@OneTerrificMouse Wow ! Trauma shaming. How empowering. Get you sticking it to the man. Do you even hear the double standard in your words ? Probably not, because of all the hot piss swirling round inside your head. See, I can do personal attacks too, rather than discuss something rationally.
Or perhaps many of these females aren't even females? I don't know. But I'm guessing that most of the young women rolling around on the floor pissed out of their heads whilst trying to pull another young woman's hair out might possibly be biological women ? Female violence on females isn't something that suddenly started happening when men started transitioning to women.
@Dervel I'm not sure what the answer is. One thing is for sure, the current method doesn't seem to be reducing levels of violence so maybe timeouts and naughty steps aren't the answer. I remember one little angel running round my legs on the school run pretending to stab me and making a gun with his fingers shouting headshot as he pointed at other parents and kids. He was about 7 and had been playing call of duty. Maybe Mary Whitehouse had a point ?
For every violent arse, there are multiple good men trying to teach their kids how to behave, setting a good example, coaching kids sports or working in children's activities such as scouting, Army Cadets etc... Men are already doing things, but without society wanting to, there is not much more they can do alone.
The thing we should be doing is locking up perpetrators for a long time. I have several police officers in my family and every one has first hand experienced of being assaulted by a woman who they were trying to protect from a violent partner. Charges are rarely pressed by the woman against the perpetrator so it continues.
One thing which doesn't work is to assume that all men are violent and treat them as a group with that characteristic.
@BertrandRussell What else could men do ? Serious question. Since the parenting methods of the day don't seem to be bringing up men who are unwilling to be decent people and not commit acts of violence, and castration doesn't seem to work according to Oneterrificmouse ( since trans women are effectively castrated and still seem to be committing the woman on woman violence apparently ). We don't live in a society where vigilantism is acceptable. If it were, maybe men could police the actions of other men like in the wold west. Maybe there would be all out war between factions of men. Who knows ? Our society creates laws which determine how we can act without expecting to be arrested. It decides on punishments for those who are prosecuted for violent behaviour. Maybe society in general needs to accept that when there is little to no fear of consequences, Lord of the Flies becomes the norm. All I can do for my part is to try and educate my kids to be alert to the dangers they face whilst trying to set a good example. That's all any INDIVIDUAL can do. Will I intervene to stop young men fighting these days ? Hell no. My life means more to me than that, for my kids sake, if not my own.
Would I step in to prevent a man threatening a woman ? Maybe and I have in the past. I was younger, less cynical and probably stupid(er). He probably beat the shit out of her when they got home anyway since she stayed in a relationship with him afterwards despite me offering to call the police.
@MrsSnippyPants I do agree, and it is a fine example of how crazy the world is right now. But we have to ask ourselves how we let it get this way ?
My replies are too long, so I am going to respectfully step out of the dialogue right now. It wasn't my intention to derail the discussion and the OP's question.
