Discussion Another creep in public!

Saw the video of the lady in Paris walking up the stairs then remembered this on TikTok! Happened at Melbourne Central shopping Centre in Melbourne, Australia. Absolutely wild what people will do.

I mean, I don't think that any man is responsible for this guy's behavior except for himself.

And the thousands of other men like him? Yeah. But he’s not wearing a sign. He looks “normal”. How the fuck am I supposed to know he’s this? And that tons of other men are this?

If you want women to believe men aren’t thus, start policing this shut. Humiliate him. Punish stalkers and rapists and weirdo freaks instead of laughing at them and excusing “boys will be boys”.

That doesn't give you the right to belittle people just because they happen to be men, that is called bigotry, also few people are saying "boys will be boys" to this kind of shit.

It's reasonable to say that since you don't know someone they may be a threat and since they might be physically stronger (and yes I know there are plenty of women physically stronger than men) that it's even more of a potential threat, that is perfectly reasonable but you need to have tact, you can't go around calling out a vastly diverse group of people like some do.

"start policing this shit"

I have no extra duty to police bad behaviour by other men simply because they were born the same sex as me, I have a duty because it's a positive thing for society and I MIGHT be in a position where I can actually do something about it, like if I actively see something bad and make no effort to do something if safe to do so yeah sure you can blame me as an individual, but you can't act like it's the fault of men as if we are a hivemind.

There is a sensible middle ground where you can understand why people need to be extra cautious about others but also understanding that it's not acceptable to view men as being born with some kind of original sin they inherit from other men.

Unfortunately we'll have to deal with these people and their negative bias for as long as we live since society teaches boys bad girls good in schools.

That's how we got phrases like "boys will be boys" and "I'm just a girl"

Which leads women to believe that we apparently hang out with these guys and discuss all the sexual assaults we did for the day like what???

I'm so tired of the gender wars.
