It's code. For I can't be bothered. Blame it on height and masculinity and it's all unfair.

But then you see shilpit men with hotties. And variously they are funny or kind or rich or charming or interesting or interested or they can dance or they are great company. Prince was 5 foot and wore purple velvet and I bet the man was knee deep in offers his whole life.

Men just want not to try and get women who do nothing but try.

Why not...he deserved his offers....he was a gentleman and had a song: So God made a girl

Prince was absolutely knee high boot deep in whatever he vibes with as the kids say. He was my late mums crush x

Exactly this.
Kids need to be kept away from these men, not given ever increasing excuses to be made to see them. As I said earlier, fathers who kill their wives still get PR for their kids. This needs to be put through faster than it is, alongside the peadophiles who still have PR even when convicted against their own kids.

The system is so broken it feels like women need to look at different ways of operating on a more female community basis as men get increasingly more sex obsessed and violent.

I even think women should chose celibacy and stay single if they never meet a good one

Duncantoldme2 · 07/10/2026 22:31

Apparently Prince was absolutely fantastic in bed (or wherever one might be). That helps, a lot. Sadly not many men are.

I know plenty who have!
Loneliness epidemic is a measure of men letting other men be men over really wanting to find someone to love.

Just a note on the idea that teaching girls to choose or be safe is an answer...

Male violence is a perfect self-perpetuating system. Men beat and rape women, who then have children. Those children witness violence and/or are victims. They either stay in the home, worse and worse. Or go into care, still worse. They act out, self medicate, have sexualised behaviour. Then some predator picks them up. Hands them around. They then have a child...

I can teach my DD to be slightly safer. But that just transfers the violence to her mate. Whose mum threw her out and now she's living on sofas. Who tells her to choose wisely.

It has to be men changing or being locked up to protect us.

Indeed, for too many girls, the solution is chosing a different violent man because he said in the hope, he'll protect her.

I saw this. Her kids were in the house, having a sleepover with friends Sad

Seriously? Ugh 😣 it’s so bad but I am almost grateful - for want of a better word - that he didn’t kill the kids and the friends too.

Because I remember during the pandemic some other waste of space man killed his partner, her two kids and their friend who was staying over.

I mean kids are going to be very traumatised though and he’s taken their mum away so obviously I’m not saying he was exactly kind to them either.

So evil, what a vile POS. I’m seeing people online post about what a lovely GP she was.

Why aren't the men on Mnet sorting themselves out?

Instead of whining and whinging about women?🤔

Duncantoldme2 · 07/10/2026 22:46

Not sure why that post above got zapped. Was about the guy who killed his own 7 kids and another kid at his house.

‘Sleepover’ killer admits murdering partner, three children and raping girl as she lay dying

Killed his family then raped the school friend as she lay dying.

SmallDFartyCarNRG · 07/10/2026 22:57

Is anyone else unsure why they seem to have let a load of men out of prison to free up space, rather than women? I realise a lot of the women would need support as most of them won't be able to be employed (thanks in large part to AI) and have various needs men won't upon release, but were any women actually released early? I really thought we could free up whole female prisons and get the men into those!

I always wondered what happened to the 40 yr old Stephen Corrigan who raped Amber Gibson's dead body. Just found out you only get 9 years for "attempting to defeat the ends of justice" rather than necrophilia on his wrap sheet. Let's hope is probation realises what he actually did and keeps him out of jobs with women.
That poor girl.

He did. My point is that men can work on a myriad of qualities to get laid. But many of them just whone that women are shallow.

keepincool · 07/10/2026 23:22

I was talking about this at work only today. Men see themselves as superior to women, it's in-built. They want us to be the way they want us to be. When we step out of line they slap us back down, verbally or physically. They dislike women so much that some of them have decided that they can be better women than us - so we're relegated to "cis" women, with trans women obviously being superior. To me, the trans ideology is one of the more sinister ways that men have tried to demean adult human females. It will never get better. Women don't fight back like they did in the sixties and seventies. We've been lulled into a false sense of equality - but they don't see us as equal.

No. We know the answer to that question.

Loads of men have been let out of prison early because the UK has run out of prison places.

Yes, but I am sure I kept hearing all of the people in the system saying women should be the ones released because they are non-violent, the only issue being they often need MH support and often have abusive men waiting in the wings.
So, we just let the men out instead, or despite, all of the experts advice?

TooBigForMyBoots · 07/10/2026 23:55

Women are being released early. The criminal justice system is just one of the systems fucked by over a decade of aTory underfunding, mismanagement, incompetence and neglect.

BBC News - Masked 15-year-old stabbed schoolgirl, court told
www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmzxzxngq9d9o

'A masked 15-year-old who was captured on CCTV stabbing a schoolgirl had written notes saying he hated women, a court has heard.
Police were called to Thorpe St Andrew School, near Norwich, on 11 March, following reports that a 15-year-old girl had been stabbed in the back.
The defendant, who is now 16 and cannot be named for legal reasons,'

'He cannot be named'

So he is protected but women and girls whom he will go on to attack in the future, are not.

Says it all.

Duncantoldme2 · 08/10/2026 07:36

I don't care how old they are. He should be named and shamed. Piece of shit, waste of air.

The criminal justice system needs an overhaul. Priso should be for violent cries for the most part.

That should be a starting point. Other crimes, like fly tipping, should mean they have to do clean-up work for a fixed -punitive- number of hours per week. (On top of paid employment). Not physically able? Other community work. For a punitive number of hours. Etc etc.

And no parole for repeat violent offenders. And no bail for repeat offenders
