Men commit 99% of all rapes and sexual assaults.

Men (and young men) commit 95-98% of school shootings.

Men commit 90% of all violent crime in the UK.

These are not female crimes, and should never, ever be reported - or recorded - as such. It can safely be assumed in any of the above circumstances that a male person was the perpetrator.

Is this an anti-men thread or an anti-trans thread? Just so we're all clear.

I want to know whether we're using this info as a justification to not allow men to work in caring professions or not to allow trans women to pee in the same toilets this time round. For clarity, you understand. Cheers.

You are being transphobic there. 🙊

You quite literally disappeared 50% of that small subclass of the population.

In just one line they ceased to exist💅

Go on then, list violent men who have committed similar crimes.

So if a female shoots up a school, which they have done in the past, it shouldn't be reported as a female perpetrator?

Women don't sexually assault? Tell that to my brother in law who's ex wife sexually assaulted him and is in prison for it.

I get what you are saying but to say that they should never be recorded as females committing those crimes, even if they do commit them is a bit of a reach don't you think?

Not sure my BIL would appreciate it if his wife was recorded as a male perpetrator.

95% of mass shooting events are undertaken by men.

Was with you till this. Women really do commit violent crime. U just need to google. Yes definitely not to the same degree as men but they are still violent. They still murder.

woman commit 10% of violent crimes, whilst woman can be and do commit these crimes - its nowhere near at the rate of men. 30% of woman are in prison for violent crimes

Its a fuck off with the simpering "women are violent too" when if you actually put all the violent men and women in the world together in a mixed group you'd be hard pushed to actually single out a woman thread.

I’d be interested to hear more about this ‘poll’, Where was it taken and how many people took part. If reform released it as part of their campaign, I doubt very much it’s accurate.
Let’s say it is accurate then YES, I would say that 33% or men and 22% of women do not understand facts, statistics and evidence - because if you did, you would not vote for reform, obviously.
Look at the US and the absolute mong that is in power there. How did he get voted in? By men and women who are clearly very easily manipulated and have no interest in evidence, facts or statistics!

Its a yougov and statista poll (which I have not heard of so cannot vouch for accuracy).

Theres nothing "obvious" about a vote for Reform requiring that you don't understand facts, statistics or evidence. That's just your assumption and you know what they say happens to people who assume....

What facts statistics and evidence do you assume that you are required to have an inability to understand, as a Reform voter?

Anti-violent men, though.

Because men who rape women are now calling themselves women and thus recorded as a crime by a female.
The recent school shooter was described as a woman initially thus recorded as a crime by a female.
The point she is making is that these are not women as it is mostly men who commit these crimes.

That is sadly not a new phenomenon, there was the high profile case of the male rapist in Scotland who suddenly had a sex change and ended up in a women's prison.

Common sense seems to be lacking in that respect in my mind - men should be in mens prisons, regardless of self identification - putting a man in a female prison, particularly one with a conviction of violent crimes towards women is putting the female prisoners at risk.

Same as we men should not be in the women's loos regardless of how some identify - but it seems a very simple thing is very difficult to get sorted!

ThejoyofNC · 13/02/2026 16:44

Maybe we should fill the women's prisons with men then? Seeing as they're just sat there empty.

69% of women are in prison for a non-violent offence, women are more likely than men to receive custodial sentences for nonviolent crimes than men, with longer sentences. Women only account for approximately 5% of the prison population.

No women can’t rape. The definition of rape is with a penis. Women can be charged with rape if they aid a penis haver (male).

KillTheTurkey · 13/02/2026 16:45

Women don’t commit violent crime, on the whole. Women are in prison for lesser crimes.

I’ve clearly failed to explain this in simple enough terms. Still.

There are less women's prisons than men's because of the difference in offending rates. This causes issues with women being further away from family/children for visiting etc than men.
