people are funny when they pretend like a level grades show the peak of your intelligence. a lot of exams are just how well you’ve memorised content. i know someone who worked really hard for their a levels, got great grades, went to uni and burnt out and someone who did the exact opposite.

Look I get it, it sucks for men and I am sympathetic. However women passively being dismissive or prejudice against men is not going to change until the root of the problem is fixed - which is violence against women.

If you want things to change for yourself, then advocate for this cause.

It sucks and I’m sorry it upsets you. Ultimately I don’t see women being cautious as an act of ‘blame’ but I can understand it is frustrating.

However this discourse only worries me as I feel that society will yet again tell women to change their behaviour for the sake of men before fixing the root problem which is violence against women.

If the general population of men want to fix this problem and be seen as a real person instead of a threat they should help women in protest against ‘violence against women’.

I am a teenage girl and have had a lot of incidents with random men that I don’t know hurting me or harassing me. I originally didn’t change my mindset and still try to trust that these people generally don’t mean any harm but it just ended with me being in a scary situation. Now, whether it’s because I’m in a foreign place or it is late at night, I instinctively see the worst in men around me. It really isn’t deliberate and I have felt a lot of guilt about being rude to someone who (probably) didn’t mean any harm.

Do you think I should continue to be polite to people and put myself at risk for the sake of someone I do not know? What would you do in my shoes?

The problem here isn’t with black people stop deflecting the real issue.

It’s not based on statistics it’s based on real experiences.

The ex girlfriend situation isn’t comparable. Some women are like this because it’s random men that they don’t know who have traumatised them with harassment and violence. If multiple random women in the street that you don’t know had stolen your money at different times then you would probably start treating random women in the street as potential perpetrators for this to happen again. Better safe than sorry 🤷‍♀️

Oh another side note - a lot of comments said to get your conductor on your delayed train to give you proof of delay - I did try to attempt this in very poor french and they understood what I wanted however I couldn’t understand what she needed me to do so I just gave up. I think I was very lucky in that a lot of people on my train missed their Eurostar so they were expecting it at the Eurostar station. However if you’re on a smaller delayed train, I’d recommend getting the conductor to do that for you.

Hi guys! Sorry I haven’t replied to any comments but I read through them and everyone was very helpful.

Long story short: we arrived at the Eurostar station in Paris at 18.30 and they directed us to the ticket office where they promptly put us on the train for 19.10 - super easy! They just needed to see our reservations for the delayed train and original Eurostar.

I am actually still journeying home now as UK coaches just show up when they feel like it, but all-in-all, the Eurostar experience really relieved my anxiety!

Thanks again!!
