Naked bike ride

[Chocbuttonsandredwine]

Was in London yesterday: naked bike ride. Fine.. not my thing (or many other women). They finished the ride/protest/whatvever and then conjugated near B palace.. and just seemed to be happy wafting their micro penis’s about for kicks and giggles/

A lot of horrid middle aged naked men kicking about just felt unnecessary.

and 🤮

There is a thread on here about a man alone in a cinema watching the new Lilo & Stitch film. Cries of he must be a pedo, of up to no good.
He makes mums feel uncomfortable so lone men in the cinema watching a kid film must be stopped.

I am someone who believes that "this is wrong because I'm offended" is a slippery slope

That wasn't me.

What?

Lots of legal activities make some people uncomfortable...

Should we ban:
Religion
Pets
TV
Uncovered female skin
Gay people
Dressing in a way that isn't gender conforming
Football
Cycling
Driving
Singing

I think you're a bit dense if you can't understand that

I know. But he was engaging in a legal activity that some people didn't like... like this thread.

I'm not even offended. I just think it's weird.

How do you know someone naked on a bike in front of children isn’t riding that bike naked specifically because they want children to see?

The answer is you can’t tell. But some posters seem to think that not being able to tell doesn’t matter.

I’m saying that not being able to tell makes it dangerous.

I would rather it was illegal to be naked in public so that there was zero chance of bad actors taking advantage of things like the naked bike ride in order to reinforce their offending behaviour and possibly escalate it.

Others would rather let things like the naked bike ride go ahead and so what if there are some real predatory perverts in the mix? No one can tell anyway!

I find that attitude disturbing.

Fuck Off

She wasn't saying it was you

She was saying it was a perfectly legal activity which made some people uncomfortable so by your logic should be banned

I defend actives that I don't participate in. Surely everyone does the same?

OK, people who want to be naked in public are weird.

This is my last post on the subject.

Same to you

How do you know they are?

Or maybe teach your kids the difference between a dodgy lone man in a park showing them his penis, and a big group of people cycling that happen to have no clothing on.

OK that's your opinion

Which is the point

It's an opinion

Which can differ

For me there’s no difference.

I find it disturbing that you have jumped to screaming child abuse because people aren't agreeing with you

That's ok

Legally there is

Well, that is a problem you have.

I would suggest the people who don't like the law as it stands redirect their energies to getting the law changed rather than bang their heads against those of us who are content with the status quo.
And in the meantime protect themselves and their loved ones against the perceived evil of people with no clothes on riding bicycles in public.

You think it’s disturbing that I think strangers being naked in the street in front of children is child abuse?

I’m okay with that.

My stance on it too. 100% creepy and unnecessary.

Yes. I find it problematic.

Ffs. 🤦‍♀️
