Yet another young woman attacked by a male. When will it end?

CreadanLady

First we had Aisling Murphy murdered while running.

Then we had the "white 40s male" who attacked another girl who was out running, from the other thread.

And now we have a young woman walking home who was brutally beaten by a 13 year old male for aboslutely no reason (not that there is ever a good reason)

It is outrageous. What the hell is wrong with these guys that they do this?

The worst is, this 13 year old male will face no significant consequences whatsoever, which will only embolden him and he we be back out on the streets and will continue to be a danger to girls and women.

I'm more shocked that they felt the need to mention the skin colour of the perpetrator, a shocking display of racism from the media.

What exactly is the craic with ‘some’ of this generation of male teens… ? Out stalking women and then violently attacking them ? Absolute ghouls….

Seems that there is a particular weirdo, violent, and malevolent undercurrent to elements of that generation…not good to see..

Another in Stephen's green yesterday, woman in her 50s attacked

It wasn't an attack on a female, they would have attacked anyone who was there regardless of their sex or race or creed - am I doing this right?

Nailed it 👍🏻

These kind of attacks never happened before. Never in history. Now it's like one a day. I blame video games like Wordle.

Your lack of comment on the thread concerning the case of a homeless man attacked and hospitalised by a woman who then went on to kill himself is noted by the way. She received community service.

No one wants to see anyone attacked or abused but this painting of all men as being culpable for these events is sick.

is it possible attacks are happening at the same frequency but the media are reporting it more as it’s popular?

I'm curious... what do you expect the vast majority of men, who don't behave this way, and don't socialise with such nutters, to do about it?

Well,yes, but if it was a white male who was attacked or called names no one would care.

Call a group of black people names and its racial abuse and this matter is to be broadcast all over the airwaves.

Im wondering if a group of red haired freckled people walked down the street in Lagos and their "scum" shouted hiya Paddy,you red haired milk bottle would that make Nigerian media headlines,would the Nigerians sit around and ttalk about how terrible it all is.

If a group went to China for the next leg of their journey and a lout shouted,hey roundy eyes carrot head, would the chinese media self flagellate themselves,answers on a postcard.

I know you're right, it's f**king awful how tough we have it as white males in rich countries, it's like the whole world is against us :(

Yet another thread about an attack because the victim is female?

Was there a thread for this attack two weeks ago? Or do male victims just not matter?

I think it was more to prevent an outpouring of racism/xenophobia...which was entirely possible/likely given recent events

The Night Jack Woolley got attacked there was about 10 others attacked by the same group and none of them received press coverage. A person was attacked elsewhere in Dublin the same night and was seriously injured again nothing in the media. There are violent attacks on people everyday.

The problem is that the media ignores violence against males by focusing on attacks on females, but more males are being assaulted. The scumbags don't care who they attack as nothing will happen to them.

Male on male violence is more normalised as it's always been a thing - women are seen as more vulnerable in society and if they are being attacked it really makes you think something is rotten.

I mean it's not rocket science ffs.

Thats it , keep running people down for their immutable characteristics, you are doing the right thing and are a good person because of it.

That makes no sense.

Tell the lad who gets his face smashed in and gets brain damaged that women are more vulnerable and see what they say!

it's just so sad that when these things happen the usual absolute gobsh*tes come out with the "waaaa what about us what if we were attacked no one would care I'm a white male help me"... you're top of the food chain buddy be thankful of that.

Yikes.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt but that has come across as incredibly racist and misogynistic.

I don't believe that my sex or my colour makes me better or worse than anyone else.

It will never end, violent crime has been there since the dawn of time and it will continue till the end of time. The victims are the ones who have the best shot of reducing it happening to them. Its awful sad but you cant protect everyone all of the time so the onus is with the individual alot of the time for there own safety.

It is awful about that poor man, but women attacking homeless men who then go on to commit suicide is not really a societal issue. It is a complete outlier, a very rare event unlikely to be repeated at any significant frequency.

Violence and harassment against women and girls by males is a major societal issue that is an epidemic. It is happening every day of the week.

edit.

People already have their mind made up by polarising articles

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118571801#Comment_118571801

We're also more likely to be attacked.. and strength/ability to defend yourself isn't shared equally among all men, so the risk is just as high, regardless of being physically stronger than women.

The point being that any violence in society should be remarked upon, with us seeking to minimize it from occurring. Not just when it happens to women, which is what the current media efforts seem to imply.

Still, I do agree that there's little value in pointing out the violence directed towards men, in response to threads like these. Then again, I see little value in these kind of threads either, because there is little in the way of practical suggestions for reducing violence towards women, that doesn't resort to painting all men as being responsible.

We can see from the start of this thread that you were the first to make a very reactionary comment. You used this attack as a springboard to gain an advantage and feeling of superiority over others...

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118571847#Comment_118571847

Checked it.

It's not there.

Sure, that works somewhat, but wouldn't it also make sense to have the same chat with the parents to ensure that brothers aren't raised with the same beliefs? Provide training to all parents in how to raise their children, to avoid this kind of outcome. Perhaps also take a look at their education, and what experiences they had to turn them into such ****.

Still.. Thanks for giving an answer to my question.

Why is it awful ? He was an Irish man as far as Im aware, that guy was born top of the food chain didn't you know !? So don't worry about it, he'd only be crying poor me anyway if he'd have survived.

You've won me over to your side guys Im all on board with the crowd now.
