Prison does not remove those threats from society. I can't find the study now, I just looked on Google, but when I studied criminology a study we were all made to look at was one on recidivism studying offenders in Amsterdam ... which found:

It's a well recognised fact, however, that prison *is* worse for women, because there are so few women offenders, there are very few women's prisons. As a consequence, many prisoners are sent far from home, where visits from their family and their children become an impossibility. Furthermore, women are far more…

Well, if there is one thing I learnt from studying criminology, it's that you shouldn't be putting 95% of the people in prison in prison, except the tiny minority of 'high risk' offenders. It doesn't make them better, it only makes them worse criminals, and it ruins lives which (where they never put into prison) would…

A parent's kid screeching in my ear is not their business, it's my business. They have made it by bringing a screaming kid into my vicinity and not dealing with it. Seriously, this is not rocket science.

Beetroot is an incredible burger filling, to the point of being compulsory. Optional: a slice of pineapple.

It's fairly obvious that he will go through the acts of 'transitioning' when he is filming the movie. When he is studying the part, he could do that by going 'in character' at any point of the character's transition. That's gonna mean at one point putting on dresses, a wig, and make-up - assuming that at some point…

I really cannot imagine this article being written about an aspiring male star.

As a lesbian who I like to think has pretty good gaydar ... Few people set off my gaydar *less* than Taylor Swift. I can say with complete confidence that she is not gay.

Because they're not simply "attempting to be nice to you". They're engaging in gendered behaviour to communicate "I am attracted to you", and "I am entitled to your attention". They are being rude.

No dude, the fact he follows up with that shows he was a jackass from the very beginning. Anyone (always a man) who stops a stranger (always a woman) on the street and tries to 'get to know her' is always going to be a jackass, and women know that. It's not even that they're 'proved right' by the escalation. It's just…

"and the many many many stories of people having met as perfect strangers because one had the guts to approach the pretty stranger." Well, I'm only 23 years old but in my 23 years I haven't heard a single one.

I see no evidence that they were ever actually together.

Dude, no normal, fair minded person, would choke another person, let alone a man choking a woman who is presumably decisively physically weaker than him.

'Serial killers' in this context is clearly hyperbole. Literally, it is 'that the man will be a psycho'. And put like that, it is sadly a very realistic fear.

I would buy that in a heartbeat. (possibly my last heartbeat?)

I am seriously uncomfortable with the fact that this article is publishing the name and picture of an 8 year old victim of sexual abuse.

Black British people make up something like 3% of the population. There are only six pictures there, and not all of them are white.

I am a long-time user of the "poo stool" as it is known in my household. My mum was the first one to use it after being told to do so by her GP. Since I started using it I basically cannot crap without some kind of stool or stool-substitute. So there you go. OLD NEWS

Dude, no offence, but did you actually read any of the responses to your initial comment? Because you repeating this as if you're making a reasonable argument is actually bizarre.

I agree with this absolutely. Why? Because as a 23 year old (apparently *just* 'past my peak' according to this data), I can say without a shadow of a doubt that the people who say that 20 year olds are the 'most attractive' are basically ... wrong. Every single person, pretty much, that I have known from high school…
