Staring can land you in prison as police crackdown on 'unhealthy sexual behaviour'

of course the same punishment will be given to women if they stare at a man.

Now looking at someone is a crime in England.

And somehow British police is also able to judge the intent a person has when they are looking at someone. They read minds too, I guess.

I can‘t fathom how they think that all this is even remotely normal. Wtf, England?!?!?

This law is clearly gendered

In a statement released at the start of the anti-harassment campaign, TfL said: "Sexual harassment is a form of violence, most often directed against women and girls in public places.
"The safety of women and girls is an absolute priority for TfL and this new campaign is one element of TfL's work to ensure everyone can travel with confidence.
"The campaign aims to challenge the normalisation and dismissal of this behaviour as "something that happens" to women and girls on public transport and in other public spaces, making it clear that it is never acceptable and that the strongest possible action will always be taken."

We can now brush aside claims that it isn't.

The second claim will be that even if the law exists, it's not like men are falsely accused of looking at a woman without reasonable concern.

That is also false.

Ask yourself: will they apply this policy to straight women?

If the answer is “no”, then it’s systematic discrimination and violence (yes, they are weaponizing state-sponsored violence).

Knew from the title it would be the UK

BoTheJoV3 · 2022-05-01T22:08:28+00:00

I imagine a blind person will be sent to prison for this soon. The onion has become reality

la_1099 · 2022-05-01T22:58:01+00:00

All men should be required to wear a blindfold out in public. There is too much risk an accidental staring can occur.

63daddy · 2022-05-01T18:41:41+00:00

How long do I have to look at someone for it to be considered staring? Can short, glances be added together to constitute staring? If the continued looking is in the context of a conversation does it count as staring? If someone looks at another person to see if that person is staring, aren’t they then guilty of staring? If I say I identify as gay, doesn’t that mean that staring at a woman must be non sexual?

So many unanswered definitions…..

Now from the country that brought you George Orwell's dystopian fiction, we present... George Orwell's dystopian reality

ijustdontcare74 · 2022-05-02T06:23:53+00:00

Eyes down gentlemen.....no more interaction with ANY woman, unless they need something from us that is.

This is what they want, us permanently afraid and weak. Personally I will have nothing to do with women at all (yes I'm MGTOW). It might sound extreme, but so is this law, which could end my career, freedom and relationships. If a woman was on fire, I wouldn't piss on her to put it out. Sorry but you reap what you sow women. Good luck defending yourselves from here on out.

Punder_man · 2022-05-01T21:23:49+00:00

And in typical fashion you can bet that the moment a man comes forward to report a woman 'staring' at him he will be told that 'women are the true victims' or 'she was probably looking out the window and not actually staring at you' or any other excuse to protect a woman's right to accuse men of a crime but not hold women to the same standard.

Note to self.. the UK is spiraling down into a shit hole.. as such I have removed it from my list of places to travel to..

rabel111 · 2022-05-02T00:26:12+00:00

So be warned. In a crowded subway or bus or que, where there is nothing else to see but walls of bodies, it's no longer enough to look at women above the neck line. Now it's necessary to avert your eyes completely! The narcissists leading the blind.

SioBibblethe3rd · 2022-05-02T03:37:35+00:00

Guys guys guys. Just identify as a female when the cops show up. Problem solved.

ThaRedHoodie · 2022-05-02T05:40:48+00:00

Looking at someone is now illegal. Neat.

rbrockway · 2022-05-02T06:04:41+00:00

"Detective Inspector Sarah White, who leads British Transport Police's sexual offences team, said her officers are receiving daily reports of people committing sexual offences including staring."

Repeat that sentence two or three times.

the2xstandard · 2022-05-02T01:36:57+00:00

Officer he was staring at me.

No I wasn't.

Believe all women.

Amber Heard.

Staring of a "sexual nature" could be anything... Wtf

Imagine having a flare or itch and staring past someone but they think you're staring at them sexually and bam you're a criminal.

Seriously we're becoming degenerates as a species.

delocalelectron · 2022-05-02T07:54:10+00:00

Marty Feldman would have been screwed, then.

Sinnaatraa · 2022-05-02T09:25:57+00:00

England is a pepega country im sorry, but at this point I think its funny😂 we measure things with rocks, we have a holiday about a man trying to burn down a building, our teeth starts falling out when we turn 30, dentist? Does Britain even have those? Ok im done yeah England is pretty fucked tbh with the woke culture and all that.

EngineeringDry6717 · 2022-05-02T03:27:28+00:00

UK guys.. wear sunglasses!!!!!

delocalelectron · 2022-05-02T07:57:44+00:00

So.... is 'healthy' sexual behaviour for men all about knowing our place, and exhibiting due deference in public..?

delocalelectron · 2022-05-02T09:10:51+00:00

IMHO, it's more of an affront for male retinas to be assaulted each morning with hundreds of images of what can only be described as the female equivalent of 'Fat Bastard' from the Austin Powers movies... each and every one of them with the attitude of "Ah'm dead sexy!", and where the beauty filters on their phones must really struggle. An occupational hazard of using Transport for London.

KickedSharf798 · 2022-05-01T21:00:00+00:00

If its my body my decision why can't I decide who I stare at I don't get the logic

nanan00 · 2022-05-01T20:00:44+00:00

Can we just pre-emptively nuke Europe to try to help save Humanity?

CDewfus · 2022-05-02T15:17:19+00:00

"Ugh, why won't men look at me anymore?"

fl0w3rg1rl3 · 2022-05-01T23:19:17+00:00

tbh if ur staring at someone to the point where there visibly uncomfortable and in distress it’s probably a good time to stop and if u wish to continue knowing ur making someone uncomfortable that’s where the problem lies

DirtyPartyMan · 2022-05-02T00:16:26+00:00

In Singapore it’s 3 seconds. Has been for decades. No one has an issue. It’s simply unfortunate some individuals lack the awareness to control themselves

PabloNovelGuy · 2022-05-01T23:16:10+00:00

I think I must be a terrible criminal in their view. And I would have stared again, and I will stare again, I don't care about the opinions of people who act like devils would be expected to act.

nacho-chonky · 2022-05-04T21:34:46+00:00

The UK is becoming an authoritarian little island, to bad people in my country fetishize how the UK functions so we are also being authoritarian
