    massive welldone to Saoirse, its very real for us women. My husband often works nights and I hate I can't go out and walk my dogs after 4.30 during the winter out of fear.

    If parents made a bit of effort themselves they could find self defence classes in the local community. School can not constantly be responsible for teaching kids everything! Literally every other day you have a segment called “should schools teach…” ! How about “Should parents get their children to ….”

    More for the schools to do ffs. Instead of schools, why not invest in community centres that teach first aid, self defence, cooking and nutrition, etc. There could be voluntary contributions from the community and the government subsidise the rest. Stop with schools as scapegoats. Where in the timetable would this take place? What training would teachers get to teach this. Its nuts

      Get a grip on reality. Having it in schools makes it mandatory and everything we have in place so far, clearly isn't good enough. The aim is to prevent violence. Maybe think about the victims and cycles of abuse before worrying about the school timetables, tf. Could easily fit in PSHE

    Ever since seeing Saoirse play Hanna, I knew she would have something good to say on how physically empowering a woman can be and what she said on The Graham Norton Show indeed qualifies. Thank you, Saoirse.

      Men (not boys) think about safety all the time. It just sort of runs in the background. It's why we usually are cordial when meeting other men for the 1st time. That's because there is always an implied chance at violence. You talk to a man the wrong way and can get hands. Women, I don't think, understand this. Certainly not to the degree that men understand.

    Meine Klassenlehrerin war das damals (mitte der 90er Jahre) sehr wichtig. Nur die Mädchen in der Klasse haben ein Jahr lang jede Woche 4 Stunden Selbstverteidigung gehabt - dazu kamen mehrere Wochenenden die wir gemeinsam mit unserer Lehrerin sowie unserer Trainerin in der Schule verbracht haben. Das war das beste was uns Mädels damals mitgegeben wurde, mal abgesehen von allem anderen was wichtig war wie Mathe zum Beispiel. 😅😉 Ich kann mich und andere heute noch verteidigen, aufgrund von dem was ich damals gelernt habe. Wenn ich Mutter einer Tochter geworden wäre, hätte ich schon sehr früh damit begonnen ihr alles wichtige mit auf den Weg zu geben - plus die Kurse in Selbstverteidigung die ich mit ihr zusammen genommen hätte.
    Aber es reicht nicht nur den Mädels und Frauen all das beizubringen. Es fängt zu Hause bei den Jungs an. Dort müssen Mama und Papa alles tun, das ihr Sohn oder ihre Söhne nicht zum Täter werden.

      There is always one isn't there? It isn't a competition is it? Understanding the issue for women isn't minimising the issue for men is it? Making this comment is simply a derailing tactic to draw attention away from the actual problem of women having to think about every single day about how to defend themselves. This statement shows a complete lack of understanding or unwillingness to understand what that clip so beautifully showed - 3 men lightheartedly mocking defense methods because they don't have to worry at all about the chances of being attacked on a daily basis brought to silence by the Siorse who highlighted the reality of being a woman. Of course men get attacked, but it isn't something you think about all the time when you leave the house, when you walk across a park, when you walk to your car.

    But men are over 70% of victims so why do women act as if women are the 70%? You’re not, men are. Men always think about defending themselves and are at a much higher risk. Everyone should be treated equally not giving women preferential treatment.

    Self defense for women is not gonna do anything. An angry man is too intimidating. Everything a woman learns will get thrown out the window when a real situation happens.
    Find a good strong husband who's protective. And stop going after these "bad boys" and stop saying you don't need no man.
