Male curfew

I’ve just seen on book of face that a 6pm curfew for all men has been put forwards.

Admittedly it’s reported by the gutter press and is at best click bait but the idea got me thinking...

In society currently, the emphasis is on women to be vigilant, this would be a start to curb a serious issue.

Thoughts?

Laws will always be broken by those that feel they stand to gain.

All this would do is keep those lawful men acting in a lawful manner.

With all of the gender equality, it’s still the men’s job around here. Mainly because the bin is the same size as my partner...but still!

Not a chance. Stop the contributing behaviours.

It seems a bit crass to also say more Police on the streets considering the alleged offender.

I’m not sure that I agree with the idea that it’s ‘the few’. The sheer number of women that are assaulted isn’t the work of just a few

Kneejerk bandwagoning nonsense. This murder is obviously a horrific act by a murdering bastard but we aren't going to stop murdering bastards by having curfews and reclaim the streets campaigns. Of course it's awful if women don't feel safe on the streets but bad things can happen to men aswell. Let's not tar all men as violent predators because of the murderous act of this perpetrator.

Of course a curfew would be unreasonable, but the context is worth thinking about in terms of how women are expected to *protect* themselves when what we really should be focusing on are the male predators, because even when a women does everything ‘right’ it still isn’t enough.

What about women who work nights, or walk their dog in the evening, or want to walk home from a friends house at 9pm.

We are often told to avoid, or not do these things alone.

I agree a curfew wouldn’t work btw, but it’s worth looking at things from our perspective.

Just the mere suggestion of a curfew on men and you’re already listing why it would be inconvenient and a hinderance for you when women have had to think about these things all of their lives just so we don’t end up assaulted or dead.

Maybe instead of a curfew men should do things in pairs so to make sure one or the other doesn’t do something illegal to a passing women

I don't think curfews are the answer... How does the poster go:

1) If someone is d*unk, don't r*pe them.

2) When you see someone walking by themselves, leave them alone.

3) Use the Buddy System! If it is difficult for you to stop yourself from r*ping someone, ask a trusted friend to accompany you at all times.

4) Carry a r*pe whistle. If you find that you are about to r*pe someone, blow the whistle until someone comes to stop you.

5) Don't forget: honesty is the best policy. When asking someone out, don't pretend that you are interested in them as a person. Tell them straight up that you expect to be r*ping them later. If you don't communicate your intentions, they may take it as a sign that you do not plan to r*pe them.

This! Grateful for it & I do the same with my own son.

They wouldn't need a court, if I heard of him behaving like what is being spoken of today on many platforms.

I've went through him before for

behaviors he thought were just him being protective but are actually more like controlling.

This particular one was his 'mate' snogging with his aunt & he took his anger out on my horsebox, told very harshly she's a grown woman & can make her own choices be them bad or not, she is another, like myself who has suffered at the hands of men and more than by one male.

and not overly pestering his gf when they broke up last time, have to wait sometimes and let it be what it is.

a quandary, could you change my mind?

Green Party peer Baroness Jones has suggested creating a 6pm curfew for men in the wake of Sarah Everard's disappearance.

But of course in this instance, it would be a great idea to get the majority of police officers off the street and stop them from offending.

"We as a society have to make the streets, places we live, safer for All."

Late at night if I'm walking and I see a lady coming towards me, or I'm catching them up, I will cross the street to the opposite side. If I see a lady on her own and someone approaches her I keep an eye.

When ever something bad happens like this and others, the spotlight is put on it "rightly so" but it doesn't seem to take to long for the spotlight to be turned off and the subject forgotten.

I don't know how to ensure ladies feel safe and are safe.

Women are told not to go out at night in case something bad happens to them. That's absolutely fine.

Keep them indoors so the men can roam free without having to worry that they might be enticed into attacking a woman. Protect the men's freedom.

It may not be a curfew for women but they are advised not to go out alone or at certain times or in particular areas. Maybe they could make the same recommendation to men, particularly because men are the reason women are advised to stay in. Just saying ...

(copied from a different thread but the point is the same)

We can take personal responsibility for actions that put us in harm's way. Not that anyone deserves anything to be done to them going about there daily business or whatever.

But growing up in an around Bedford there was a fair bit of Gang related violence. I was told by a gang member I was at college with at the time that I would be a target, because of my size. Showing the others how hard they are by taking on someone bigger than them. So knowing that information I wouldn't go anywhere near the areas that i know Gangs operated. I also wouldnt go into certain parts of Bedford at night because of my skin colour also making me a target. Until one night I did when d*unk to get something and I was mugged. That was my fault for going somewhere i knew was possibly dangerous while alone and intoxicated.

