Attacking a statue 10 years in prison
Rape sentences 5 years in prison.

Think that should tell you all you need to know about how women are regarded in this country.

10 years for attacking a statue? When did this happen?

I wonder what you need to do to receive a 10 year sentence?

All this is because of that statue of a slave trader they chucked in the river, and XR being pretty successful at non violent protesting!

10 years I would imagine it would have to be a statue of some old bigot, slave owner or war monger that you deface. The kind of statue that Boris idolizes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep.

Does that mean you can get the jail for the auld traffic cone on the Duke of Wellington now then

You can go to jail for behaving in a way that others may find annoying.

Women live in a world where if they are walking home from a night out / late shift etc they actively have to think about how to reduce the risk of sexual assault or murder.

I live in a world when walking home my main risks are can I get pizza or pakora on the way?


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Where do you live? Certainly not London
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I know, I was wondering this. Twice this very evening I have crossed the road to avoid people whose body language made me suspicious. I was probably being over-cautious, but since I was randomly and violently attacked about ten years ago I am super-aware of who’s around me when I’m out at night. Within seconds of seeing someone up ahead, I’ve worked out their gender, their build, their speed and gait, whether they are walking towards or away from me, whether they’re on the phone, whether they have noticed me, and what will be around us when our paths cross. Sometimes I cross the road, sometimes I get my keys out ready. Just second nature.

Ok Jason Bourne

Like so many things the answers lie in education, poverty, policing resources and parenting. All expensive compared with passing a law and claiming the political high ground.

Nothings going to change, they were doing “reclaim the streets” protests back in the 70’s.

Also I find the whole “abuse” thing and lumping it all in the same category astounding. People online saying “every woman has at one point been harassed or sexually abused”. There’s a huge difference between flirting with someone and sexual assault.

I’ve been hollered at and had my ass squeezed and followed about by women in bars and clubs before but I wouldn’t blame all women for it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nobody is blaming all men.

Why you getting so defensive if it doesn't apply to you?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe you haven’t been on the internet or watched tv the whole week? People have been blaming all men.

Funny to you that a person has been attacked because he’s a man? Wow

Everybody should feel safe on our streets, be it men or women, but some ridiculous suggestions have come up recently like a 6pm curfew for men.

Yep, that’s what we should care about. Everyone should feel safe. Unfortunately just a pipe dream atm and I’m not sure what the suggestion is

Its true, i can't see this utopia of where everyone feels safe happening, it's impossible with the toxic society we currently live in which starts right from the top all the way down.

Just to note, I don’t need to be told to respect girls and women

Always have, always will

Cvnts who are going to do it, sadly, are going to do it, catchy slogans etc won’t change the mindset of an abuser or potential rapist

all we can do, is look after our own the best we can and keep an eye out for others when we are out and about

One comment on social media I see is "educate your son" which I don't really understand because how do you educate most men who are not going to attack women, but then also how do you educate somebody who does have that mindset and is clearly fcked up?
