6pm curfew for men...

    ...in the UK

    Green Party peer Jenny Jones has called for a 6pm curfew for men so that women can feel safe especially after the disappearance of Sarah Everard.

    So it looks like this charming lady is pointing the finger at all men because (as we all know) a lot of men skipped school that day they covered "don't beat up, harass, rape and murder women'.

    This comes on the back of Ray Darcy on his radio show earlier today talking about how us men should get our act together because women feel unsafe while walking out at night alone. He mentioned his wife avoiding an area near where they reside, referring to it as the "rape area" even though he admitted no rape ever occurred there. There was a suggestion that other men were at fault (presumably we aren't telling our rapist friends to stop) and that it was somehow the fault of the parents, i.e their daddys (not mommy's) forgot to tell their little boys the rights from the wrongs.

    The world is a horrible place, there are horrible people out there that for whatever reason think it is acceptable to harm you. I'm fairly sure men are less safe out at night than women but I stand to be corrected on that one. As a man I don't feel safe out at night time or even during the day depending where I am. I avoid certain areas, I don't be in town on my own at night. I don't walk out of nightclubs at 3am, wander down a dark alleyway etc etc.

    You can't simply walk up to individual capable of such horrible things and tell them "stop now, that's not on" and he has a breakdown and agrees. These people don't respond to reason.

    Is it fair to suggest all men should be targetted so that women can enjoy some sort utopian society in the evenings with the sisterhood.

    She also believes that discrimination of all kinds will be lessened as a result.
    “In the week that Sarah Everard was abducted and, we suppose, killed—because remains have been found in a woodland in Kent—I argue that, at the next opportunity for any Bill that is appropriate, I might put in an amendment to create a curfew for men on the streets after 6 pm. I feel this would make women a lot safer, and discrimination of all kinds would be lessened.”

    I object to my husband , my son , my brother and my nephews being tarred with that brush . They are gentle kind men who wouldn’t harm any one

    I don't think that suggestion will get any support, it's as bizarre as it is dangerous.

    Yep, and likewise I'd object to any suggestion of locking myself away from 6pm to keep myself safe and away from all men.

    Green party peer what's her face is just trolling

    Whatever we do, lets not f**king mention or even entertain the fact that the vast majority of these rapist $hitbags are habitual offenders, with multiple convictions, whom the judiciary deem fit to come in and out of their free legal aid law racket like clockwork.

    Imagine being able to say something as sexist as that and to know that you'll have your job the next morning.

    Sure one is a frequent patron of the UCD grounds, I suppose as they say he done his time but then again the women he attacked, raped and near murdered and that's all they could put on him will sleep well at night knowing he done his time......


    Amazing world we live in.....

    Who does that attacking though? Bet majority of those are from Men too.
    If there was a curfew those men wouldnt get attacked either


    No in favour of it...people need education on not to be shiitheads

    Childish nonsense.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,205 ✭✭✭Vestiapx


    Was it not a copper ? So by this logic should it not simply be no coppers out after 6 ?

    I am sure the men would find a woman at home to attack.
    If you have that depraved and deranged a view.

    Wow.

    Im just saying....if you looked into it you would find majority of people doing attacking of men and women on the streets would be men. Ergo if you had a curfew both types of attacks would drop!

    Mod:

    On review of this thread I'm keeping it closed. No need for yet more gender wars topics, especially when it's in a different country than Ireland and gauging off the responses already it just isn't going to end well.
