Current Events > should all men have a 9pm curfew so females can feel safe at night?

(+) Yeah! (+)

No. No one should have a curfew. We're grown adults, not impulsive 10 year olds. No one is ever truly safe anyway. Not even in your own house. Anyone going out that late needs something to protect themselves regardless of gender. Self defense training, a taser, pepper spray, a knife or whatever.

The very obvious hypothetical being posed is what would you do after 9pm if the possibility of getting raped was removed

Its just a fucking discussion, lol, not a suggestion for an actual policy that could or should be implemented, jfc

So it IS a sexist premise.

ITT: men getting furious about women joking about what we'd do if we felt slightly safer being out at night

I dont often agree with gunplagirl but seriously this

It aint that serious, and the fact that so many dudes ITT are furiously going WELL ACKSHUALLY A CURFEW WOULDNT WORK YOU FEMINATSHI ESH JAY DOUBLE YOOSH as if this is a real suggestion is the most fragile shit lol

Somebody who gets it

It's not being serious as a suggestion

That said, we have people unironically saying men need to worry about statistically improbable chance of getting falsely accused of rape AND that accusation resulting in them having their reputation damaged. But yet those same people think that the risk women face of being assaulted, physically or sexually, is overblown and a non-issue.

'Don't mind our sexism. It's not SERIOUS.'

I have autism and already a warped view of women because of my lunatic mother. This is only reinforcing those views.

Right. That doesn't mean that their hypothetical responses, stating that they'd have "nothing to worry about," make any sense. Explaining exactly why they don't make any sense isn't a sign that I don't get what they're saying - it's a sign that what they're saying is proof of how fucking moronic they are.

You could take that literally if you like, or you could exercise some common sense and realise that they're only referencing how strange men make them feel unsafe in public settings and what a drag that is, not that literally all of the problems in their life are caused by the male species.

Then you must have lived a very sheltered life, in a very boring area. There's plenty of girls to be afraid of out there. Humans of either gender, can rape, mug, torture, kill, kidnap or fly off their rocker during an argument.

You never know who may be dangerous! You can't tell just by looking!

Also....let all the refugees in! It's wrong to be afraid of potential terrorism! Most are good!

The purpose of that twitter thread was to expose and discuss feeling unsafe being a woman. It wasnt a proposal or an attack.

Being aware of your surroundings, not going places alone if at all possible, and trusting your animal instincts is helpful too. There were a few times I did not trust mine and I paid for it.

It was a blatant attack. It could have just as easily excluded men from the discussion and derived a more productive, less misandryst conversation.

what I found the strangest were the 3 men who appeared to be in their 30's and older who seem to have contact with women but were completely unaware that women don't like to go out by themselves after dark
---

What's funny about it, besides the ridiculousness of the premise, is that anyone who tries to be cautious going out at night, or even just owns a gun for the house, does so because of men. I mean, let's be real, how many people actually armed themselves because of the possibility of a woman busting in the door and murdering their families?

Change 'man' to 'black person' in that post. Would you still defend it?

Feminism is a mental illness.

I would then identify as a woman kwhahaha cant stop me

This stupid shit is going too far.

The sad thing is that this is not liberal satire.... Its what liberals would really do if they could

Women wouldn't be justified in feeling safe, that's for damn sure. When are muggers and rapists most active?

But yes let's punish law abiding citizens over something that a small number of people do.

How stupid.

Guys would benefit too, more or less.

"Nope, can't do it - gotta stay home and drink and play videogames. It's the law!"

I need to eat late sometimes.

But on the upside women would get ALL the night shifts. Have fun with your shitty Walmart jobs radfems.

Order a pizza, which now has to be delivered by a woman.

Tfw I'm laughing at something ludicrous with a Trump supporter.

Sigh.

Fucking radfems.

I'm sure the criminals and rapists would obey the curfew and stay inside.

Should be something like Sunday Monday Tuesday, either men or women have a curfew. Wednesday Thursday Friday, the other group does. Saturday no curfew.

Probably would need a work exemption though otherwise 2nd and 3rd shift jobs would be fucked up.

If anything, it makes it easier.

Lots of women blissfully jogging at midnight probably unarmed, with no burly male cops or potential male good-samaritans out and about.

A lot of white women in that Twitter thread

I was taught that overgeneralization was one of the worst ways to start an arguement or prove a point.

I feel kinda bad that so many women think the night is so terriable that it takes over their lives.

I think like most things people go on about now is this is the vocal minority speaking for everyone yet again. And that the real answer will not be gotten by making blanket statements in an echo chamber under the guise of discussion.

This is sorta like day-dreaming about if there weren't any bad people.

Women definitely have a larger chance of something bad happening to at nightfall, but really, any nut job could be out on the loose.

It's not smart to be by yourself, at night, in sketchy locations or anywhere at all. This goes for everyone.

Unfortunately, this is just the way it is.

Statistically speaking, it's not even close to accurate - men make up the majority of violent crime victims by a shit-ton.

I probably should've taken into consideration all of the gang violence and drug related violence that likely goes on after dark.

And, those people are largely men I would think.

Guess no woman ever robbed/assaulted/killed another woman after 9 pm.

Must have missed that stat.

I think Dave Chappelle said it best in his last netflix special when he was talking about how one time as a kid he had a backpack full of money he had to go bring to someone. He described how terrified he was that someone would find out what he had in the backpack and rob him. And he compared that to what women go through, because they wall around with something many people want and will and have taken it by force when given the opportunity in the past. I thought it was a good analogy that illustrates why women are more defensive and afraid to be alone especially at night.

The violent crimes wouldn't stop. It would just be women being attacked by other women.

Or men who break the law / bums. Crimes are illegal but people still commit them.

This idea is stupid because lawbreakers would essentially be in the same position but people who follow the rules get shafted

This is basically what liberals do with gun laws, so it's not a stretch honestly

Course we don't. We like to do our crime sprees before then so we can have a drink with the girls around 9.

Of course. Probably projecting their insecurities about another group of people since those are awfully familiar rhetoric

Would this include the male dominated police, fire and medical services?

It's their fault for no having pants with pockets and having to carry a purse everywhere.
