The group's goal is to prevent something like this happening again with talks about cameras not working? For some reason I don't think that if there were working cameras in the park this wouldn't have happened. IMO the group needs to be be talking about other things that could prevent this from happening again. The elephant in the room seems to be ignored, in this case.
BTW, the cameras are a big issue. I wish there were cameras on that Delphi bridge, too... it is safety, and they are necessary.
As to the elephant in the room, it should not be ignored, because if it is, ML’s death is in vain, and no one learns from it.
While I fully support women’s decisions for autonomy, first, they, too, have to hear about the hazards of such a lifestyle, for themselves. My first though is, OK, a student does it for a couple of years, then pays off student loans, gets married, what about the simplest consequences, such as STD’s, and her childbearing?
Does the lifestyle affect the quality of her education? Can she find a decent partner later, or will the experience leave her looking for “marrying upward”? (And we know fairy tales almost never happen). Does it increase her chance of staying alone later in life, because being “spoiled” is one thing, marrying someone out of your league is very different?
Or is the SB trend good, as some “incels” who might have the money but no stamina to date can use SB pool and get some experience? (Might be the case).
Last but not least, imagine we, the mothers, have daughters who want to try it. What should we tell them, what advices might we give to them? With our life experience? It is all important.
Either blaming ML or saying it is good, given how it ended, is wrong, but since the trend exists, let us explore it.
