If you're on Twitter, take a look at GC Archives @archives_gc. She cites countless examples of men committing crimes in women's and public spaces.

It's hideous stuff and I couldn't watch the videos, but reading the text demonstrates what is going on. She's identified one of the perpetrators in Edinburgh and reported them to the polic

This is clearly a public health hazard. Surely he can be identified quite easily and prosecuted?

Dunging has a history of territorialism so it's not that surprising that a similar practice might escape into more mainstream manifestations.

Sheila Jeffreys discussed public lavatories and Sheila Cavanagh's work on dung smearing as a way of establishing territorial dominance over a space and making it unsuitable/undesirable to women.

[Cavanagh] says that men like to spread faeces about in the toilets to mark their territory in a way that women do not, ‘There is a none too subtle correlation between heteronormative masculinities and the territorialisation of public facilities through the spread of dung’ (Cavanagh, 2010: 163). Men, it seems, like to spread their ‘dung’ on the walls and doors of public lavatories.... Sheila Jeffreys: Cavanagh discussion about public lavatories and gender

Dear god, that truly is fucked up. And it doesn't appear to be limited to Scotland. Is it a craze?

Pissing into soap dispensers, spitting on door handles and ejaculating on clothes.

Presumably you can get DNA from some of that, can't you?

This is the sort of crime that needs an overwhelmingly heavy sentence as a deterrent.

this might be what I saw happening at a cinema in Leeds a few years ago. 2 men pissing everywhere - quite deliberately. I walked in and one off them cocked his leg and farted whilst staring at me and grinning. I reported it and was told they were 'drunks' and would be removed. They were young 20-25 and very aggressive. They were mixed sex toilets.

WTF have I just seen? Are the police not interested in tracking these people down themselves?
