I bet they teach all the kids to be careful while crossing the road. And I bet they also ask parents to be careful driving & parking near school, support measures like yellow zigzags near the gates or 20mph limits with speed humps, and call for enforcement. Because you don't just mitigate a risk from one end when you can influence both.

But it needs to be taken a step beyond that, into *why* we feel that way, and the fact that shouldn't have to, and wouldn't have to if men weren't a threat. Otherwise it's too easy to fall into victim blaming when a women doesn't perform all the necessary defences.

Me: What was he doing out attacking people who were just trying to get home?
Mum: ...
