Who the hell is Davina?
You continue to twist and distort in your misogynisyic world. Let me explain.
You, and people like you, are the problem. You fail to empathise with women who feel threatened by male behaviour. I am not talking about all men, but if you are a physically weak woman, and, yes, most women are physically weaker than most men, and some man is tracking behind you, what are your options?
You say, let them past, but that may bring on the confrontation. If he is well meaning, and empathetic, he will not walk shadowing a woman.
Even worse, it may be a group of yobbish males behind her. There is nobody around to help. What are her options? It is a game in which the chances of losing may be low, but the loss is huge. In the recent case, we don't know the circumstances, but the consequences were fatal.
My daughter told me recently that out running in a busy area, a car kerb crawled by her, then the male driver got out and asked for her number. She protested, and he then argued that he had the right to do this. What have we become as a nation, when a male can think this acceptable behaviour?
It is you, and your denial of a problem, that is the problem. What is seen as acceptable behaviour by some should be discouraged.
Finally, argue all you like about equality, but rape is predominantly a male crime. I can think of only one instance of a female being accused of rape. Women want equality of opportunities in work, sport, etc, not absolute equality, like you seem to think. They don't want equality in musculature, equality in penis length, they want the bias in our society removed. We men have the power to give them that, and also address their other concerns. It would be boorish not to.
