Men dismissing victims on the feminist board of a female dominated forum

Did I dismiss any of the victims ?

Read what I said. A disservice to the victims is what I said.

I am saying a report published By A MAN is practically a disservice to the victims.

@RedTagAlan

I always internally question the motives of men that are so quick to dismiss the realities of sex crimes.

I mean, so many of these crimes are committed yet men are always so dismissive of it happening and don't believe the victims . It's not women doing it to each other is it?

Every day we see examples of the depravity of male behaviour in the pursuit of sexual gratification.

A man taking the time to try and discredit a report about child sex abuse, torture and systemic exploitation, especially on a womens social board, just seems extremely worrying to me and if I knew a male in real life that held those views I would give him a wide berth at best and actually probably avoid being around him fullstop.

Yup - why do they think they have the right to dismiss women and girls being systematically and repeatedly sexually abused? On a feminist board of all places, though it would be awful anywhere.

Even babies being abused for God's sake.

Edited

I’m just amazed by that male self assurance. Just no.

You’re right it is views like that that are part of the problem.

Votes.

@EasternStandard was referring to why another poster would underplay what the victims said, not politicians.

So your comment makes no sense.

The report itself appears to be very circular. That is a lot of right wing blogs etc in the citations. The Daily Mail is referenced a few times. As is Youtube.

Page 102 has stuff about Stephen Yaxley-Lennon" reportedly also faced fabricated charges, asset freezes, and threats that forced repeated relocations."

218 pages. About 70-80 pages of victim testimonies, and the rest appears to be an anti Muslim thing.

Appendix 4 has a long list of local authority districts where gangs have operated, and not s single reference to any data.

There are an awful lot of claims being made in this report with no evidence presented. I mean beyond what the victims said.

People like you are part of the problem.

Using the references to the Daily Mail to try to discredit the whole report.

And that throwaway line, like the girls testimony is nothing "no evidence presented ...I mean beyond what the victims said".

I think your 'all' is somewhat of a generalisation.

Its really not.

EasternStandard · 17/06/2026 10:55

RedTagAlan · 17/06/2026 10:50

Yes. If anything, it is practically a disservice to victims. Done in their name but really about far right politics.

Emotive language! calling for the death penalty! this isn’t a report . just a load of rubbish

I think, if any justification for the death penalty existed, the systematic rape and sexual torture of children would be it.

I think there are serious issues here and they need to be seriously investigated and dealt with, but having Lowe's name attached instantly makes one suspect there may be other motives here which may have biased the investigation

Would you have said that if it was a Labour or LibDem MP as Chair of the enquiry?

If they had shown a complete lack of objectivity by writing in a report of this nature "Britain has an immigration problem", or any other personal opinion, yes.

@Yddraigoldragon This is probably worth putting in general Chat or similar - it's a UK issue, not just a 'Sex and Gender' discussion / issue.. Labour would like it tucked away here of course.

I agree.

Thanks for posting it @Yddraigoldragon

It's a very important report. But would get more eyes on it on the politics board or on Chat.

Can't believe people are trying to minimise the report because they don't agree with Lowe on other issues. Neither do I but that isn't the most relevant thing here.

EasternStandard · 17/06/2026 10:52

Onmytod24 · 17/06/2026 10:49

I wonder if the victims have given permission for their report to be misused in such a way. More abuse.

Are you and the pp underplaying this sure of the process?

During these sessions, the inquiry team directly collected harrowing, first-hand testimonies from survivors of UK grooming gangs

Going through that and then your posts as you and others don’t like the outcome is another kick.

LazyFoxy · 17/06/2026 10:50

Some replies here are absolutely staggering.
Easy to see why so many people looked the other way isn't it?

As for calling this a load of rubbish; that is disgusting and offensive to the victims of this scandal. I just knew we'd get the 'it's all men' comment.
Has Kier made a comment yet? Or London's Mayor?
Nasty comments are an insult to the girls who suffered these atrocities.

I haven't read all of it; snippets are enough for me. If reading it is too much, how about a little thought the victims who lived it?

I'm afraid for your "thousands" of "Pakistanis" (mostly British) there are hundreds of thousands of white/European/British/other rapists in the UK. The problem is men. Not a particular race or colour of men, just men. And while you target particular races (which does make you a racist by the way) you let the wider problem slide out of view.

So, when organised groups of Pakistani men, operating all over the country, between county borders are organising the grooming, abuse, torture and in some cases murder of WHITE British girls you only retort is ‘there a more white rapists’? Of course there are many white rapists. We live in a predominantly white country by the very nature of where the UK sits on the planet. Do you not agree that these organised groups of Pakistani men need to be investigated individually outside of just being rapists? 1400 girls raped because they are white. How many of those raped by white men have their rapes covered up by authorities so as not to stoke racial tensions.

It seems that so far only three MPs - Lowe, a Tory and a independent - have signed the motion to note the report.

Why has he done it ,where did he get the money from.
Is this an official report
How did he manage to get access to the sensitive information

Northermcharn · 17/06/2026 10:44

Are you saying the testimonies of the sexual abuse rape victims is 'a load of rubbish'?

If actual testimonies are used of course that’s not rubbish it’s the conclusions the emotive language everything about the report that means it’s not a report. It’s just a mad diatribe against a group in society absolutely bonkers anyone reading it and thinking it sticking up for women pathetic.

What do you mean by ammunition? Telling people the truth about how victims are continuing to be silenced? How we are still expected not to speak of the muslim Pakistani men who commit such disgusting child abuse?

Nothing should be covered up but the GMB situation is another opportunity for the extreme far right to exploit for their own ends.
