Fucking horrific. And thank you to the Metro for publishing this act of sexual assault and animal cruelty under the "weird sex" section.

Honestly, what the fuck is wrong with men. How do 8 men find each other that would willing rape a pregnant goat to death? If there aren't loads of disgusting men out there how do gang rapes happen? coincidence that ab inch of disgusting bastards were together?

Fucking hell. That's horrific. As is every fucking brutal rape of (wo)man or beast. And as for the rape apologists - yes women can be sick and evil but I can't ever remember reading a headline of gang rape by a group of women. Men? Many times.

UptonSnodbury · 07/08/2018 22:44

Men commit the vast majority of violent and sexual crime but they're still the vast minority of men...

Hi all,

We've had a fair few reports from folks who've been quite upset by the thread title, so we're going to edit it now. Flowers

ChiefClerkDrumknott · 07/08/2018 22:52

Yes let’s edit the cruelty of men out of discussion because it’s uncomfortable, of course!
I was in a dispute with a male friend recently about why women legitimately fear men. He called me sexist. I said ok, look at the news now, tomorrow, in a week, a month, 6 months, a year. I guarantee there will be at least one story of male violence every day, and it will most likely be against a woman or a child. Then in a year come back and tell me I’m wrong.
I’ll wait.

LassWiADelicateAir · 07/08/2018 22:56

MNHQ could have left the reference to it being a violent attack by men- although maybe that goes without saying.

TiredPony · 07/08/2018 22:57

There's a link in the article to another saying that one of the rapists came back the next day to say they had had a nice time, so I think it is fair to say that they are not ashamed of their actions. What the fuck is wrong with the human race?

SophieLMumsnet · 07/08/2018 23:03

Sorry all - a trick title to edit. We'll add the 'by men' back in now.

user764329056 · 07/08/2018 23:03

On any given day there are multiple reports in the news about male violence, sexual, physical, whatever, and it’s all become so fucking normalised because it’s so prevalent everyone becomes desensitised to it. Male violence should be addressed for the epidemic that it is, not sanitised and made more ‘comfortable’. Call it what it is

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 07/08/2018 23:04

Oh i was just about to agree with lass and then sophiemumsnet commented

Deffo should have men in the title

UptonSnodbury · 07/08/2018 23:17

Where did it happen?

RebelRogue · 07/08/2018 23:26

Ahh I see we already had the "but..but..women" and "shame on you for not keeping this stuff hidden" and NAMALT.

BULLSHIT!!

Male violence is a thing. It happens every day,every hour all over the world. It's not "people" or "humans" being awful..it has a name! MALE VIOLENCE.

LassWiADelicateAir · 07/08/2018 23:45

No one is denying women can be violent but no one can deny the vast majority of violence and cruelty is perpetrated by men.

In the case of violence and cruelty perpetrated by women the reaction is usually "how could a woman do that/ how could a mother do that?" (I will admit to thinking that). This in itself just highlights how unusual such behaviour is and the fact that society , in general, expects better behaviour from women.

I say "expects" not in the sense that society has imposed higher standards on women but that women by their own behaviour have given rise to such an assumption.

UptonSnodbury · 07/08/2018 23:57

Men are also the majority of victims too, I believe, which must be quite intimidating for non violent men. Especially as people don't usually step in to help men.

RebelRogue · 08/08/2018 00:00

@UptonSnodbury violence caused by other men. Male violence is "woke" and doesn't discriminate..women,children,other men..goats.

UptonSnodbury · 08/08/2018 00:03

I wouldn't feel any better if my mild-mannered bookworm of a son was beat up by another man. In fact, I'd rather a woman attacked him as had have a better chance of escaping serious injury/defending himself.

crazycatgal · 08/08/2018 00:09

There's something really wrong with a lot of men.

LassWiADelicateAir · 08/08/2018 01:01

Men are also the majority of victims too, I believe

Indeed they are- in the vast majority of cases at the hands of other men.

And I have no idea what point you are trying to make here.

IDontEatFriedTurtle · 08/08/2018 01:02

or the infamous 'crush' videos where women crush puppies/kittens under their heels?

I would assume like most hardcore porn and prostitution that the women are coerced.

How about you don’t put that as a title and you put a fucking sensitive warning ffs.

How about you assume that any thread in the feminist section of an adult website is potentially sensitive. It's a terrible topic but then you did click on it, to potentially read more about it Hmm I'd personally rather know what I was about to click on rather than read "trigger sensitive" and have no idea what I am about to see.

IDontEatFriedTurtle · 08/08/2018 01:06

I think the fact that it was a sexual crime should have remained in the title MNHQ. Sexual violence is different. "violent attack" could mean kicked. Horrible but not the same still and I probably wouldn't have posted it in fwr.

Some of us vegetarian or vegan. Carnivores don't usually rape the animal before eating it.

They are raped if some are vegan i thought they would have known

I would assume like most hardcore porn and prostitution that the women are coerced.

I once saw an interview with a distraught woman crying because she'd been made to do one of those. The men asking for those videos are sick and disgusting. They are definitely a response to a male demand, organised by men with young women scarred for life acting out their perverted requests.

Floisme · 08/08/2018 07:26

What depresses me almost as much as male violence itself is when even decent men try and wave it away as nothing to do with them. It is to do with them. It is their class committing - what are the figures, 90% of violent crime and 98% of sexual crime? I don't listen in or try and intrude on all-male conversations but I do wonder whether they ever sit around and ask themselves what's going on.
