Members of the Lincolnshire county council in England were
looking for ways to prevent sexual assault. One of their solutions was this
sign, posted in ladies’ rooms in pubs and bars: “Hi. I’m Angela. Are you on a
date that isn’t working out? Is your Tinder or POF (Plenty of Fish, an online
dating service) not who they said they were on their profile? Do you feel like
you’re not in a safe situation? Does it all feel a bit weird? If you go to the
bar and ask for ‘Angela,’ the bar staff will know you need some help getting
out of your situation and will call you a taxi or help you out discretely –
without too much fuss.” I’ve seen no word about whether or not this tactic has
been successful. But then, if I did, how discrete would it be?
