Petition to stop male crime being reported as female crime

93 replies

Agerbilatemycardigan · 04/07/2018 22:31

After the recent tube station attack, there was an outcry by members of the public who objected to the way the attack was reported as being committed by women, when it was obvious that the attackers were male.

Please sign the below petition to stop this from happening in the future.

I’ve been lurking for long enough. Time to stick my head above the parapet and if anyone could tell me about how to use twitter then I’d be very grateful.
Fakebook friends reaction could be interesting

Well done for de-lurking. This is an issue that has brought many people out into the open.

Twitter's fairly simple. Just sign-up and follow people you're interested in. If you want to know which feminists to follow, DM me and I'll give you a few names.

Signed. As well as crime statistics, the right of the victim to have their experience recorded accurately matters.

Signed. This is hugely important.

Has someone put this on the wider site too?

You might want to start a thread with this on the Petitions board too - I'm not quite sure why but I think that's officially where petition links are supposed to go.

Waddle I was thinking maybe a link to this from the GRA petition thread might help too?

Errol great minds Grin (just dont finish the quote Wink )

I think MN may move this thread to petitions (they have moved petitions threads of mine before) although I dont think there is any reason we couldnt start another in there too.
Who's good a titles? (this title is perfect for here but not sure it will work as well as it pops up on active)

I'm not brilliant at condensing sentences (titles) Why use 1 word when you can use 50 billion Smile

I've also shared this on Twitter and as from a few minutes ago, there were almost 400 signatures. The original petition was asking for 100.

We're now looking at that in the rear view mirror.

Good thinking about getting it moved. Don't know why I didn't think of that..
