Oh FFS. Has anyone heard the Woman's Hour feature on men sexually harrassing women in the street?

Some wanky bloke on it bleating that if it were treated the same way racial harrassment is treated, it's a restriction of free speech and would create a climate of fear for men.

Like the climate of fear for women is fine then...

Am gibbering with fury.

Yes, it would be such a loss to the country if men were no longer allowed to shout out ''show us yer tits then, love". He was an idiot.

Sorry I posted this at the same time as ladybiscuit's thread here

Too confusing with two threads, please post on that one!

I felt so sick with anger I had to turn him off.
Like many of his species he belittles and refutes the gender specific issues that women seem to have to put up with - because men who, dammit, control everything don't take us seriously. How many times have I tried to explain my experience of life to even 'nice' men only to be met (extraordinarily!) with rage and refusal to admit that I might possibly be right!
How dare he say that feminism has caused the repression and policing of men - if only t'were so! The world would be a far better place without the appalling behaviour of so many. When are we women going to make it happen? No one's going to do it for us!
