BTW more news supporting the dumpster fire:
Physical attacks on women have surged a shocking 41% over the last four years, according to disturbing NYPD data obtained by The Post.
Through Oct. 1 this year, 2,830 women have been the victims of felony assault, excluding domestic violence, compared to 2,006 just four years ago.
The attacks, ranging from random subway shoves to vicious beatings, have jumped 5% from the same period last year, when 2,699 women were felony assault victims.
“It seemed like a while ago, it was old Asian people, and now it’s young women,” one 27-year-old told The Post, three weeks after a stranger sucker-punched her in the face at the West 4th Street subway station. “It feels like men just hate us.”
She ripped ex-Mayor Bill de Blasio and his comrades for pushing to empty the city’s jails during the pandemic and lashed out at city pols for passing legislation to cut down on the number of people in custody as part of its goal to close Rikers Island.
“They’re not being careful about who they’re letting out,” she said.

“There’s nowhere safe for them to go, so they are on the streets and they’re drug-addicted and they’re desperate for a sense of control and women are an easy target.”
Misdemeanor assaults, excluding domestic violence, against women have also risen 8% over the same period, from 8,008 in 2019 to 8,668 in 2023.
The tally is also up a troubling 12% compared to last year when 7,734 women were attacked.

Several victims agreed that women are more likely to be targeted for their small size and stature, but also blamed city and state politicians for passing legislation to allow more criminals to roam the streets — or for failing to provide sufficient services to drug addicts and mentally ill individuals to reduce the chances of them violently acting out.
“You could see a lot more people with mental illness out and about — it’s never been this bad,” said HR executive Gladys Chen, who was punched so hard by a crazed woman on the N/R/W platform at the 23rd Street station that her contact lens popped out of her eye.
