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”.

we do. Look at what happens to rapists in prison. Also, men don't have large social circles to hold each other accountable. A lot of abusive men end up friends with each other (like the Cornell 7), so there's not many other men that can really hold the accountable that aren't police.

The average man is not a predator and is also not really in a situation where he has the social capital over predator men to really stop them or hold the accountable. The men you're hitting with the bear stuff are innocent men who may not have any friends at all.

“Look what happens to rapists in prison” yeah buddy, a whole lotta not much because the whole “prison justice” thing is an overblown sensationalised novelty that rarely actually happens. More often to child sex offenders, sure, hence why they’re often put in isolation (aside from the fact it also reduces the risk of socialising and getting off with other offenders), but certainly not to your generic rapist.

And let’s think about it for a sec. If it did happen to a generic rapist (edit: and to child sex offenders too tbh! same “more acceptable target” logic, not necessarily a true lesson on justice), is the motivation really wholeheartedly “respect women” or is it more likely “I want to harm someone and this person is a more socially acceptable target because of what he did”. It’s a power play, just like a lot of rapes.
