Imagine working in an office where the men routinely watch porn and openly call their mates over to look.
Imagine working alongside a colleague who sexually assaults three of his female colleagues on a night out but isn’t sacked, merely offered “advice about his behaviour”. Imagine that you daren’t complain about things like this, for fear of reprisals. Now imagine that these toxic men you work with have power not just over their colleagues but over all of us, including the power to stop cars on the street; and that some of them joke about deliberately targeting pretty female drivers, a practice they call “booty patrol”. Last of all, imagine knowing that whenever a woman dials 999 she runs a risk, however small, of a man like this turning up just when she is at her most acutely vulnerable.
