Toxic male violence AGAIN [warning, distressing content]

Such horrendous crimes no longer rate national headlines, just a story in the local press

What the hell goes through a man's head to want to do this ?

What are MEN doing to tackle the huge number of rapes and sexual assaults committed by their SEX (not gender)

Then they wonder why we (most of us) don*t want them in our safe spaces, where women or children are in vulnerable situations.

Vile. Such evil.

Bowlofbabelfish · 05/10/2018 19:28

There is no hell deep enough for such men.

Heartbreaking

BigChocFrenzy · 05/10/2018 19:51

Let's hope the rapist gets a full life sentence - no parole, no excuses -
and that he serves it in a men's prison,
not in a cushy hospital and not in a women's prison

OP posts:
BigChocFrenzy · 05/10/2018 19:54

and that if he has any assets at all - car, bike, bank accounts, designer clothes etc - all are sold and the proceeds put in trust for the baby

It feels so overwhelming. These depraved, disgusting men - no, not all men but pretty much only men. What kind of tiny, warped, festering little minds must they have? It feels like there are so many of them, soaked in pornography and abuse so visceral and degrading and violent. It feels so bleak to read these things.

Mrsemcgregor · 05/10/2018 20:06

It’s too horrific to even imagine.

I noticed blackoutblinds got some grief on _chat for posting about it. But I think it’s important that people understand these horrific things DO happen. It’s becoming an increasingly dangerous world for women and children Sad

WTFIsAGleepglorp · 05/10/2018 20:07

Facebook is filling up with screenshots of a particular profile already as well as anti Islamic abuse.

No idea where these two got conflated together.

As if the situation is bad enough.

BigChocFrenzy · 05/10/2018 22:03

His nationality, religion or skin colour are irrelevant ( although the odds are that he's N Irish)

Men are the sex that commit 98% of all sexual assaults
That is why we need some facilities - where women and girls are vulnerable - to remain single sex, safe spaces.

However, we can't - and definitely shouldn't - try to keep men away from babies & kids - especially within families, where so much child abuse occurs

So men need to change
Those men who aren't rapey scum, need to drive this change
They need to stop waiting for women to sort out all the problems of society

Agree CaptainBrickbeard.

BigChocFrenzy · 05/10/2018 22:14

I posted in FWR because we discuss the toughest topics here, that other parts of MN avoid

I want to know what has gone wrong with some men and how can society - not just women - change this.
Are such evil crimes going to increase ?

I've read claims that a minority of men are not satisfied by "ordinary" pornography,
their brains keep needing ever worse depravity for stimulation and that this can spill over into their real lives.

I don’t think so,choc
Nothing t9,do with society just a sick perverted person
Sometimes that it is what we have
We can’t cure some ppl
We just can’t

WTFIsAGleepglorp · 05/10/2018 22:37

Nothing t9,do with society just a sick perverted person

Sorry, no. There is something wrong with society.

Pornography is everywhere, 'barely legal' stuff and pictures of child abuse labelled as 'kiddie porn', making sound almost cute.

Something is encouraging this sense of entitlement to use and experiment with the bodies of others, whether it's animals, children or women.

BigChocFrenzy · 05/10/2018 23:50

There have always been a few evil sadistic men, but the frequency and severity of the atrocities seems to have increased,
both for individuals in our own country
and for whole movements in some other countries, e.g. rape and slavery returning as tools of war.

There is an Overton window in politics that defines the acceptable subset of political ideas.

Occasionally that gets dragged to the left or right - e.g. Attlee, Thatcher - and society changes dramatically within a decade

imo, the "Male Behaviour Window" seems to have been pushed massively to "Violent & Sadistic"

I suspect one cause is online pornography because that is a sudden social change, from tech innovation, that has never occurred before in human history
It is much more vivid than paper pictures or the written word
It can be used for hours in private, without social constraints
It stimulates the brain far more.

Particularly as some young men now will have started watching violent porn while they were still children

Some boys & men may be more vulnerable to its effects, just as some people can be far more easily adicted to alcohol, whereas others are mostly unaffected by its ready availability.

