Unhealthy attitudes
The vulnerability of the "weaker sex" leaves them open to exploitation, violence and abuse which is largely a male issue.
It can only be addressed by a formidable male authority and a targetted socialisation process. The "stop it from the start" campaign is a cliche which may not compute in some social settings.
The younger they are, the less likely females are to overcome or protect themselves from physical, verbal, mental, psychological and emotional violence and denigration in a society with shifting values and mixed messages about women's roles and rights.
Teach and demonstrate that healthy relationships and attitudes, equality, power, respect and empathy towards each other.
Men confident in their masculinity, need never display predatory behaviour and violence toward women in any social setting.
Male predatory behaviour which exploits women, seeks revenge for a lack of personal accomplishment and poor social skills.
Isolated women are particularly vulnerable to predatory attacks. In local nightclub precincts, packs of young men hover and target vulnerable females, to prey on the isolated with impunity.
A young, intoxicated, disempowered woman is particularly at risk. Globally, violence, rape and murder are tools of men with unhealthy attitudes towards the vulnerable, empowered by perceived inequality of the sexes in a third millennium society.

Power, Krause clash on highway
Are you serious? A little bit of a band aid and more estates going in. You are all fools.

Evidently they cannot afford to upgrade the road. All the money has been spent in South Brisbane to keep Deputy Premier Jackie Trad elected.
- D. Murray, via Facebook
This road is a disgrace. Our state government is also a disgrace. They will most likely lose the next election and still nothing will happen. If you want this road fixed vote only for the party that promises it.

The council/government should not be able to approve all this housing and the Bromelton development without sufficient roads and highways.

Krause did absolutely nothing when in power.
