and yet still so many people want yo make it easier for men to access women’s spaces

@JohnofWessex Look I created a thread on AIBU about Male victims of male violence. It started of a bit rough (my fault. I made the title too provocative and worded my first post really badly so I think people thought I was trolling) but more people are already posting there. I do agree with you that raising awareness of the different ways men can be victims of violence matters. I have a son. But I don't think talking about it on this thread will help because its a different issue. But if you do want to discuss it its there. More people will see it because more people visit AIBU.

Yes women have worked very hard to raise awareness about an issue which affects them.

Do you think we should take the lead in raising awareness about male on male violence too?

Women discussing VAWG does not prevent men discussing male on male violence.

How many murders of men do you think will be prevented if we make women as perpetrators as significant component of a discussion about male on male violence?

What is it with some people? They can't help themselves but start what-about-the-men ing on a thread about vawg?

I feel like I've been shouting about men's violence against women and girls forever. Do I care that men and boys are also being harmed by men? Yes, but guess what? Not my fucking problem. Let the men deal with that one because I'm not everyone's fucking mum.

And then we also have the "it's not transwomen, it's men!" <<geneflucts to the holy pride flag>> Go look at the MoJ stats for transwomen in prison for violent and sexual crimes. It far outweighs the general prison population. So either transwomen are more of a danger to women or violent men use a trans identity to access victims. Which is it? Either way male people need to keep (and be kept) out of women's spaces.

We're being killed at a rate of 2-3 a week and we can't talk about it without some twat rocking up to shout "squirrel!"

I might need more coffee.

That is useful information.

And as that awful Spanish hotel rape case (among others) showed, it's not just a perception of peer support. There is widespread actual peer support.

It would help if the police listened to women when they report a man they feel is threatening their life.

Violent males attack the women they have access to. Traditionally that would be relatives in the home but now abusive "husbands, fathers and siblings" are told they have a right to be in any female spaces so long as they declare special feelings.

And it shouldn't need pointing out that these public spaces aren't always busy.

Have you used shopping centre toilets during a quiet spell? Usually located up escalators and down long corridors, through several fire doors.

Have you ever stayed on a hospital ward at night?

Have you ever been a member of a cheapo unstaffed 24 hour gym with basic changing facilities?

Now these males have plausible deniability to be in any single sex female space whenever they want, ready for an opportunity to present itself.