I'm in bed talking to my partner about this (she's a clinical psychologist), we've both agreed that pornography does probably have some effect on the brain and might result in some extensive usage causing desensitisation but without access to any studies backing that up I can't say for sure. I personally think porn screws with our brains and with conceptions of what a normal human being looks like and how they behave. My own solution is pretty simple... Avoid it, it's nonsensical stuff anyway. As to society, porn is too easily available and there are too many gullible young men and women out there still willing to do it, but that's the price we pay for letting 18 year olds achieve majority. What can I say, tell your kids not to do it?

As a man and a father I can say this news story is about the most horrible thing I can imagine and hopefully the creature will be killed fairly swiftly by a lifer while on remand. It's not something to blame on men as a whole and nearly all of us should vigorously resent that insinuation. One poster here suggested that the rest of us should do more against this sort of thing but I'd ask, how? I don't know any child rapists, a quick straw poll of my friends and family should reveal the same thing! Not quite sure what was going on there...

BigChocFrenzy · 06/10/2018 00:46

Change should start with changing the aggressive sexist behaviour that many men tolerate or even participate in

  • as you say, very few people know a baby-raper

so first steps are shutting down any rape jokes or rape apologists as unacceptable,
making the social norm be that sex is only permissible with enthusiastic consent

OP posts:
BigChocFrenzy · 06/10/2018 00:53

We need Parliament making laws with serious penalties re sadistic porn,
especially for any supplier making it easily available to under-18s, or any adult not safeguarding kids from porn they use themselves.

The police, schools and SS need to enforce this

Schools need to invest more time in socialising boys wrt attitudes towards their future sexual partners
and again about enthusiastic consent being mandatory - all of which might help safeguard babies

Big choc is right.
It's ordinary normal men who have to set the boundaries as to what is acceptable among men.
Obviously no one is going to condone horrible acts such as this.
But 'locker room' type talk is where a normal decent man can shift things slightly in the right direction.
It's hard to swim against the tide, of course. GC feminists understand that well.

But you guys have to do something - maybe restigmatise porn ? That might chip at the problem a bit, any improvement is good. Or maybe you can think of something more efective, I'm no expert myself.
But you must actively do something rather than simply claim neutrality - otherwise, claiming namalt comes across as self absorption. Pleading innocence while not lifting a finger to help won't do much for current And future victims.

Imagine we have to think about how to safeguard babies, bigchoc I mean tiny little babies.
I thought I'd heard it all.
That poor little baby.

bd67th · 06/10/2018 01:27

[Violence] is not something to blame on men as a whole you say, and yet earlier in the same sentence you condoned male violence by saying hopefully the creature will be killed fairly swiftly by a lifer while on remand. Retaliatory male violence is still male violence. Male violence is the number one thing that keeps women subordinated to men. I wrote about this very issue just this morning: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3385392-Being-pro-choice-does-not-excuse-male-violence

The perp needs to face court, he needs to face justice, and he needs to be jailed until he dies.

BigChocFrenzy · 06/10/2018 03:00

7days Remember the national outrage when the story first broke of a man raping a 12-week old baby - headlines everywhere
then came a few other cases
and now a 2-week old baby doesn't rate so many headlines

It is becoming a more frequent event, nearly the routine horror story every few months.
I wonder if over the last couple of years there been a ramping up of baby rape porn to cause this vile trend

Boundaries have been continually stretched in violent porn and it has become mainsteam for boys and young men to watch this, quite different to the erotic mainstream of 5 or 10 years ago

men.

this is what we deal with on this board.

men.

and how abominably they allow each other to treat the rest of us - babies, children, women......

they don't care.

Patriarchy.

Desensitization, bigchoc,on all sides

Tbird22 · 06/10/2018 20:29

Give the filthy pervert to me, I know exactly how I'd deal with him. It wouldn't be painless and it certainly wouldn't be quick. I figure if he's 25 now he could have another 60 years of agony to live through at my hands.

Tbird22 · 06/10/2018 22:05

No, he needs to made to suffer the most agonising torture imaginable until he dies and if he is in prison then that would be done by a male. You can't tar everyone with the same brush. Absolutely no disrespect meant here but even a wife beater has morals of some sort and would be only too happy to deal with scum like this.
