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.

So you're implying theres nothing that can be done?
Of course there is. But men need to change their own culture.

How about sport? Rugby versus Football. Both very macho, with passionate supporters, both have alcohol featuring heavily.
Entirely different cultures. Zero trouble at one, fans constantly causing problems at the other.

@Differentstarts

Where have I gone? I've got stuff to do, I don't sit here pouring over every comment.

To others, I'm not writing for the Daily Mail for goodness sake. They're a bunch of low life right wings idiots, if that helps. Behave yourself.

It was a suggestion that has provoked discussion. Sort of the point. Back to the drawing board.

In my first comment I said it was a thought experiment. What would be deluded about that? Currently all women face restrictions for the actions of some men. What is wrong with a thought experiment suggesting restrictions on men instead?

98% what sexual crime, violent crime, men on men, men on women, women on women,women on men. These are what you was asking me so which is 98% and if your talking sexual crime what % in homes as if the majority happened behind closed doors suggesting a curfew would increase rape. People are so terrified of being outside but the reality is the most dangerous place to be is home

It was a totally daft ill thought out idea you mean.

Nice reply. Roll it out😁

I assume that would be where the Ferengi learned the word, yes.

Well I have stuff to do to but Iv been asked by 3 different posters now to Google statistics because their to lazy to do it themselves so maybe if your going to start a thread you should actually be available to answer people's questions and give facts

Ok so instead of certain types of men roughing each other up at football matches, they go off and find other outlets for their violent tendencies? Like, I don't know, women?

Any other good suggestions?

Well said. And surprise surprise @StoneHenge85 is a man.

The thing is that reduce all violence not just VAWG, all of the various cultures have to change.
This includes how children are being brought up to films and media and how violence is shown and also how and who we support in sports.
And yes it all starts with how children are brought up and excused from a young age.

Oh dear. I suppose I failed to mention that I do in fact also have a horror story related to a man. A stranger actually. Who sexually assaulted me, shoved a pencil up my urethra that made a hole in my bladder, and made a hole in my diaphragm so I was closer to death than life. The man was wearing RayBans. And through therapy I’ve learnt to not live my life in fear of pencils, men, and random straight and slim object and oddly enough RayBans. If you limit your life based on what ifs and could have beens - and like the PP I quoted mention are severely limiting your life. Then yes it’s time for therapy.

I didn’t mean this in a bad way, simply that living your life in fear of a small percentage of the human kind is not a healthy way to live. Not for anybody.

Well I appreciated it for one.

And frankly I think its a great idea, as I do a car free day.
I appreciate all the naysayers ridiculing it, usually hinging on NAM but we need to think outside the box , and it would carry a very strong message.

When women are still routinely being banned covered up and excluded from society because of menstruation, or just because they exist, NOT because they are a danger to men, then the outrage at your suggestion is tasteless indeed.

It would never work, how would it be managed. Would it be all males or would you exempt emergency services?

What about a woman who goes into labour and needs her male partner to take her to the hospital, would they become exempt?

What if your kid injures themselves and need to go to the hospital and their father is the sole carer, would they be exempt?

What if you got stuck in a traffic jam past your curfew?

An endless list of possibilities!

No, it's not an idea, not ill thought out. It's a post for discussion that will never happen. You get that yet? Promise it won't happen.

Well it depends if the kids male or female if he's male he won't be allowed to leave the house to go to the hospital so I guess he would just die at home

I'm not suggesting a curfew. I think that's madness. I also think it's very worrying that a woman is more likely to be harmed by the male person she shares a home with than the "weirdo in the bushes". The fact remains that 98% of sexual and violent crime is committed by men, more often than not by the men we share our lives with. That's the reality for women and children.

I've just genuinely had enough the non stop violence. I'm sick of it. Maybe it is a wacky suggestion but we need some new ideas.

Something has to change!!!

We gave the statistic as 97/98% and you said that was incorrect. I was asking what numbers you had.

An interesting graph given this discussion.

“A survey by the UN Women UK in 2021 found that 71% of all women in the UK had experienced some form of sexual harassment in public. This figure increases to 86% among young women aged 18-24 .”

That's sexual crime where's violent crime and what percentage happens in the home as I'm guessing the majority so keeping men out of sight and shut in homes Is surely the most dangerous thing to do

Maybe instead of speed camera's they could use a men cam. And fine men caught on camera? They have to get the money off us some how. I just think its a good idea not to walk alone in quiet deserted area's. If only to be safe if you fall or have a medical issue.

Yes I'm literally saying that.

And I answered for violent crime was 80% male 20% female then I was asked well what's the statistics for this and that and this. I'm not Google
