Take Back the News

Not the point

Posted by Anna on July 17, 2007

The fact that a murdered woman did not heed warnings about not hitchhiking is absolutely irrevelent to her trial. It is not why she was killed. It does not make her murder alright, or lessen the responsibility of the man who killed her.

And also, I wish people would stop and think how restricted women’s lives would be (even more so than they already are) if they heeded every single safety warning given to them.
