Another Woman Murdered in Dublin

I dunno. I mean... my view would get me deemed a "pick me" girl on Twitter (when I'm more of a feminist than some of that lot are) but why are people acting as though this (domestic violence culminating in murder/rare cases where the woman is attacked and killed by a random man or a man she barely knows) is a new thing? Why are people acting as though it's extremely dangerous for a woman to walk to the shop up the street after dark? If there were endless cases of attacks on women just being out and about, I'd agree, but that simply isn't the case statistically. It is the case for women in some parts of the world unfortunately, but that's a world away from here.

Like *obviously* it's horrific. It means there is a minority of scumbags though - how the hell does demonising men in general help? Where is the logic to that? There's talk of a misogynistic culture - now there certainly is a grubby online culture for sure, but a misogynistic society is one like Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan, not Ireland ffs. Domestic abuse was *worse* in Ireland in the past - e.g. forcing yourself on your wife wasn't deemed rape until 1990. Ashling Murphy - that poor young woman's murder was by a lone maniac. Nobody was responsible but him.

I understand people wondering why no mention of men being murdered, but domestic abuse culminating in death obviously affects women a lot more. Men are at risk of violence in other contexts though for sure.

There will always be a minority of scumbags, and that's just unavoidable, so therefore - more resources for those experiencing domestic violence, so that they can leave the home safely; more resources invested in treating mental illness. And yes, teaching us women how to take care of ourselves - that is not victim blaming, it's an acknowledgement that no matter what is done, there will always be a minority of scumbags.

Telling men and boys they hold a level of accountability though - what on earth will that achieve? It's gonna stop the violent scumbags? Most men in my experience are intensely angered by men who assault women and have raped. People really get suckered into these distorted social media campaigns without questioning a thing. Lists of women found dead and people just blindly accepting they were all murdered.

And if there is a correlation between mass migration and such attacks - tough sh1t if you can't face up to that. It needs to be acknowledged whether convenient or not. That is not the same as blaming all immigrants.

I hate misogyny, but I also hate dishonesty.

It's a long post with loads of points but there's bound to be at least one scummy answer like the above. It bursts your bubble but I'm not the only woman who feels that way. I also have a huge problem with hardcore porn, which doesn't help matters. "Liberals" tend not to see that though.

Because I didn't give the opinion that he expects from ladies.

My post though was far more detailed and nuanced than just the usual whiney/whataboutery stuff that some men post.

Also, I'd need evidence that those tweeters are men pretending to be women. I regularly encounter women who post stuff I don't like but I don't just decide they're men.

There's definitely a trend online though of beardy leftwing men talking down to women.
