Naked Bike Ride

[cleaningthebog]

The one where the men get their jollies showing their cock and balls. There is a petition which is not getting much traction. You may want to sign if you don't want to encourage this.

Women get thier bits out too. If you don't like it you don't have to look.

What's wrong with it, and why is it relevant to feminism and women's rights?

I think it's a laugh, and don't have any issue with it

So no one actually knows what charity this event is in support of? 🤔

Normalising naked men (and women) is not a good idea.

Do you not think this is another step down the slippery slope? We need to protect children from thinking this is normal.

I hadn’t thought too much about it but I definitely think men who are aroused on it should be prosecuted. Maybe if they were forced to pay for extra police to deal with these men it might die out

I didn’t realise the cyclists are completely naked. How on earth does that comply with laws on indecent exposure?

I’ve signed it. Not a feminist issue strictly speaking - I wouldn’t want my young son thinking it’s normal for men or women to be naked in public.

OP why not post the link in AIBU for traffic too?

Yuck I don’t want to see that and I don’t want my kids seeing it. Men really do think they can do whatever the hell they like!

I don't like it. I don't want to see a load of naked people riding through town - why would I?

I bet you say that to women and children who've been flashed by a man in a raincoat. Gaslighting the victims. Very hard NOT to look when someone is naked in public!!

I think you're unfair to suggest this is particularly a pervy men thing to do as it is both sexes and peoples motivations may not be sexual at all. I imagine it might feel liberating to many.

I don't agree with the event though, I don't understand why it is considered ok for either sex to be out and naked in public. Not for the kids especially, I'd find it awkward for me if I came across it.

Women and children shouldn't have to be flashed like that. It's supposed to be a crime or at least an offence to go out in public naked.

Doesn't bother me, and I wouldn't care if my kids saw naked people. My kids are perfectly capable of figuring out that people aren't naked most of the time in public. I also don't think that being naked is threatening or shocking in this context.

So, you've seen it reported that some men have erections during this bike ride. You really think that is okay?

Why are you highlighting men being naked? Women are too?

Look closely at this pic. Look at the man leaning against the wall. Do you (those defending this filth) honestly, truly think this is ok for women (many of us rape survivors and others with various sexual abuse trauma) and children to come across this when out in public? Do you GENUINELY think this is ok????

(Picture with sensitivity image mode on to protect people who don't wish to view it, click on picture to see).

You are completely misrepresenting this event which is fully agreed with the authorities. It may not be your cup of tea but that doesn’t mean that you get to imply that all these people are perverts and and paedophiles?!

Pic still under review. It shows a butt naked male propped up against a brick wall with a semi erection while a little girl and boy are with 3 to 5 metres of him.

Just because it was agreed by authorities does not make it right. This is in the middle of the city where women (rape survivors), children, religious women, refugees, etc etc etc are passing. They could have done this bike ride in a rural area, a small island or section of a nudist area. Not smack bang in the middle of the city!

You’re just making yourself sound like a Nimby now. I am going to step out of this thread now because I don’t think you can agreeably disagree.

Photo won't upload but it is on this link. In WHAT OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES would it be ok for a man to be fully naked with a stiffy in the middle of the city with young children walking by? x.com/joseletemuniz/status/1673812708687245312?lang=ar

Any other man who was butt naked posing like that with an erection in the middle of a city during broad daylight would be carted off by police and kept in the cells while awaiting a psych evaluation.

The authorities also fully agreed with these events.

The authorities ! "Pride"

These things are advertised where they happen. Its easy to avoid them, like other events, Prides etc
