UK: Undercover police officers pose as joggers to crack down on men catcalling female runners. OP: The government and society appears to be at war with men and boys.

MastermindX · 2025-08-12T21:28:41+00:00

So, after they catch all the catcallers, the tv license dodgers, the butter knife carriers, and the offensive twitter posters, will they tackle the issue of rampant gangs dedicated to raping and sexually enslaving little girls? Or they are too busy for that?

Readshirt · 2025-08-13T06:09:14+00:00

Wait a minute.

So, catcalling isn't a crime in the UK. It is rude and might make women feel unsafe - people shouldn't do it - but it's not criminal nor is there any evidence it's actually linked to any genuine unsafety or part of an "escalation process".

These police officers, paid for by my tax money, are spending time on duty, when they could be working through paperwork backlogs or helping to solve real crime, going on runs and telling people off for something that is not illegal.

What?

Capricious_Paradox · 2025-08-12T21:47:36+00:00

'These behaviours may not be criminal offences in themselves, but they need to be addressed,' a spokesman for the force said about the patrols.

In other words, police officers are spending resources for something they can't do anything about.

I bet they implement it and turned out it was a waste of time and money. Now they have to send someonr to find at least one.

Pretend-Storm4566 · 2025-08-12T20:43:46+00:00

At least here in America, we have people who oppose this kind of lunacy. No, I'm not denying we're bad enough, we are. But Europe has dropped off of a misandric cliff.

Some-Cup8043 · 2025-08-12T20:39:06+00:00

Tax dollars being wasted on non issues. Go UK

MehMehMammal · 2025-08-13T05:12:45+00:00

I was touched and harassed by many different women verbally and physically at work for years. There’s nothing anyone could do about it even I say it out loud I don’t like being touched even just my arms they would ignore and think I’m joking. I’ve accepted it and tolerate for years. I guess that doesn’t concern anyone since I’m a dude.

WeEatBabies · 2025-08-12T22:44:59+00:00

Yes, the U.K., where it is legal by federal law for a woman to rape a man, it is now illegal for a man to say "Hi" to a woman on the street, yes, this is the world you live in, and this is not a patriarchy!

Dcave65 · 2025-08-12T20:54:38+00:00

I’m assuming they’ve been jogging for a few years now, still waiting for that first cat call that hasn’t happened since 1984

KarateInAPool · 2025-08-12T21:02:01+00:00

Wish someone would catcall me sometime, I don’t even care if they’re gay—any compliment will do.

Gleichstellung4084 · 2025-08-12T21:54:06+00:00

honest question:

what would be a legally wrong catcalling to do? Does oggling count? Hey Babe? Nice Tits?

13hockeyguy · 2025-08-12T23:11:35+00:00

The United Kingdom, where the serious is taken trivially, and the trivial is taken seriously.

Orwell would be aghast to see what its become.

bluesky987654 · 2025-08-13T02:54:40+00:00

They hauled people in for questioning for a while for writing things like "only men have a penis" on Twitter because some people with a penis and fake titties were upset.

You don't need to do anything illegal any more. It's a nanny state. You only need to upset anyone with a "protected characteristic" and they intervene.

People shouldn't be shouting things at joggers, but the Police shouldn't be policing "offenses" they made up based on hurt feelings.

LCH44 · 2025-08-12T22:44:13+00:00

lol bunch of unhinged in the UK

SabunFC · 2025-08-12T21:18:35+00:00

What if they tell the women, "Do not redeem,"?

DryAssumption · 2025-08-12T22:20:59+00:00

Wtf is this? Instead of catching criminals breaking the law, we’ll try to reengineer society to our own joyless values

Icy-Picture-192 · 2025-08-12T22:55:49+00:00

UK you failed

thatusenameistaken · 2025-08-13T08:31:57+00:00

Only if they aren't immigrants. That's a protected class.

If on the other hand you react negatively to the cultural enrichment brought by the Muslims raping British women and children and the government's lack of addressing it, there is a special task force set up to bring you to justice.

Dead_HumanCollection · 2025-08-13T09:11:54+00:00

If it's not a crime what exactly are they planning on doing? Giving a stern look and a disapproving shake of the head?

LateDream · 2025-08-13T06:32:24+00:00

The UK is a pussy state run by people who justify their actions with "because I said so". It's no surprise the smart and rich people are leaving. In just a few years, the UK will be inhabited by more foreign nationals and sponges than British people.

OddRemove2000 · 2025-08-12T21:11:52+00:00

I got cat called when I was getting a massage once. Can I get a job where I get massaged waiting to be cat called again? Pretty please

Sad_Following4035 · 2025-08-13T05:14:59+00:00

that country is falling apart fast. mean while there are rape gangs targeting native brits children and it seems like nobody gives a shit.

ThatRandomGuy86 · 2025-08-13T18:49:48+00:00

So why do this in the first place if the police in the UK themselves say it's not a crime in itself, but also perform that would be entrapment by intentionally going out there to catch people doing so?

TraumaJeans · 2025-08-12T21:23:20+00:00

Get your passport boys and head to South America, you’re welcome

TypicalNPC · 2025-08-13T02:24:03+00:00

All by design.

Destroy relationship between men and women. Make men afraid of approaching women, complain about the birthrate, import the "solution"

Cien22n2 · 2025-08-13T08:09:53+00:00

They will do anything rather than prosecute dangerous pdf gangs who rp and torture little girls, amazong job british "police"

AndyRoo2023 · 2025-08-13T00:59:25+00:00

This is why I’ve consistently said that it’s men’s responses to the female that must change.

Here they are here, playing little infantile games, wasting energy and resources…all with the single aim to elicit a reaction from men so they can proceed to demonise them.

