If anyone witnessed a crime of a black man murdering a person and claimed " all black people " should have curfews and take collective responsibility they would probably be arrested for racism and rightly so. It seems that men are fair game where one commits a terrible crime yet just based on what's between their legs they should endure a curfew and take collective responsibility?
Some real crackpots posting on this thread- the tarring of all people with one brush based on race or gender is disgusting and the same trait as a society we condemn in racists. Can you imagine if it was the other way around and society said the same thing about women.. you wouldn't be able to hear yourself speak with the cries of misogyny regarding a specific crime
99% of sexual crimes are male perpetrated. 88% of their victims are women.
Around 13500 men are in prison for sex offences at any one time, as opposed to around 120 women.
95% of prisoners are men, and of the 5% who are women, hardly any are convicted of violent offending - it's almost all property crime, and half of those women are jailed for a crime that was committed to support the drug habit of someone else - and that someone else is usually a man.
Shall I go on? Because believe me, I can. There's an avalanche of data to show that women very rarely harm others. Men commonly do. That's just a fact.Of course not all men do this. But almost all who do this are men. The distinction is not complex.
These facts are why we have separate spaces for women, and why we need them. Women are effectively under a curfew - see all the comments about Sarah Everard going home 'at a sensible time'. Most women don't stroll around the streets at night alone, do they?
The problem is male violence. We are smaller and less strong, and if a man seriously wants to harm us, our chances of effective self-defence are almost nil. Women pose no risk to men. Men pose a risk to one another, and above all, to us - male on male violence tends to be linked to drugs, gangs, other forms of clear criminality. Male violence to women tends to be interpersonal, and/or sexual. It is because we are women.
These are all facts.
Claiming black people pose a risk to white people is racist because it's not true. It's a hateful lie.
Claiming men are the problem when it comes to risk to women is true. It's just pointing out that water is wet. It is not hateful to state truths.
Almost all those who inflict violence upon women are men.
