Empty It Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Giving women the confidence to start more fights, I reckon. Train them in bare knuckle boxing from a young age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Group of middle age men started on one of the girls who were out with them. My son and his friends tried to challenge them and they were knocked to f**k. Spent a week in the hospital, son got a fractured skull and a bleed on the brain. Thankfully he appears to have made a full recovery and I'm proud for what he and his mates did. Puts me to shame tbh. Glad to hear your laddie has made a full recovery - fractured skull and bleed on the brain sounds horrible. Meanwhile we have Throbber thinking mouthing off at a bunch of pished morons could all end with everyone having a sit down and a nice cup of tea. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Dispatches on channel 4 just now is looking at the scale of sexual misconduct by serving police officers. Scary stuff, and Scotland has some of the highest numbers of cases of officers being accused of inappropriate sexual misconduct in recent years yet none have been dismissed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not the kind of behaviour you would expect to encounter in St Andrews. Presumably this was reported to the police? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably this was reported to the police?It was, group of English guys up to play golf. Police traced them back to a hotel in St Andrews. Hopefully charges will be brought. Paramedics attended at the scene but my son refused to go to hospital. Spent the next two days throwing up before telling me what had happened. I just thought he had a hang over! Raced him down to ER as soon as he told me what had happened (got first aid training so know how serious throwing up is after a head injury). He was so lucky, amount of pain he must of been in before telling me doesn't bare thinking about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, right yer are hen. Perhaps you’re not getting it. It is a reaction to people saying that women shouldn’t go out alone at night, shouldn’t wear short skirts, should stay on the phone to friends while walking etc. It’s not a serious suggestion - it is showing the absurdity of expecting women to change their behaviour in order to protect themselves against men. But there again, given you are on a thread about violence against women and misogynist attitudes, coming out with “right yer are hen”, perhaps it’s not surprising that you’re not getting it.

scottsdad Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I do worry about my daughter. My eldest got through her teenage years OK without any incidents that I know of. My youngest (she's only 11 so this will hopefully be years away) is a bit more trusting and I do worry how she would react to being approached. I worry now, when she is 16 I'll be going doolally when she goes out. I guess most fathers are the same - a (female) friend of mine had her dad drive her to and from nightclubs when she was about 20. At the time I thought he was a mug for doing it - now I get it. I can see myself sitting in a car with a book and a thermos, like he did. Even so there is no rule that says all this happens to women on nights out or walking in the streets. My little cousin was murdered by her boyfriend almost 20 years ago at his house - where he lived with his parents. A lot of the stuff said here could come under this - respectable family, good upbringing and all that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