Certainly can be considered a ‘war’ on all aspects of men’s humanity (fought ‘female style’.)

Resist and desist.

Incelebrategoodtimes · 2025-08-12T21:25:04+00:00

This is less because they're "at war with men and boys" and moreso because of the consequences of a very sudden and drastic demographic shift

ReaperManX15 · 2025-08-13T02:33:21+00:00

Is the UK gonna do anything about the migrant sex criminals?
Are they gonna stop punishing the people that draw other’s attention to the migrant sex criminals?

captainhornheart · 2025-08-13T10:43:59+00:00

This won't have any positive effects. All it does it convince women that they are in danger, that society is misogynistic and that men are their enemies. The small minority of men who catcall will keep catcalling when this extremely limited programme ends.

dozzer85 · 2025-08-13T21:52:02+00:00

Isn't this bait and trap? Seems unlawful. Like putting drugs on the ground and when someone picks them up arresting them for possession.

OkCelery3751 · 2025-08-17T17:03:15+00:00

OK catcalling is a bad idea, but there just might be a bad side effect to undercover cops jogging in tight clothes. That side effect is that NO MAN WORTH HIS SALT will ever approach a woman and say hi for fear of being arrested. Good job England, YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY KILLED THE DATING SCENE. NO guy will ever approach a girl now, 'cuz she just might be a cop. This is nutz🤪

World-Three · 2025-08-13T06:24:44+00:00

Idiots.

They going to go in the gym next? Nobody is going to talk to women at all if this becomes normalized.

What's also funny is that if women go through all these violent and heinous acts because of men, why aren't they trying to stop those? It must not happen enough to try to stop... So now they're out here essentially being bait cars and likely deterring men who aren't in a relationship from being in one.

What's the endgame? Full social and sexual control over men?

Adventurous_Design73 · 2025-08-13T06:42:19+00:00

The majority of young men are already not approaching women in public and aren't in relationships. Now the government wants to do this funny it will make things worse the birthrate for the UK and western countries will continue to plummet.

mr_meeple · 2025-08-13T13:54:00+00:00

Of course you lot are offended by this. Of course you are.

throwawayincelacc · 2025-08-13T15:07:18+00:00

Blows my mind that they can have so much attention on them their whole lives that they actively want to reduce how much attention they get. You're born onto a pedestal being pandered to and raised above men then complain.

I doubt any man genuinely knows what that's like. I can understand it being tiring going to the store and being hit on by men over and over. But that's also the society you're subscribing to and perpetuating.

Huffers1010 · 2025-08-13T17:47:37+00:00

Obviously this is pretty laughable in a world where you can't get a bike or phone theft looked into and I can't disagree with much of the commentary in this thread.

That said I do wish they'd gone out and got no reaction whatsoever. I would never yell at women I happened to find attractive, not least because it's just... christ... do we not think it's pandering to popular prejudice? A bit low brow?

I've never once witnessed it happening myself but I can't imagine I'd think anything but "that guy is a bit of a prick."

The_London_Badger · 2025-08-14T15:14:13+00:00

The women jog by a migrant hotel with 20 doctors and engineers catcalling them saying come over for sex. Police do nothing as that would be islamaphobic .

An awkward white guy says hello, you look gorgeous. I'd love to get a coffee and get to know you. Police taze, pepper spray and arrest him for the crime of soliciting a woman in public. Check his Internet search history, find that he called one of the protected classes a knobhead. Adds hate speech to the list of crimes.

We are about 2 years from vigilante justice.

PastDifficulty7 · 2025-08-15T08:15:51+00:00

So cringe to see that so many men get emotionally wrecked that police actually care about women being treated with dignity. Like, WTF my dudes, this has nothing to do with men’s rights.

wolveryne9 · 2025-08-15T16:43:45+00:00

So let me get this straight it’s ok for those women to wear those tight clothes where you seeing it go up her butt crack but you do a cat call that gets you in trouble? Why don’t the guys who get arrested bring that up in court make that an issue I am sure some kids might see that go after them for indecent exposure to kids.

wardenferry419 · 2025-08-31T00:57:34+00:00

Is this physical proof of catcalling officers or are they just taking the women's word?

10dollarscratchy · 2025-09-08T00:40:18+00:00

Is this not entrapment?

Upstairs_Ear4172 · 2025-08-13T07:07:07+00:00

Isn’t this good? If it makes people feel safer then 100% I’m for it

It says that since “jog on” was launched, 18 arrests have been made for various offences such as sexual assault and theft, not sure why anyone would be opposed to that.

scotty9090 · 2025-08-13T01:53:54+00:00

They need better bait here.

2025-08-13T07:02:30+00:00

Oh relax, as long as you’re not a creep then who gives a fuck what the local law enforcement is doing to help people feel safer jogging. Bet there are some dads on here that would feel better if this was in their daughter’s neighborhood. It’s not like they are rolling out the SWAT team. (Or the English version of, whatever the fuq that is, prolly like some dudes with longer sticks than the normal cops idk) If anything it’s fucking nice to see the police at least ATTEMPTING to “serve and protect” something that’s not rich people’s fucking yacht money. Less gender war, more class war 👏🏾

RedPillAlphaBigCock · 2025-08-13T10:19:02+00:00

Catcalling is disgusting brain dead behaviour . However going after this assumes they have tackled the grooming gangs etc etc FIRST !!

Complete-Junket-8209 · 2025-08-12T20:39:50+00:00

Yeah thst seems fair one of the only things the UK seems to be doing but freedom of speech is still freedom of speech a lot of cases you can't be charged with anything but I guess this hasn't stopped the UK government from arresting people from saying meanie words on Twitter

casinodwarf · 2025-08-12T23:16:11+00:00
