When did womens equality come to mean rapists locked in prison with women?

All of the gains of feminism get turned against us to a greater or lesser extent. The pill. Sexual liberation. Opening up workplaces. Corridors of power. Sport.

Always 2 steps forward 1 back with a lot of people wanting 3 steps back...

Boring.

Women and men locked in prison together is a terrible idea.
They are on secure mental health wards way too often and what happens? Clue. Not fun for the women. And who listens to mentally ill women?

I was on a mixed adult ward at 17. The other 10 or so beds had adult men in. I felt very uncomfortable. 3 just stared at me, for hours. Luckily it was orthopaedic so getting at me was tricky even if they had tried Grin

But still.

This is what you want? As an advance?

There are no max security womens prisons. They aren't needed. So there aren't the means to deal with extremeniy dangerous male bodied prisoners. Some prisons also have mother and baby programs so again you cant have Male bodied paedophiles in a prison with babies as not only should paedophiles be no where near babies and small children. You also cant have children around guns/weaponry needed to deal with dangerous prisoners that should he in a max security facility.

One of the (almost) funny things about this is that when we say we don't want men in women's spaces, men's rights activists will say: "You're accusing all men of being rapists!"

And then, when there is a proposal to put an actual, convicted rapist in a women's space, they still argue that it's OK. They won't even concede the point when you're talking about actual rapists?

What is it with these people? Why are they so utterly, bone-headedly stupid?

'The privacy/dignity angle doesn't wash with woke women'

You can't see an issue with a teen girl undressing with a load of men?

Interesting.

DuLANGMondeFOREVER · 18/02/2020 20:07

Don’t Corgi, you actually made me LOL. In public.

It’s a laugh or cry situation, for sure.

DuploTower · 18/02/2020 20:09

Thank you Sarah tancredi that's very useful info

DuploTower · 18/02/2020 20:09

When would a teen girl be undressing with a load of men?

Winesalot · 18/02/2020 20:10

So if the showers are open communal style, are you are ok showering with penises too Duplo? I know I wouldn’t be. Even if you were menstruating?

R0wantrees · 18/02/2020 20:12

Some prisons also have mother and baby programs so again you cant have Male bodied paedophiles in a prison with babies as not only should paedophiles be no where near babies and small children

In Canada, where there is full sex self-id policies, TS males convicted of child rape & sexual abuse have been housed in prisons with mother & baby units.

RoyalCorgi · 18/02/2020 20:14

See, if these tossers actually believed that male rapists didn't pose a threat to women (Ok, my eyes are rolling to the back of my head at this point, but bear with me) then they wouldn't be arguing to allow trans women in prison. They'd just be arguing for mixed prisons, full stop. Why bother segregating the sexes at all if men don't pose a threat to women? There are 80,000 male prisoners, and 4,000 female ones: you could just dot the women around the male estate.

Of course they don't argue for that because it wouldn't meet their need to be validated. They just want special privileges for male rapists who "identify" as women.

Or a teen boy undressing in front of a load of women and girls...

Most teen boys wouldn't be keen.

GCAcademic · 18/02/2020 20:15

Supposing your employer expected you to go on business trip, or to attend a conference, Duplo. But funds are tight and you have to share a room (this has happened to me, btw, so not an implausible situation). They expect you to share a room with a male colleague from another office who you’ve never met before. Oh, and it’s one of those super trendy hotels with a glass wall dividing the bedroom and bathroom. Would you be OK with that? And even if you are, can you understand that you would be in a very tiny minority?

FrogsFrogs · 18/02/2020 20:16

'When would a teen girl be undressing with a load of men?'

At a swimming club, many of which are run in schools, that only have communal changing.

So, still keen?

DuLANGMondeFOREVER · 18/02/2020 20:17

An entire water polo team found a naked transwoman in their pool shower. It’s not so far fetched that a older teen would be sharing a changing room with adult transwomen on her football/rugby/cricket team.
It used to be largely unthinkable, but now labour leadership contenders have said vulnerable women should have to share sleeping and living spaces with male transitioners, it’s no longer the case.

Beggars belief doesnt it.

If those programs are removed who is footing the bill for the emotional and mental difficulties suffered by the mother and the baby after the perfectly avoidable separation?

theflushedzebra · 18/02/2020 20:18

Canada is lost.

They also regularly hand out the morning after pill to women prisoners because they are having sex consensually, or raped, by the transgender, but intact males, housed with them because they identify as women.

I don't think that's really a situation to aim for. The government is required by law to keep prisoners safe - there is no way women are safe being locked up with any males.

The thought that anyone would think it's acceptable to house convicted rapists anywhere near women, is so completely beyond me, I admit I never thought I'd se it argued by the most ardent TRA, let alone a prospective Labour leader.

FrogsFrogs · 18/02/2020 20:18

But you know that, right, Duplo.

BadgertheBodger · 18/02/2020 20:18

Or loads of other sports. Or Primark. Or M&S.

theflushedzebra · 18/02/2020 20:20

I'm hoping that one day Canada will wake up to the utter barminess they have legislated for.

But if Jonathan Yaniv, or the morning after pill being required in women's prisons, doesn't do it, I don't know what will. Passage of enough time, perhaps.

Floisme · 18/02/2020 20:21

Duplo if you want stronger arguments then I suggest you read the whole thread.
Can you not see how incredibly rude it looks to rock up on page 37 and demand that we go over it all again, just for you?

FrogsFrogs · 18/02/2020 20:21

Duplo would you argue against international protocols that say single sex toilets are key to girls safety and participation?

FrogsFrogs · 18/02/2020 20:23

I think , Duplo will argue next, that women and girls should be

More brave
Less prim
Etc

Uh-huh.

Will be interested to see next post.

PreseaCombatir · 18/02/2020 20:23

I don't see how it makes any difference Whether a rapist is housed with male or female prisoners
I genuinely can’t believe someone just wrote this.
But keep ‘em coming guys, gonna need to crack put the factor 50 soon

Goosefoot · 18/02/2020 20:28

The privacy/dignity angle doesn't wash with woke women

Well, to some extent I think that's true, there are some women who do not seem to "get" that part of it.
Some of this is probably just personality differences, and things like up-bringing. But mainly, i my experience, women who think this way are younger and have limited experience, and don't really have a very clear idea what it would be like to, for example, be obliged to change a tampon in the same small space as a rather scary or creepy man - they just don't imagine a scenario like that.
