To suggest a male curfew one night a week

[twojumps]

when women can walk free in the streets without fear?

Yes, violence still happens in homes and behind closed doors but what a powerful message it would send.

I'd say every night but let's start with one.

Exactly. The likelihood of being attacked might be fairly low but the consequences are usually devastating and life-changing.

So that is a no then?

Of course if its left to the men then you are ok with them sorting out the content?

But then you run the risk of the Andrew Tate types getting in.

Scaremongering? This literally just happened in the city I live in. A woman was raped in the city centre on a walkway connecting a hotel and bar. By a complete stranger.

It is fear mongering.

Telling girls to carry umbrellas and their keys between their fingers and not wear a ponytail and hide if a man happens to walk near by...

Women are at risk from violent men and women anywhere, at any time. Recent events have once again shown that even in the day there is risk.

So you are ok with men being violent against men?

I didn't say it didn't happen
I said MOST happens elsewhere

The stats show that most risk is from those known. Encouraging people to be terrified in the street is scaremongering

The only person with a curfew should be you

Ironically a male curfew would probably see a huge reduction in male violence against males

Of course stranger rapes happen but they are very rare as the Pp was pointing out.

Yes, violence still happens in homes and behind closed doors but what a powerful message it would send.

One message it would send is DV is 'less serious' than stranger attack. Which is not true.

A large proportion of VAWG happens in homes and behind closed doors. In fact, I think, although I might be misremembering figures, women are at more risk of that than from stranger attack.

What do you suggest to tackle ongoing male violence?

For both DV and stranger attacks. Well-funded and effective public services:

Social care
Mental health services
DV services
Probation
CPS
Police
Substance issues services
More (social) housing
Non punitive benefits system
Job, education, and training opportunities.

That's what is needed for a safer and more cohesive society. Will it be done? I don't expect it will but it should be.

Well I’m the mother of two sons (and no daughters) and I think the concept and discussion is needed

yes I know that NAMALT but ONLY men commit that kind of crime against women (stalking, raping, stabbing, abusing, murdering etc)

it should be all the NAMALTS that are leading the charge against the men that are. But they are not, it’s up to us women to raise the issue.

Want to work out exactly what you’re trying to say and have another go? :-)

Haven’t bother3d to RTfT but I would love this

I'm not sure what the difference is between this and any other form of hate speech is and I hope the people on here who are obviously radicalised are only representative of people hiding behind a screen and not the wider public.

😂😂😂 Is this just click bait?
What a ludicrous idea, it wouldn’t be followed by the very ones you need saved from, impossible to police and you might as well wander round with a big sign saying “take me, no one to stop you.”

Why would she want to do that when her post was perfectly clear? 😳

I would like cars to be banned one day a week so I can head out without fear of being run over

Of course it is about all men.

Funny how sweeping generalisations are frowned upon. Except when it comes to men.

But it isn’t all men! Were apologists because we disagree with men having a curfew??

I walk all the time without fear.

just to clarify you're saying no woman has:

"committed that kind of crime against a woman (stalking, raping, stabbing, abusing, murdering etc)"

?

Just like the liklihood of being hit by a car is low but the consequences being life changing and devastating?

Or your house catching fire?

Or you slipping on ice?

Or playing sport?

Of we judge risk ONLY by the consequences then we wouldn't do anything

Which impacts all those disabled people who need to use their cars for work, leisure etc, and have no alternative. Nothing is without consequence.

Men aren't human apparently
