AIBU to think if we need to politely ask men not to rape women (or men), then we don't want such people in the UK?

Don't rape, sexually assault or make kissing noises' at people, asylum seekers warned in guidance about living in UK
UK arrivals have been told to treat women equally, not sexually assault partners or have sex with children in a new Home Office pamphlet. As well as the guidebook, a series of posters have also been designed by the government.

I wish they would give this guidance to all men tbh.

They should be handing that out in schools

Sounds like it needs handing out to the homegrown male population.

This guidance has been in place for a long time.

Also, similar guidance is rolled out in most workplaces about once a year in the form of anti-sexual harassment training.

It's not really headline news tbh, and as usual the right wing media is spinning the hell out of it.

The age of consent is different in different countries.

in Islam, like in the U.K. up until the 1990s rape within marriage is not a thing.

understanding the laws of the country you are in is important.

plenty of British people assume the law elsewhere is the same as the U.K. and come a cropper.

In Dubai all sex outside marriage is illegal but the authorities largely turn a blind eye. This British person was arrested and jailed however

It 's been in place for a long time? Then it is not working is it?

Can you explain what you mean?

Regardless. Don't you see? That doesn't matter - the end product / result is the same. And a leaflet won't change it. As proven actually by the comment above who stated these leaflets have been available for 'a long time'.

I’ve just been on another thread about this

I thought we were very late to it, the European countries did it ages ago. Fat lot of good it did them.

YANBU.

I think we should be giving all men the same training, tbh.

YANBU OP but you will be gaslight to death on this thread

Each new generation of men & women need to know the expectations off the society they are entering, whether born in the UK or elsewhere. In the same way as a family going to the US on holiday may not realise that their children can't drink until they are 21 regardless of the law in the UK.

Do you really believe that it's the first thing on the mind of those poor young people claiming asylum?

Some basic data from the MoJ

'Data from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), obtained by the the Centre for Migration Control think tank under freedom of information laws, has revealed that 26% of 1,453 sex assault convictions on women last year were foreign nationals.
Indian nationals accounted for the highest number in foreign national convictions in 2024, with 38.
Romanians nationals were second with 27 assault, joint with Polish nationals also on 27.
Pakistani nationals accounted for 20 sexual assault conviction while 19 Afghan nationals were convicted.

While accounting for 26% of sexual assault convictions last year, foreign nationals make up 10.9% of the population.
More than a fifth of all rape convictions last year were also foreign nationals.
They made up 155 of the 720 convictions for “rape of a female aged 16 or over”, with a further 42 convictions being an “unknown” nationality.'

There are examples in the news every day. And yes before you say but british men rape too, yes we know. We don't need more.

Oh yes... Desperate of them isn't it. Or stupid. I don't know which. I really don't know.

Okay. How many would there have been without this guidance, do you know?

Sooo 74% were British nationals?
yeah sounds like an immigration issue…

Don't rape children? You think your ever day British bloke needs to be guided not to rape children?

Wait for the sea of ‘but white British men rape you anyway’ as some sort of excuse as to justify letting men in from misogynistic cultures and from countries no woman would go anywhere near. Every thread.

Actually I think it might be to prevent foreigners using ignorance of the law as a defence. So it's not intended to prevent any crimes but to make it easier to prosecute

So you don't understand proportionality then, approx 82% of men in the UK are British etc? We probably can't discuss much further tbh, if you don't get what that means for statistics..

Great. Thank goodness we have that. (😑)

Why are you only bothered by black and brown men ignoring the ‘don’t rape women’ law? Why not white men?

It explains the age of consent.

The every day British bloke will have been told the UK age of consent in a British school. An asylum seeker will not have been told the UK age of consent before, so it's probably a good idea he is told as soon as possible, isn't it?

And what proportion of the UK population are UK born - do you know?

They know. They don't care.
