Sorry for posting this here but I attended a seminar about feminism and one of the main topics was that of female prisons and how in a just society there should not be any because apprently females cannot be criminals as females who commit crime are just sick and should be in out patiant treatment centres.

It went further and suggested that all female crime root cause was men. for every crime they commited a man was usaually involed eg ether making them do it or not stopping them, with examples of NRP not paying enough CM meaning the mother had to shop lift to get food for her child despite being a self confessed heavy smoker/drinker and that she should not of been in prison but her child's dad should be for forcing her to become a criminal.

She went further and suggested that one of the main root causes of all crime and particaully female crime was caused by influences of there father and was suggesting that men should have less input/involement in their childs lives because they are one of the main causes of crime.

AIBU to think that she is talking total bollackis and suggesting that no woman has antomany over their own actions as what ever they do it is because of a man. and to think that what she is sprouting is boardering on hate speech as if you replace the word man with black person / muslim it would be shut down as a hate crime.

AIBU in also thinking that it is both toxic and dangerous for society as whole if these sort of views are not challanged and feel sorry for her son as she said she would be raising him to be aware that because of his sex he is a boarderline monster and a route cause of all problems in society.

(sorry for spelling errors that might be present I am dysixlica and my phone has a rubbish spell checker and for not naming names as I dont want to out myself or open myself up for slander by identifying the speakers)

Granny- the difference is that a woman going to prison is more likely to put children into care than a man going to prison.

OP, if it was a symposium similar to the ones I've linked to, they were talking about women, because that was the subject of the symposium, because the panellists were experts - both through study, or direct experience.

Men are also, entirely at liberty (and do) run symposiums and panels on men and prison, on what the specific needs of male prisoners are, why they offend, and how to stop them re-offending.

Honestly, it doesn't always have to be 'what about the men' - women are allowed to talk about their issues sometimes too.

Or do you think that a symposium on male breast cancer would be 'total bollocks' because it doesn't include women? Not everything is about everyone, and that's just fine.

I have just seen the op's post on another thread and am now of the opinion that her claim to have attended any feminist symposium at all is a straight out lie.
