Yea, your willingness to hate white people to the point you literally fetishise backwards cultures where they see nothing at all wrong with sexual harassment and rape. Even when women are suffering tremendously under the results of your misguided white-saviour complex you still can’t understand your errors of judgment.
British Transport Police (BTP) received 421 reports of harassment between April and October, up from 259 over the same period in 2019.
I have no idea how to put these numbers or that percentage into perspective. Of course, even one case is one too much, I just don’t know what’s the threshold where people can feel safe or how it compares to just walking on the street or whatnot.
But I imagine being harrased on a moving and often crowded train where you limited option to remove yourself from the event. While also facing fear the passengers will judge you rather then the harrassor.
I strongly suspect it’s underreported as well. Speak to enough women and you hear distressingly familiar stories about public harassment. I think attitudes have improved somewhat since my mum’s days (avoiding being grouped on the train to school was apparently just one of those things) but still has a long way to go.
I view that statistic in reality as 6 people, I’m assuming mostly women, getting sexually harassed every day, creating a culture of harassment that even if you don’t get harassed that day, you know that half a dozen other people just like you were sexually harassed that day, and yesterday, and tomorrow.
By putting up that sign of awareness, hopefully fewer people will view reporting sexual harassment or mentioning it at all as taboo so that everyone can help push the number back down and further down past prepandemic levels.
Apparently sexual harassment on public transportation in the UK has risen by 63% since 2019:

I wonder what else has increased significantly during that time…
Racism, apparently

Idk sounds pretty racist
I bet it does to you.
I have been harassed and abused by white men waaayyy more than I have by black or brown men. And that’s even with living in very diverse places.
Immigration is not the problem. Men are. But I guess you’re going to get triggered by that kind of broad generalisation huh?
You appear to understand that even if that is how you personally feel it isn’t the actual truth of the world.
Lots of new neo-Nazi groups.
Inflation is way up.
Dog whistles are becoming increasingly popular
Olive oil prices have increased by over 50% the last few years.
Stand up paddle boarding is showing an 800% increase in interest said the UK.

Damn olive oil, with its great taste and antioxidants!

Male so my view is at best a guess.

Likely means any event is more stressful.

I think less than one case is probably the goal.
