        When I was 13 walking down a country road, a car full of young men tried to kidnap me. I ran for my life, ending up diving into a dog house to hide. Thank God that dog covered for me or I’d be dead today. #BelieveWomen

        Sexism and crimes against women are two different things. Why have you mixed it up in one article?

        What about the many women who’ve never felt unsafe walking the streets by themselves, or the men who have?

        I bet they don't feel safe with a biological male undressing and sleeping alongside them, but Girlguides leadership push that despite knowing gilrs feel unsafe...and without parental knowledge. Cretinous

        Gender studies are ruining the societies. Is the society more sexist than it was 20 years ago? Some real feminists fought years ago and achieved great thngs. You' ll see more female CEOs if this is what you want but give it a few more years to come through. 1/2

        2/2 Women in engineering and science are 2x times more likely to get employed. Minorities are more likely to get employed. Do we want the best or do we want to point to people and say you became a manager because you are a woman or black or whatever?
