When will we stop trying to find excuses for predatory & threatening & dangerous men...

Ugh.

Fraggling · 18/12/2019 18:26

He followed them in his van, that's extra awful.

Still good that he got done, this behaviour is very common and certainly never (rarely) reported when I was young. We see encouraged to 'laugh it off'. :/

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 18/12/2019 18:28

If it was a cry for help that's all the more reason we should keep reporting and the police need to take it seriously, because clearly these poor men aren't getting the help they need...Crown Hmm

A "Cry For Help"

I'll remember that next time I need assistance Primark finding straight jeans.

FloraGreysteel · 18/12/2019 18:33

@CrissmussMockers 😆

Help for what?

He could have just got his cock out at a group of lads outside the pub and he would have been arrested.

But of course his cry for help involved intimidating and scaring women Hmm

WombOfOnesOwn · 18/12/2019 18:40

Yes, women, can't you PLEASE help this poor man with his poor sad cock?

Why Does He Do That by Lundy Bancroft, a study of abusive men based on a long career of treating them: Bancroft discusses how effectively many of his male clients (many of whom have convictions or are serving sentences for sexual/violent offending) have learned to say the psycho babble phrases to excuse their behaviour and avoid taking responsibility for it.

Whyjustwhy23 · 18/12/2019 18:43

But his dad had died he had to wank at a woman and teenage girl Sad

DeeZastris · 18/12/2019 18:46

The only reason he got his cock out is because he enjoyed doing so.

Yy to many creepy men (NAMALT) hiding behind psycho-babble.

Fouroutoffour · 18/12/2019 18:47

Tbf, that was his defense, not what the judge said. Still not sure it should be reported verbatim though

Fraggling · 18/12/2019 18:52

They do usually give a nod to the defence to be fair.

In this case he was found guilty so makes him sound like a whining git?

It makes me more angry when during the case esp when a woman is murdered they put the defence as what sounds like an unqualified headline.

I'm also pleased he got done. Doesn't happen much for this crime.

disingenuous, self serving bollocks, which is exactly what you’d expect from someone so tragic and pathetic their idea of comforting themself is by scaring girls and women.

Creep.

ArnoldWhatshisknickers · 18/12/2019 19:18

was thinking of that naked rambler man. Remember him?

Yes. Attention seeking plonker who couldn't wait to be rearrested for more publicity.

I was taught to point and laugh, but also to avoid as sex offending escalates.

Was also taught to avoid cross dressers for the same reason. My mother, aunts and grandmothers may not have known the term autogynephilia but they knew the behaviour.

Personally I put naked rambler in way different category, but understand others may not.

BitterAndOnlySlightlyTwisted · 18/12/2019 19:30

Neil Shipperley, 45, expressed remorse in court. Oh, I bet he did. I also bet he’s even more remorseful now the BBC has published his photo.

I’m quite old and had some dirty pervert masturbate in front of me in the street quite recently. I didn’t point and laugh, I was shocked and frightened. Very likely precisely the reaction the bastard wanted.

I can't believe his solicitor said everything came to a crescendo on the day in question
Was she deliberately taking the piss ?

Fraggling · 18/12/2019 19:43

Don't want to get in a row but I see nudity in general as very different to sexual aggression.