What happened should never of happened to that girl or anyone else. But we are responsible for our own safety, even in a relatively safe country like this

There and to the left a bit

Sledgehammer to crack a nut is the phrase that springs to mind here.

Everybody, regardless of gender, *should* be free to go where they want, when they want, free of fear, but this is not the way to achieve it, in the slightest - for starters those determined to continue to cause fear won't be deterred by it, so would be a move against a majority whilst not making the blindest bit of difference to a minority.

The way to combat it, is instilling values in people and harsher sentences for those that refuse to uphold them.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I haven't read through the contributions so forgive repetition.

It's an interesting provocation, turning around the message to women to apply personal curfews, along with dressing modestly.

I don't believe it's meant to be a serious suggestion of a curfew but a way of getting everyone to think about the ongoing narrative that 'she put herself in danger because...' It's proving harder to sell that line with the Sarah Everard case.

Younger men are more likely to die on our streets so a curfew might help reduce those numbers, yet never suggested for that reason.

It unfortunately is not just men committing violent crime.

In 2019 the of number proportional arrests for violence against a person was 46% for women and 39% for men. Sexual offences was female 1% and men 5%. The only categories where females weren’t arrested more was for drug possession (F 8% / M 11%), possession of a weapon (F 2% / M 4%) and robbery (F 2% / M 3%). All other categories were either equal or women were arrested proportionally more.

Probably because the same people that think this is a good idea couldn't care less about mens lives in reality

Same type of people that would laugh at male suicide rates or working class boys failing at school. The same type people that would happily drink out of a mug with a "Male Tears" logo on it

They are activists for their gender not for humanity as a whole

In 2019 the of number proportional arrests for violence against a person was 46% for women and 39% for men. Sexual offences was female 1% and men 5%.

It was a tongue in cheek comment really. I’m sure that there are many crimes committed by women. We’re not all angels. Nonetheless, it is women who are advised against doing many things.

"Wasn’t there an implied curfew for women when sutcliffe was at large??

Considering men are STILL attacking, r**ing and killing women, maybe a curfew ain’t such a bad idea after all.... "

thats like saying considering people are still attacking r*** snd murdering maybe we should put in a law against murder, attacks and r*** - oh wait those exist and are ignored by murderers attackers and rpists why would they pay any more attention to a curfew

the only thing that is going to make a difference is a culture and education shift - teach men while they are still boys snd continually as they grow up that women are not there to be their property or their victims , rather than teaching women to protect themselves from men

No we are not angels, neither gender is.

Maybe it is how we are advised those things that fear is instilled? Yes it’s good to know what could happen and how you could stop some of those things, have a healthy awareness of your surroundings. Unfortunately if someone really wants to attack you, no matter what you do they will, as it’s their mindset.

I agree a curfew wouldn’t work btw, but it’s worth looking at things from our perspective.

Just the mere suggestion of a curfew on men and you’re already listing why it would be inconvenient and a hinderance for you when women have had to think about these things all of their lives just so we don’t end up assaulted or dead.

Maybe instead of a curfew men should do things in pairs so to make sure one or the other doesn’t do something illegal to a passing women "

Finally someone who gets the actual point . Of course it would never be implemented but many here are proving the point so well. Its ludicrous to suggest imposing a curfew on men but very few batt an eyelid when people say women shouldn't go out alone after dark if they don't want to be r*ped.

And yet we tell women not to go out at night, to watch what they do or wear because of the actions of others. Rather than victim blaming and telling women to be afraid, when are we going to actually address the problem?

Obviously it is impractical. But it does highlight what we as women are brought up to do.

How do we change it? I don't think it's all about teaching boys how to be respectful. It's also about teaching girls what is and isn't acceptable. And some of this is from parents. There shouldn't be a gender divide in small children. But yet boys are encouraged to wrestle but if I girl joins in oh don't hurt the girl. At the age of 5 I'd put money on my niece taking on any boy on eqyally. We've let her rough and tumble with my two older boys. They now see her as an equal when play fighting. It's a complex thing but I can't help but feel if boys at a young age saw girls as equal. Then they will carry that on in further on in life and see us women less as targets.

I don’t believe for a second that anyone believes in a curfew for men but it has started a debate hasn’t it?

Men being attacked and murdered for sexual reasons will not happen to men in the same way or numbers as it happens to women. It’s almost as though we have come to accept it. News reports stating “she was walking alone” well so was the perpetrator but their actions aren’t questioned. The narrative has to change.

