Unhelpful advice of the week (possibly more)

[sollers]

Bristol, in the aftermath of the murder of the landscape architect:

"Women should avoid going home alone after dark"

For crying out loud, it's dark before most people leave work! What else are they saying? "Women should avoid living on their own." "Women living on their own should not go to work". "Women living with someone else should chase around after work to meet up with their partner/flatmate etc, who quite possibly works different hours, before going home". "Women should tell their employers that until further notice they will be leaving work at about 3 pm" - oh, yes, I can see that one flying.

I'm assuming here that the murderer is male, but how about "Men should keep off the streets after dark. Any found out at that time will be taken in for questioning"?

Paging Golda Meir:

(When trying to deal with a series of assaults on women, one Minister suggested that women should not be allowed on the streets after dark.) Men are attacking the women, not the other way around. If there is going to be a curfew, let the men be locked up, not the women.

Absolutely!
