Tears for those who have died & care for those who remain. Parents and friends: Due to the tragic deaths of Mollie Tibbetts and others, it should become a new given that no woman should go hiking or jogging on a trail by herself. May those who have been victimized Rest In Peace.

There is no blame here whatsoever. There is simply a mature appraisal of a serious problem in our midst.

You may not be intending to assign blame but the "no woman should ever _______ to stay safe" is steeped with implied blame for those who do dare to do what they should never. It is a toxic message. It is also a faulty assessment of where the real risks lie.

It is mature and responsible to assess risk & take reasonable precautions. It is not mature nor reasonable to tell women they should never walk into nature in solitude. Which is what you said. I am sure it comes from a place of love, please consider if that is what it conveys

I don't hear a tone of blame at all here. Reasonable caution seems appropriate here and is Wisdom!

yes, but there is too much band aid solutions-not addressing the core problem. need to deal with mental illness and violence
