Actually we were discussing why 12-14 year old girls in the UK feel the need to carry knives and hatchets for their protection.

They don't is the real answer.

The media *loves* to exaggerate.

Lol.

Look, it happens. There is knife crime. Due to guns being illegal.

Is it as common as the media shouting about "knife epidemics" and "omg our little girls are carrying knives because they don't feel safe"? No.

I'd encourage you to look up statistics of knife crime in the Uk and see how many of those are girls aged 12-14.

Spoiler - not many.

What if I told you this has nothing to do with knife crime?

pretty sure the girls carry knives because of the epidemic of rape gangs, not because they're the ones committing knife crime

so AI isn't totally wrong that it's a safety issue, but it did kind of gloss over the real problem

Hatchets are designed to be one handed axes.
Seeing as the very first axes were unifacial hand axes what we call hatchets ARE axes and what we call axes are actuality two handed axes.

Bit like all of us I am much more used to current nomenclature.

Believe all women, except when the women are from the UK and/or they are under 15; which makes sense because those arent women, those are girls.

Gotcha, I'll update my notes on this one, I'm trying really hard to conform to these 2025 standards of being a good person.
