Fucking horrific. And thank you to the Metro for publishing this act of sexual assault and animal cruelty under the "weird sex" section.

Honestly, what the fuck is wrong with men. How do 8 men find each other that would willing rape a pregnant goat to death? If there aren't loads of disgusting men out there how do gang rapes happen? coincidence that ab inch of disgusting bastards were together?

Sorry all - a trick title to edit. We'll add the 'by men' back in now.

On any given day there are multiple reports in the news about male violence, sexual, physical, whatever, and it’s all become so fucking normalised because it’s so prevalent everyone becomes desensitised to it. Male violence should be addressed for the epidemic that it is, not sanitised and made more ‘comfortable’. Call it what it is

TiredPony · 07/08/2018 22:57

There's a link in the article to another saying that one of the rapists came back the next day to say they had had a nice time, so I think it is fair to say that they are not ashamed of their actions. What the fuck is wrong with the human race?

LassWiADelicateAir · 07/08/2018 22:56

MNHQ could have left the reference to it being a violent attack by men- although maybe that goes without saying.

ChiefClerkDrumknott · 07/08/2018 22:52

Yes let’s edit the cruelty of men out of discussion because it’s uncomfortable, of course!
I was in a dispute with a male friend recently about why women legitimately fear men. He called me sexist. I said ok, look at the news now, tomorrow, in a week, a month, 6 months, a year. I guarantee there will be at least one story of male violence every day, and it will most likely be against a woman or a child. Then in a year come back and tell me I’m wrong.
I’ll wait.

Hi all,

We've had a fair few reports from folks who've been quite upset by the thread title, so we're going to edit it now. Flowers

UptonSnodbury · 07/08/2018 22:44

Men commit the vast majority of violent and sexual crime but they're still the vast minority of men...

TiredPony · 07/08/2018 22:42

Fucking hell. That's horrific. As is every fucking brutal rape of (wo)man or beast. And as for the rape apologists - yes women can be sick and evil but I can't ever remember reading a headline of gang rape by a group of women. Men? Many times.

NigellasGuest · 07/08/2018 22:38

I saw the title before being able to hide it, I'm reporting

TheCountryGirl · 07/08/2018 22:36

Oh here we go...if at first you can't win an argument, resort to insults!😂

Fluffypinkpyjamas · 07/08/2018 22:36

How about you don’t put that as a title and you put a fucking sensitive warning ffs.

LassWiADelicateAir · 07/08/2018 22:36

You can hide the thread title.

"It makes me ashamed to be a man" is a comment I've heard, with no prompting from me, from my husband on many occasions.

UptonSnodbury · 07/08/2018 22:34

You sound a bit deranged tbh Country Girl. Most men don't rape goats. Pretty sure of that...

OrchidInTheSun · 07/08/2018 22:34

Yes it is. Men kill and assault women, puppies, children and middle aged tantric sex practioners much more than women do. That last group was just in there to highlight what a muppet you're being

TheCountryGirl · 07/08/2018 22:34

Men commit the VAST MAJORITY of evil acts AS WELL YOU KNOW. So cut the crap!

Yes, actually, I am! And that's the difference between me and the fucking evil men swarming across the earth! I FEEL for victims and I KNOW women and MEN can be better. Whereas men just shrug and grunt that it's nothing to do with them! Dickheads.

UptonSnodbury · 07/08/2018 22:28

...or the infamous 'crush' videos where women crush puppies/kittens under their heels?

Evil is not gendered.

TheCountryGirl · 07/08/2018 22:27

Can anyone remember the last day they read the news and there WASN'T some fucking evil crime committed by men listed? No, I can't either. Something is very wrong with men. A great number of them are abhorrent - sadistic, cruel, deviant, EVIL! Stories like this are just the tip of the iceberg:

UptonSnodbury · 07/08/2018 22:26

Why should men in general be embarrassed about this? Are you embarrassed about that famous video of a woman throwing a bag of puppies into a river, or the more recent case where two women ran over a turtle for the lolz and posted it on facebook?

ThatsWotSheSaid · 07/08/2018 22:15

Seriously. Fucking disgusting.

IncrediblySturdyPyjamas · 07/08/2018 22:10

Jesus. What the fuck is wrong with men?

LassWiADelicateAir · 07/08/2018 21:20

As one of the comments on the article says It has been shown, that people who abuse animals, usually then go on to abuse humans.

I second that but would change "usually" to "people who abuse animals always abuse humans too"

So for that reason "better a goat than a woman" is glib and offensive.
