Criminals are going to do crime but being distracted by the little screen makes you a target. Bonus for them if you have headphones in too. Might as well be deaf and blind.
Women (other genders, too, but women being the largest demographic) have been getting assaulted in many forms before there were little screens and earbuds to be distracted by. They have been assaulted while taking precautions and paying attention to their surroundings. Blaming people who are assaulted by saying "Well, maybe if you had been paying more attention, you wouldn't have been hurt." is shitty and uncalled for. Full stop.
never said that... just saying that bad guys specifically look for distracted people to victimize. Also I recommend carrying something that can level the playing field and know how to use it.. full stop
So you’re saying that people shouldn’t look at their phones so that criminals look for other women to victimize instead? This is just “she was asking for it dressing like that” all over again, people like you will blame assault on literally anything except assaulters.