Absolutely ridiculous. Especially when a man can identify as a woman.

It seems the only way people can think of resolving problems is to divide people by race, gender or religion.

Are the streets going to be policed by women only forces?

Are women not capable of violence to men or each other? Walk down a high street on a Saturday night after the pubs shut and see the fights.

I totally sympathise with anyone who has ever encountered violence or felt threatened, but locking huge groups of society away is not the answer.

Surely as with everything it’s about education and communication and discussion. You would be surprised how many parents done want their school age child to be involved in any kind of relationship or sex education lessons at school.

Also how many men on here thrust their cocks at women that specifically in their profile say they don’t want them and think it’s acceptable? That’s part of the same thing consent and accepting no means no.

There are always two sides, and you will always get those that jump on each side as it follows their own narrative. Like media reporting. Both sides think they are right and believe the other is wrong.

As intimated in few other posts, there should be no need for either, but we all are products of our environments and the only way to do it change attitudes is to break the chains of those attitudes at an early age, people say education but education can be biased a certain way. Cultural, Ideological, just simply environmental.

I think that if you’re concerned about a loss of personal freedoms, then you need to have a think about the reality of the situation for people right now.

You don’t want to not be able to do something, yet it’s acceptable that we tell women what to wear or what time to go out in order to mitigate the actions of others...

I was with you right up until you mentioned the boots. Everyone knows it's the people who wear trainers when they're not actively engaged in sport who are the dangers.

Of course, the *real* wrong 'uns are the ones in dress shoes and posh suits. More red flags than a May Day parade.

"Men should also not to wear hoodies, anything with a camo pattern, stompy boots or similar because such items of clothing can render them threatening

I was with you right up until you mentioned the boots. Everyone knows it's the people who wear trainers when they're not actively engaged in sport who are the dangers.

Of course, the *real* wrong 'uns are the ones in dress shoes and posh suits. More red flags than a May Day parade. "

I was deliberately stereotyping. I wear stompy boots (Docs), not that I can stomp in them! I'm female, btw.

How are men supposed to commit suicide at night by throwing themselves off bridges and in front of trains because there’s little to no help for men’s mental health?

Nothing like a bit of totally pointless "whatabouttery" to expose a mindset.

To the men who say it's mental that someone suggested this. It was a conversation starter yes.

But imagine in your home town there was a gang going around in a car looking for and assaulting lone males.

You're telling me that wouldn't change how you went about your business?

There's more help than people realise. Sure waiting times for certain therapy are growing and growing. But it's out there. Problem is getting men to speak out due to people thinking feeling are a female thing and not a human thing..

Indeed, it always crops up when someone feels they fit the targeted audience. They might as well say:

No. There needs to be better education of boys, both by their fathers and by society. Caging them after 6 would just move crimes earlier and would needlessly punish all the good men who don't cause any problems.

"I’ve just seen on book of face that a 6pm curfew for all men has been put forwards.

Admittedly it’s reported by the gutter press and is at best click bait but the idea got me thinking...

In society currently, the emphasis is on women to be vigilant, this would be a start to curb a serious issue.

Thoughts? "

I think a lot more education can done in schools about sexual assault, but honestly most men learn how to treat women by watching how their fathers treat their mothers during early childhood. So maybe better support for families struggling with domestic violence so that young children don't have to witness it.

Just my opinion of course. I'm sure there's no one perfect solution, it will require a lot of things I'm sure.

It’s utterly ludicrous. It’s like saying all Muslims should not be allowed out to stop Islamic terrorism or blacks shouldn’t be allowed out to protect other blacks from black on black knife crime. These are just a couple of similar examples I’ve seen on Twitter today that are derogatory to members of society.

It’s easy to say that but take a look at the Luke Mitchell case. 16 years after being convicted new evidence is coming to light and someone else has very recently taken in for questioning.

How would you explain to someone that their family member was executed under false pretences?

Of course all men shd not b considered a danger that is mad! But generally these crimes are committed by men like it or not! And yes of course there are bad women! I also think it's hard for men to understand how women feel not being one! I know I feel uneasy cycling to work at 3 in morning when I see men walking along! And I know it's something I must accept! Not a easy solution unfortunately!

A lot of boys grow up with weak of absent fathers. How do you think they will be affected by this education?

Honestly, no, such a terrible idea and I would never ever agree with it.

But I have to be honest the thought of no men being allowed out after 6pm is pretty beautiful! I would feel extremely safe compared to how I feel now when I walk alone. It's crazy to think of it like that. But yeah I would never want it to happen.
