Predatory men pretending to be helpful and kind

[EdinburghFeminist]

This is a really depressing story but one that I probably shouldn't be surprised about given all the stories I've seen linked to on this board.
Homes for Ukraine: Housing scheme called danger to refugees www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-61311046

I honestly cannot imagine the mentality that leads some men to see a group of potentially traumatised and dislocated women and think: "What an opportunity!" I am aware of how naive that makes me sound.

But...but predatory men would never pretend to be anything else....

Ffs, bastards!

A poster on the thread about the right to have single sex rape councilling could not believe that a man would turn up to a group session unless he too had been raped. After all, why would man want to sit there listening to women's stories of sexual assault. Maybe I'm just too cynical but I would always question a males motives when it came to being around vulnerable people.

Indeed! Perhaps I should have added it to the 'this never happens' thread!

I dunno, the older I get the more cynical I get. The first thing I thought when this initiative came in was how many people will be trafficked for sexual and Labour exploitation, and that's a horrible thought but it is true and it is happening more than we know.

This was entirely predictable and another indication of how little the government actually cares about Ukrainian refugees, or women in general. A significant minority of men are disgusting predators.
