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.

Made me laugh. You've really gone down the rabbit hole of hatred haven't you.

Prejudice - assuming all men are rapists

@CoralReader who on earth on this thread has said they assume all men are rapists?! This is about women feeling safe from the minority of men that commit 97% of the crime against them.

You keep saying 97% where are you getting this number

It was women too. The lockdown parties in government buildings all included women. The press secretary at the time was a woman as I recall, and she had to resign because she was filmed during those parties making derogatory comments about the general public.

Extremely sexist. I can’t believe this hasn’t been pulled already. What about the male police officers working that night, the doctors and nurses. If this was a post banning any other demographic from the streets this thread would have been pulled already.

Pat yourself on the head...

Maybe you could fit men with collars with a bell on so they can't sneak up on anyone.

Surely you mean the 15% of men who commit violence against women. There’s nothing to support men committing 97% of crimes against women.

Not to mention the endless threads on here Started by posters saying they were refusing to follow the " rules" most of whom were women.

ONS - Office for National Statistics

CSEW - Crime Survey for England and Wales

So one night a week, you want to make women do all the work? Make all female police officers, fire fighters, paramedics, doctors, etc work an extra shift, while all the men sit at home relaxing. I don't think that will help anyone really will it?

Can you show a link because that's not what I'm seeing on their

just be careful not to back that up with valid statistics or someone will make a total joke out of racism once you blow a hole in their argument.

Just so impractical.

The tube wouldn’t run without men, for example. Plenty of petrol stations would need to shut. All sorts of stuff. Airports, planes etc. A&E.

My dh often has to visit places hours away for work. So he’d not be able to come home if you banned men from the streets for an evening.

I don’t know what the answer is. But I do appreciate that women and girls aren’t safe on the streets. I am a woman and have a dd.

Poorly funded, ineffective, and insufficient public services cause and increase the the breakdown in society and community safety and cohesion, and crime goes up. Affecting both women and men.

Tackling this (by doing the things I listed in my previous post) would reduce VAWG both from strangers and in the home, but also male violence against men.

And yet the person that I was responding was quite happy for brothers, husbands and fathers to go and sort these violent men out.
Violence begets violence.

@nocoolnamesleft

Ridiculous!

You are deluded..

What numbers are you getting?

So you are quite happy to to leave it to men but unhappy with the men that will end up doing the training.
You either have both sexes help in teaching both sexes or you will end up with the Andrew Tate types getting in.

What percentage of sexual violent crimes are committed by men?

More men are victims of violent crime in England and Wales but actually commiting violent crimes is about 80% men 20% women it obviously differs year to year slightly

Nope, you either get the whole curfew or nothing.
You don't get to choose.

Honestly I was thinking of banning all 18-25 year olds from going out Saturday night because they’re more likely to clog up a&e. You could go on and on with different statistics for different demographics but fortunately, in this society, we don’t punish a whole group of people because of the actions of a few.

So, whilst all the men have to be inside at night, who will be patrolling the streets checking they aren’t out?

Men with a special government issued lanyard, and a high viz jacket with 'keyworker' on the back?

How would the recruitment of these men work? How would they be vetted ? Same way as police officers are?

Do you not remember all the people taking the piss with covid lockdowns!?

a rapist is not going to think “oh, it’s Tuesday, can’t go out on the prowl tonight!”

You could go on and on with different statistics for different demographics but fortunately, in this society, we don’t punish a whole group of people because of the actions of a few

why is everyone seeing this as a punishment for men rather than something that is enabling women to be safer? It’s weird. No-one has suggested it’s a punishment
