I have a huge issue with this post but can’t articulate why.

I know you will hear me though.

@dontdisturbmenow

Both positions are discriminatory. The common issue is violence in the streets.

A male totally innocent bystander shot dead by a drug dealer by error is just as tragic.

Why make it a competition and blame culture?

The oy worth message is to tackle violence, domestic and against strangers, end of.

But women are being killed deliberately, not caught in the crossfire of a turf war. And only women are being killed because of misogyny, which is why I think it's important that it's recognised as hate crime.

The menz aren't being killed because they are menz.

@Pipepans

F4J are an absolute joke and always have been. Dangerous and hate mongering. I have friends dealing with non child maintenance paying and abusive ex's, who mention joining F4J as some kind of threat, and yes if you heard their story would think they are up for father of the year. Luckily my friends were able to laugh that their ex partners thought mentioning such an organisation would be intimidating!

You can imagine all the messages these alleged fathers send each other being "masterful" and dominant....

I bet most of them are incels too. Sack of cunts.

If people engage in goady shit like 'curfew for all men' this is the kind of reactionary sexist bullshit we get. Neither will help us solve the problem of violence against women. I mean this is gold dust for F4J to raise their agenda, I mean when was the last time they were being talked about?

EvilOnion · 13/03/2021 18:09

@Eleganz the whole point of the curfew being raised was to get people talking.

Women being told to walk with others, stay at home, stick to well-lot areas etc etc doesn't hit the headlines because it's socially acceptable to tell women to do things to stop the men from harming them.

When someone suggests stifling the men's freedom to do as they wish for protection it causes a bit of controversy.

How is it not the same as telling women not to walk at night?

People only stop and think and call it goady because they aren't used to men being asked to do the same (unreasonable) things women are

Never met anyone involved in F4J who wasn’t a gold plated copper bottomed turbocunt.

TheVanguardSix · 13/03/2021 19:48

These dickheads are still around? I remember when my ex went all Fathers 4 Justice on me years ago (yep, another absent dad eagerly queueing up for his F4J goody bag: superhero lycra, loudspeaker, and misogyny for one, please. But show up for his kid? Nah. Never. Why raise your son when you've got shit to do?). I wonder if their role play box has evolved over the years to include a Deadpool costume.
Cosplay twats playing at 'being a dad', bouncing around inside their Little Tikes echo chamber.

The only member of fathers4justice i know is a family member who is claiming that his ex wife is alienating his children from him, lots of sad/angry/irritating sm posts on the subject. Not posts about how there was extensive ss and police involvement because he used violence against them all before she left him for good.

Okbussitout · 13/03/2021 19:54

Well they've always been mra scum so not surprising they've put out this shit. So tone dwaf and misogynistic

Also men are at risk of violence from men...

Jesus, I’ve heard of dads4justice & always presumed they were a respected organisation with good at the heart.

Just looked on their FB page, LOL what a bunch of thickos.

FatCatThinCat · 13/03/2021 20:18

I knew a bloke who was a member of F4J. Never could figure out why. He dumped his girlfriend when she told him she was pregnant as it was obviously an attempt to trap him Hmm did everything he could to hide his assets and reduce his maintenance liability, and had never tried to have any contact with the child in the 10 years since the birth. What injustice was this 'father' suffering from?

I used to inwardly call bullshit on MN posts claiming the poster spat out their tea, burst out laughing, or shat themselves with glee, until now.

Thank you for this Grin

FannyFlapClap · 13/03/2021 20:40

@FatCatThinCat probably the injustice of having to man up and take responsibility for the child he helped produce. The injustice that his child needs financial support that he is legally entitled to. It's just too much for some parents to comprehend and feel that it is justified to allow their child to suffer, go without or have a potentially lesser quality of life whilst they fuck off Scot free. My own father was one of these losers. As an adult now I can see through all the shitty accusations, excuses and claims of alienation, being the perfect etc when infact he was a lazy, feckless waster.

FannyFlapClap · 13/03/2021 20:41

TooTrueToBeGood · 13/03/2021 20:56

Men are twice as likely to be murdered, that's true. However, whilst it doesn't make it right, many male victims are murdered because they are involved in criminal activity themselves, whereas the majority of women are ultimately murdered for being women. Add to that, whether the victim is male or female, 90% of the time the perpetrator is male. I don't believe women (it's not just feminists, indeed it's not just women) are waging a war on men at all. They are speaking out against male violence, especially against women.

F4J by and large are a bunch of pricks who think they can duck and dodge financially supporting their kids but at the same time expect unfettered access to them and invariably control the mothers into the bargain.

NiceGerbil · 13/03/2021 21:25

Another question.

How much do these sorts of people raise/ do stuff to tackle male on male violence? Many seem to just mention it when women are complaining about male on female violence.

I'm sure some do (talking wider now- ALL the WATM people) but mostly it's a silencing tactic.

7catsandcounting · 13/03/2021 21:32

It's amazing how much we use the words "cunt" and "twat" though. We're doing ourselves a disservice in the mysogenistic language we use. Literal cunts and twats are amazing things. They're also why men attack us. We need to reclaim these words. I use "prick" and "bellend". I had to train myself though! It was a hard habit to break.

I need to let you know that I will be stealing this and not giving credit. Sorry.
NiceGerbil · 14/03/2021 02:51

Agree 7cats but most swearwords have an undercurrent of misogyny.

The fact that ones that mean penis are much milder is an aspect of that.

piedpiper1806 · 14/03/2021 04:37

I agree with the post to be honest. Women are making it all about them, exploiting the woman's death when the focus should be on the woman, not women.

Exploit: make use of (a situation) in a way considered unfair or underhand.

Just how are women (and do you mean all women?) are doping this< and to what end?
