Hmm...isn't this car-theft culture? Wonder if we can expect feminists to start a "Teach car thieves not to steal" campaign. 🤔

The ticketing isn't a men's rights issue. It's the fact that feminists claim that rape is treated uniquely because people are instructed on how not to be victims of it, and they use the notion that this constitutes misogynistic "victim blaming" to argue that we live in a patriarchy where women are specially oppressed. But laws like this prove that that is not unique to rape. This law is about teaching people not to be victims of car theft. So the fact that we tell people (not just women, actually) that they should watch their drinks, e.g., or not to walk around town alone at night isn't evidence that (a) women are being repressed or specially targeted by a victim-blaming "patriarchy", or that (b) there is an underlying assumption that normal men are unable to control their sex drive (because the advice is not just about avoiding rape but about safety from violent predators in general).
