Let me spell this out very clearly for the hard of thinking

[KillTheTurkey]

Men commit 99% of all rapes and sexual assaults.

Men (and young men) commit 95-98% of school shootings.

Men commit 90% of all violent crime in the UK.

These are not female crimes, and should never, ever be reported - or recorded - as such. It can safely be assumed in any of the above circumstances that a male person was the perpetrator.

Yes we most if us realise that. But “The hard of thinking?” You’re rude.

The OP’s initial post was not well written.
I can see how someone could read it that way.

That's not gaslighting.

Em.. OK then?

I would like to think most of us knew that rape is an offence only men can commit.

What's your point?

I don't think you should post a thread about rape that has a title that doesn't make it clear what it's going to be about

Ah, i see.

well, what she's saying is that when a man commits a crime, it should not be recorded or reported as committed by a woman.

She's also pointing out that the vast majority of violent or sexual crimes are committed by biological men.

She's started this thread prompted by the latest school shooter that is being reported as female when they are in reality a male.

She is saying that a crime committed by a man should not be recorded as committed by a woman.

And the other way, obviously, except its not as much of an issue since biological women hardly ever carry out mass shootings and rapes.

Erm...

And OP also said
It can safely be assumed in any of the above circumstances that a male person was the perpetrator. (above circs being rape, sexual assault and all violent crimes)

It is this bit that a lot of us are objecting to. She really should have said presumed, not assumed.

I'd have thought merely mentioning the word would be triggering so I don't know how that helps.

Myra Hindley, Rose West anyone. And let me guess you feed into Radio 4s Womans Hour line that women only commit crime to please men or because they are forced to?

Sorry violent behaviour is universal, I've seen enough women fighting to know that.

And the reason everyone knows those names is because it is so rare that women do it, we remember each and every one.

But you can only commit the legal definition of rape if you have a penis. So 100% of rapes are committed by men not 98%. What's the other 2%?

Is the word more important than the point?

Well yes because OP has failed to make her point clearly.

Why is it so frightening to accept that the majority of sexual crimes and extremely violent crimes are committed by men?

Just because you remember a case when a woman committed a violent crime does not take away from the high % of men being the perpetrators. It's not being said it's 100% male.

I would argue that her point was clearly understood and what's actually going on is nothing to do with not understanding what she meant.

The fart I did yesterday morning was definitely male. I think it had a beard.

I don't think OP's post is perfectly written, but I guess she is frustrated- as am I- by the immense level of NAMALTING on a largely women's site.
Every time a horrific crime is committed- Epstein Files, the nursery worker abuse, BC shooting- a flood of posters will rush forth to say how nice their Nigel is.
I bet no one on DadsNet is rushing forth to say how nice their Nigella is!

And before Rosemary West came along, the one name people came up with was Myra Hindley

Stand outside some the pubs at kicking out time might give you a different view 🤣🤣

Men (and young men) commit 95-98% of school shootings

I don't know of any school shooting in the UK or Ireland since Dunblane, 30 years ago. Maybe there are more but none that I know of and I have a quick Google to confirm. The perpetrator was a man in his 40s, so statistically speaking you could say men in their 40s commit 100% of school shootings in the UK in the past 30 years. One could also argue that men called Thomas are responsible for 100% of school shootings since the internet became mainstream.

Please explain OP, are you basing this on worldwide stats? Are you looking at US stats? Why then post on this site without context. For a thread that's supposed to spell things out very clearly, this is particularly obtuse.

Oh yes, drag out the holy trilogy of Myra Hindley, Rose West and Aileen Wuornos again to claim women are as violent as men. So few women serial killers we remember their names.
Can't recall a single woman shooter, but am sure the NAMALTERS will find one after much combing.

The point of the post is that there’s been yet ANOTHER violent crime been committed by a bloke, and it’s been reported all over the world for two days as being committed by “a female in a dress”

You know there are non violent crimes? Also what 99% means? Also that many women are in prison directly and indirectly as a result of men’s behaviour.
