Yet another young woman attacked by a male. When will it end?

To be fair, male on female violence has always "been a thing" too

Agreed. Where is the empathy for the women being attacked? Very incel vibes in some posts.

Which ones specifically give you the vibes?

Quote them there so we can exhibit them.

If a child of thirteen can commit just an attack, something is seriously wrong. Posters ask what can be done : birch them.

I knew a guy, Rob was a tough fella as well, he got involved in a pub fight on the Isle of Man, he didn't start it but none the less he was arrested & sentenced to be birched. He told me, believe me, you wouldn't ever do anything if there was a chance you might get that again.

Give these scumbags ten strokes & if you get into trouble again then you'll get double.

You've used the key word here. Respect. It just seems to be lost on certain portions of our population. Respect for their teachers. Respect for the law. Respect for their neighbours. Respect for their parents. Respect for strangers going about their business.

When you have no respect for yourself you certainly don't worry about respecting others.

You are right but I wasn’t talking about army, there are lots of other options. An able bodied young person should not be allowed to do nothing after finishing school for life. Only a small minority of misbehaving youths have mental health issues. Remember lots of these end up being parents in their 20s. Behaviour issues have to be tackled fast. I don’t see any other solution. Mental health services will not solve this.

For those who are outraged that a conversation about a serious incident once again includes conversations about society (and in this case, men) in general.

This picture may explain the reason the conversation moves beyond just the narrow focus of an individual case.

While understandably, the incidents at the top get the most attention, they are built on the occurrence of less serious but more frequent events. And in many cases a single engagement escalates through these phases.

I'm a man I don't have to worry about these issues at all really, but for many women they experience them either directly or indirectly on a frequent basis and a key part of why they are so concerned, in my view, is that they don't know if a singular experience or event will stop at that level or escalate beyond it and so they have to deal with that fear of 'where is this going to go'.

Wouldn't any man be similarly concerned if they were likely to be exposed to uncomfortable situations which could escalate and more importantly, which they feel very vulnerable within.

A lot of the time around this conversation, I think there is a focus from men annoyed that there even is a conversation who only point at the top and say that there's nothing they can do about it. Aside from the fear of escalation that women have, there is also the real case of an individual who is committing such acts escalating through the layers over time and so cutting out the acts at the lower end may in fact ultimately mean there are less occurrences of acts at the higher end.

When I was decked at random in the city centre I don't recall there being much said about it in the media
