
gender roles, stereotypes about masculinity and femininity,
or people talking aggressively or disrespectfully about
either men or women - including within male/female friendly
groups - we should call it out. Not support or excuse it.

This needs to start in our homes, schools, and social groups.
Instead of finger-pointing at each other - we need to just
call it out and make sure that it is understood - that this
behaviour is NOT acceptable. Only then will we make some headway.

Of course, in the meantime - we also need to drive it home to
our family members to take responsibility for their own
behaviour - and to not deliberately put themselves in harm's
way. Not to take unnecessary risks.

Well said Big Nana. Unfortunately this problem has been greatly increased by the bleeding hearts, who have managed to reduce the punishment for wrongdoing by youth to a mild frown. If the law came down like a ton of bricks on youthful crime, we would reduce adult crime dramatically.

I am continually to hear reports that some rapist or murderer had previous convictions for similar offences. These people should never have walked the streets again.

I am also getting very tired of the girls club that is the Queensland government today, using taxpayer dollars to promote women's liberation propaganda with their advertisements of domestic violence as a male dominated activity. They want to be careful that some don't decide that as they are tared with that broad brush, they might as well commit the crime.

Foxy, trying to change behaviour in people can only do so much. Some impulses are inherent. Some men are naturally more aggressive. Some women are naturally less nurturing. Some people are born with more violent tendencies than other.
Saying that natural behaviours can be trained away is like saying homosexuality can be trained away, or gender confusion.
Even under the most favourable conditions, society will still produce people who are violent, sociopathic, addicted to substances that make them violent, etc.
Naturally we hope every family tries to raise their children to be caring and considerate but as I said, it will never be perfect.
Telling young girls they have the right to dress how they like and do what they want is always going to end in tears.

Dear Big Nana,

I agree that you can't change some people but that
doesn't mean that we shouldn't call out bad behaviour.
If we can even have a small effect and influence by
doing so - it will still be better than not doing so.
Bad things happen if we turn a blind eye. And calling it
out just may influence the culture. In any case it would
be a good start. And also as I stated in my previous post,
people have to learn to also take responsibility for their
own actions - whether its the way they dress or where they
go at night - and that includes young men. Parking your
sports car in a bad neighbourhood is asking for trouble.
As is getting drunk or taking drugs.
