They have been excercising their vile mysogyny for a while now. Their members join MN pretending to be something they are not and troll the site.
But this last weekend they have really surpassed themselves. Posting horrific images of domestic violence and when we dared to question it and share it with journalists twitter accounts and publications THEY tried to use the law where you cant share distressing images to silence US.
So after doing that they then tried to use and twist the law to suit their own ends. I also saw several rape jokes, one which said that a mums netter "wouldnt cry rape in the morning"
Now another MNer has just pmed me to say she has contacted several newspapers and hasnt heard a thing back. I contacted the Guardian last year about the sick disabilist comments on their site.
And heard nothing back then either. I think a lot of news outlets wouldnt want to touch this because it interferes with the "hero" rhetoric.
Now i am NOT anti Armed Forces. There are a lot of great people serving and going beyond the call of duty.
And some of those people using ARSE might not necessarily be in the Armed Forces. However it is an Army forum and this does reflect badly on them.
Like i said no one seems to want to touch them because of the "hero" rhetoric and they are ALL seen as good guys.
LESS than SIX MONTHS after the truth about Jimmy Savile was exposed (he was seen as a hero of sorts who did a lot for charity) he was reported many times (the first time in the early 1960s) and those kept getting ignored too.
I do NOT see why they should get away with doing what they are doing just because they happen to wear a uniform.
When mysogynists and rape apologists like these post these comments (including a comment about putting petrol on a womans hair and setting her on fire) and then try to twist the law to silence the people they are deliberately trying to cause distress to, its not too hard to see why a woman wouldnt report an assault.
There seems to be a very sinister undercurrent in society today that want to terrorise women and then when they stand up and say no there are manipulative attempts to silence them like the one ive described here.
No wonder many women wouldnt report an assault.
If ARSE believe they are doing nothing wrong then why are they hiding their more vitriolic mysogynistic threads to everyone except members.
It is a sad reflection on our society today. And there could be men like these serving in war torn countries coming into contact with vulnerable women.
And like Savile the issue is being ignored and sidelined and brushed under the carpet.
When ARRSE realised that a fellow MNer had taken some screen grabs they closed the threads to everyone but members so they could peddle their vile filth in private.
As ive said i really dont see why they should be able to hide behind a uniform. Whether the users of this site are soldiers or not the ARRSE site reflects badly on them
