Terrible

JanesBlond · 16/06/2023 15:04

The article says “The motive for the attack is still unclear” Hmm er, seems pretty clear to me.

Yes.

There’s always some kind of downplaying, pretending to be stupid or making excuses.
Always.

It's never going to end. I utterly despair.

PickleIsAPlumbCat · 16/06/2023 15:43

Male bloody violence and entitlement again and again and again 🤬🤬

falsepositivenervous · 16/06/2023 15:43

The second young woman will probably also die, just fucking shocking. I'm actually sick to my stomach, I hate men so much.

There is no way that a woman ever, anywhere in the world, sexually assaulted a man (or attempted to) and then murdered him for not complying, and yet it's fucking commonplace for men to do it to women.

Anyone who says a single negative thing about "man hating feminists" needs to have a proper word with themselves. Men are the ones who hate women, evidenced over and over and over again. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Just horrific.

Those poor parents.

The second young woman thankfully only has minor injuries and will be fine, physically at least.

Conkersinautumn · 16/06/2023 15:51

He seems so calm walking along in handcuffs! Obviously sleeping easily despite murdering women. Grim.

This is a horrific crime ... But do you hate all men? That's seems such a strange overreaction.

The man that has done this is despicable and no punishment is too severe for him. But the vast majority of men are kind and loving and are also appalled at this.

Keep a sense of proportion

Well said. I have DD’s in their 20’s and to be honest I despair for them.

falsepositivenervous · 16/06/2023 16:10

@Maddy70 if the "vast majority" of men were as kind and loving as you like to think they would have banded together centuries ago to eliminate the behaviour that contributes to a climate of woman hating that leads to events like this. They might even do it in current times.

"Most men" might not do this themselves, but they don't step up and do anything that might actually change society for the better in terms of how women are viewed and treated? Men could very easily stop watching porn, could say something when a friend makes a misogynist joke, when they see another man behaving badly to women around them. Most men won't even take these basic steps.

The bar for men is so unbelievably low that we have women saying "most men wouldn't throw young women over a gorge after trying to rape/assault them", so fucking WHAT. So many women and girls are raped and murdered every single day all around the world, and yet men still need protection from angry women who might hurt their feelings by being enraged at shit male behaviour. I'm just so angry at the state of everything, and women coming along to defend the class of people that are overwhelmingly the rapists and murderers of our class is always just the cherry on top.

And to answer your question, yes, I do hate men as a class, they don't often give much reason for otherwise.

maybe NAMALT but it is way more than you think. Their violence is minimised; take the violent murderous attack in Nottingham. BBC called it a tragic incident, all down to his mental health apparently...yet to see a woman with mental health issues go on a rampage with a van and a knife....getting fucking sick of men.

It's true that the vast majority of men are kind and loving.

But there's enough dangerous men around to make life pretty unsafe for a lot of women.

I don't think I know one single woman that has never been harassed by a man in her lifetime.

Silence is complicity.

If it's "not all men" then why do men warn their daughters to stay away from men...?

It's because they know that it's enough men and that it's enough men to the point that it may as well be all.

BigMandsTattooPortfolio · 16/06/2023 16:30

Trouble is, the ‘decent’ men tend to look the other way and bury their heads in the sand rather than calling misogynistic violence/behaviour out.

NaughtyBoyGeorgeMichaelJacksonBrown · 16/06/2023 16:32

This is so upsetting and brings it back that my friend was assaulted and thrown over a bridge in Oz in 2002, her murderer is free now - freed on parole over lockdown. The whole fucking justice system is in on it too.

beguilingeyes · 16/06/2023 16:35

Back to Germaine again
“Women have very little idea of how much men hate them"
A lot of men don't like women at all. they like them for sex but not as people.

Mylifeislikeaboatrace · 16/06/2023 16:36

I want to throw the switch on these bastards that harm women and children.

AgathaSpencerGregson · 16/06/2023 16:40

I’m afraid I don’t think the vast majority of men are kind and loving. A majority are basically law-abiding, yes. But a significant minority are not, and are violent and anti-social to women and indeed other men. And it is more less accepted that this will be the case.

FredWinnie · 16/06/2023 16:40

@falsepositivenervous

So well said

Moreover, I don't believe that most men are lovely. Most men manage to toe the line, and that is all, but given half a chance, how many of those lovely men would attack, rape etc if there were no consequences to suffer?

bluelagoon12 · 16/06/2023 16:41

I have a legal question. Maybe someone on this thread is a lawyer/knows a little bit more about such cases.

If he as an American murdered an American woman abroad, could it be possible that he's extradited to America and put in front of a court there?

Or will he be charged and put in prison in Germany?

IamAlso4eels · 16/06/2023 16:42

The government don't help the situation.

No automatic right to Legal Aid for domestic abuse victims, underfunded and understaffed police, ditto social services, decimated support services including mental health support and refuges. Sentencing is pathetic too, someone in the village was up on charges of assault against their spouse and because they apologised and expressed regret they got a six month suspended sentence.
