I phrased it badly. His comment was along the lines of: "What are those lovely young ladies doing in that line of work anyway? They should be rescued and given office jobs!"

Rather than the eminently sensible: "Gosh, shouldn't they all be under armed guard to avoid the whole being dead thing at this moment in time?"

I do appreciate the underlying kindness of his statement. But it's the sort of good intention that'd make a great paving slab.
