Is it time to do away with indecent exposure as a crime?

After all Mrs May sees no problem.

So in decent exposure disappears as a crime, what next? Should we get rid of rape as well, because the person refusing to grant consent is hurting the man’s feelings?
Maybe we should make assault, GBH and murder permissible in some cases as well on the grounds of self defence from literal violence?
Yeah yeah I know, whataboutery, but what about if the world actually is going mad?
Now I’m just being hysterical.

Once males achieve the legal right to watch women disrobe in changing rooms all over the UK I suppose they need to do away with laws that make it illegal for them to masturbate while watching women disrobe.

They’ve all drunk the koolaid. Mordaunt has been talking utter nonsense too.

I swear with a few million £ and a few stroppy voices you could successfully lobby for the Law of gravity to be repealed.

We should start a campaign for all women to get a room of their own and £500pa (1920s prices).

I think the OP extrapolating from something on another thread. Something like, Mrs May said she wouldn't have a problem sharing a changing room with a transwoman but that she recognised that some women would and it was important for them to be consulted.
I'm very sorry about what happened to your DD, and absolutely that should not happen but I think you may be misrepresenting the whole of what May said.

Mrs May didnt say those exact words, but thats what she was saying to my mind, because saying youre happy to be in a changing room with trans women to me can mean my local pool where there are kids and people get literally naked.

Do they now teach children in biology that some have lady sticks?

Hell no YABU.

Indecent exposure is a crime and should remain so.

The OP didn't mention anything to do with gender (or sex, which would be more relevant to most people where this offence is concerned).

My daughter was the victim of indecent exposure 2 years ago. It was awful. The case was taken to court as 9 other girls her age had also made recent reports (she was Year 8). He was caught because she had the wherewithal to remember his licence plate. He was successfully prosecuted and convicted based on several of the girl's testimonies. Thankfully these were recorded.

What was the point though? Some trans woman could come up behind my daughter at the local swimming pool tomorrow and waggle his erect dick at her just the same. To stop access to the pool by trans women, I'd have had to have shown that it was a proportionate means to a justified end or something. Which I haven't got round to unfortunately.

What's the difference between the two scenarios? TWAW. Our daughters clearly needs to learn the difference between a male dick and a "trans women are women"'s dick.

Oh FGS, what has she said now?

I can just imagine what will happen if flashing is decriminalised.

How on earth can you say in one sentence that it isn't a gendered crime, and then go on to say that it is usually men/male bodied people who commit it? That's the definition of a gendered crime.

Apparently a police force tweeted about this recently. They advised naked gardeners to alert neighbours first or you commit a crime and if neighbours stand on a chair to look over the fence the neighbour is committing a crime.

Indecent exposure is not a gendered crime though both men and woman can commit it. Though usually men do so
