Muslim charity run

[Thomasina79]

Has banned women and girls over the age of 12 from participating. Thoughts?

@WeeGeeBoredwhy is this ok?

Given the current climate, I can understand this being enforced for the charity run. They don't want women and girls harrassed along the way, a group of fit men will be safe.

If they don't want women and girls harassed, they should ban MALE participants, not female ones!

@ThatSpryShaker So let's I say I organise a park run that excludes black people. According to your reasoning, that would be totally okay because black runners can just go to any other park run? 🙄

” I know why … but tell me …”

you are oozing toxic power / control

you are shooting yourself in the foot … keep going, save us the trouble !

I'm very late to this discussion, just seen this. I can't believe this is happening, being tolerated and actually being defended on this board. Doesn't matter how much was raised, this is discrimination. I hope it isn't allowed to take place in this form next year. (Now off to read the rest of the thread).

It's the same bloody thing.
If you are making people uncomfortable because of YOU whether you are a child or an adult chooses to modify their clothing in an inappropriate sexually charged manner then you should be held accountable and should be made to stop doing it.
But go on let male teacher dress the way I said.
Let's see if you keep the same energy.
I know you won't though

And there it is

My God.

And you think that it will reflect badly on us ("I want to hear you say it out loud") if we explain why we've got a right to undress, exercise, compete or have trauma counselling away from men, and men like you, who think rape gangs look bad.

I told you you had no idea how you were coming across (you didn't even think we could tell you were a man) but you actually scale new depths. Do keep talking, Operation Let Them Speak rarely worked so well.

Eh? The pp wants to stop teen girls participating. Nonsense. Damaging sexist tripe.

But this is the UK where men and women are equal under the law. If I wanted to attend this event and run, as a woman why shouldn’t

Because it's not for you just like many organizations for just women are not for men. It shouldn't be hard to understand that.

Women only gym- not for men. Do you understand?

But completely unsurprising

Safeguard is essential and it works both ways for the protection of all

Not sure we have had a summer of anti Muslim protests ….

cousin marriage - we have seen questionable NHS guidance published very recently - again not anti Muslim

we are discussing equality / human rights / adhering to the law / protected characteristics…

is any of that anti - Muslim ? ?

Women only gyms are to protect women.

“Family friendly” runs that exclude women are not for the safety of “families”

Interesting perspective.

So, in your imagination, do children also need to have DBS clearance to work with adults?

Keep going …
you are demonstrating the dangerousness of your views
read the room. ……

So when an adult male is "uncomfortable" attracted to a child, it's the child's fault?

I have no words.

Sorry I cleared it up.
I meant It doesn't look good on the pakistani muslim community even though 99 percent of them are not like that.
Yes the crimes committed against those young girls were absolutely horrific.

Now here's a thing.
How about all us mumsnetters apply to run for this Muslim Charity Run. If nothing else it would cause an admin storm.

An absolute disgrace and another reason why Islam does not fit with western values. If this was simply a “charity run” and it said no women allowed there would be uproar but we allow it because “we must be inclusive” whilst their religion is a step back for women in Britain! Just gross tbh

I have the words
dangerous
proves the point

Look this is becoming like gender woo woo. The more you engage with something that is so plainly wrong the more chances they have to accuse you of bigotry and find complicated ‘explanations’ which are so ambiguous they can mean anything they want them to mean.

The British public is waking up to this, I think enough chat has happened and now we need to focus on activism and writing to people in positions of authority.

Which is so so so so so rare.
But it's horrific either way

Having grown up around these views I am not surprised. But I think many will be shocked to the core when the sunlight hits this.

Prepare yourselves. The most dangerous and deranged TRA you can remember is going to look reasonable and peaceful in comparison.

Now that’s ridiculous, but what I said still stands
