AIBU to be angry that my husband is unconcerned about women’s safety?

“No. The Pakistani grooming gangs were convicted so no one was let off”

many of those who facilitated them were never caught, records mysteriously went missing. No care for those children.

But there are plenty of cultures different to mainstream culture in the UK with so many legal immigration routes, so if you are onto against illegal immigration like you claim it’s surely having a nominal effect on safety in the UK.

No. The Pakistani grooming gangs were convicted so no one was let off.

Also, in the olden days they were called paedophile rings and they were made up of white men.

These guys look pretty white to me. And they raped 2 year olds. So yes. White men clearly need to hear this message too.

I have no time for this attitude. I was sexually assaulted repeatedly by a white British man who was in a position of responsibility. Noone would have been campaigning against him and noone will.

He has never been held accountable.

Women and girls safety is much more prevalent at the moment. This is what OP is talking about.

But you already know that and are just posting the usual whataboutery shite we get on every thread about violence towards WaG.

There's a thread on chat at the moment brainstorming and chatting about women's safety and ideas .

You will just be gaslit here, OP

I understand why you’re upset.

we live in the world where a 19-year-old boy had to say that he wasn’t racist with his dying breath. That’s how bad it is. That is all what posters will talk about here. They won’t listen to your concerns for your children or the logic behind them.

And I’m sure I’ll be branded racist too (although I would love to see women and children from those countries coming here in greater numbers instead), but I am a lifelong ‘leftie’. I’ve voted Labour since I was old enough to vote, I believe people should be able to claim asylum and be cared for and safe while doing so. But it is delusional to think there is no impact on the safety of women and girls when you move 1000 single men from countries with appalling attitudes towards women into small communities 🤷‍♀️

People are so worried about being branded racist that they are failing to grasp some of it I think. Look at the statistics Denmark keep about sexual offences perpetrated by non-Western men. They keep and publish them. Even with the limited statistics we keep in the UK, we know Afghan nationals for example are anywhere from 3-15 times more likely to commit sexual offences.

Some countries we accept male asylum seekers from have very deep-rooted and dangerous cultural attitudes towards women and girls, which includes sexual violence. It’s normalised to such an extent in some places that they will carry sexual attacks out in groups, because it’s a shared cultural attitude.

Of course Britain has plenty of rapists and sex offenders, but rape being a bad thing is part of the national conversation and culture in a way it isn’t in some other countries. Try get on public transport as a woman in some parts of India, it’s not just one man trying to grab you, it’s dozens.

Some of the young men coming to claim asylum are from cultures where rape, sexual assault, touching, kissing etc random women is accepted behaviour. It does a disservice to women of those countries to claim the UK is ‘just as bad’.

YABU for blaming immigrants when the vast VAST majority of the harm is done by white british men. It's easier to blame foreigners isn't it than the men around us?

Don't understand "criminal record anyone". What do you mean, that debating and issue about criminality means you must be a criminal? If so, is ridiculous.

He may be acknowledging that it’s a massive state of no change whatsoever. It has always been so, given the threat presented by the resident population, it continues to be so.

What do you think has changed? Why do you think his concern should have increased ?

Try South Africa

Where I live has some of the highest rates of femicide and domestic abuse in Western Europe.

I’m not sure what your whataboutery is really hoping to achieve. The situation in other countries does not prove anything when it comes to the so called culture of safety towards women, the child sexual abuse figures and the huge percentage of women who have been sexually assaulted easily show otherwise.

Do you worry about mens safety

You can't remove British men from this country. Unless you want to reintroduce the death penalty. However, it's easy enough NOT to import more men especial undocumented ones! Why is this so hard to understand? Criminal record anyone? Who knows??

He wouldn’t think I’m racist as we are black and are legal immigrants who work hard and are high paying tax payers.

That's the second time today I've read someone claiming they can't be racist because they're not white 🙄

Anyway OP, with regards to you not feeling protected by the government, women would still be raped without immigration.

The idea of the leaflet is to tackle the cultural difference that are in place. Sadly in some countries these things are still normal so by providing the information it’s helping those that enter the county understand the expectations here. Just like if I went to a Middle East country o would try to understand the expectations there.

Why is the fact that you're a high paying taxpayer pertinent?

You're really afraid to walk around anywhere?

Is he concerned about seeming racist? Some people have said these have been used to stir up hate towards certain people. Or that you're not talking about dangers towards everyone?

Have you been to India? Do you know it's the rape capital of the world? Afghanistan? Go live in those places and find out.

Cross posted - entirely agree.
