Studies Show That Predators Target Women Based on One Thing
The Hidden Signal Most People Don’t Realize They Send : Many people assume that predators choose victims based on obvious factors like appearance, clothing, or age. Movies and social media often reinforce this belief. But psychological research suggests something very different. Studies in criminal psychology indicate that many predators look for one key signal above all others: vulnerability. This vulnerability is often communicated through body language, awareness, and behavioral cues—sometimes without the person even realizing it. Understanding this research is not about blaming victims. Instead, it is about understanding how predators think so people can better recognize and reduce risks in everyday situations.

International Women’s Day: the freedom not to be perfect
Today is International Women’s Day, and I’m writing this from the dining table while listening to Radio 3 Unwind. I’m sitting down with my laptop and a going-cold cup of tea, after Virginia Woolf’s famous essay A Room of One’s Own popped into my head. In it, she reflects that for a woman to write fiction, she needed two things: money and a room of her own (ideally with a door that closes). What she really meant, perhaps, was time to think and the freedom to exist inside her own mind.
