"staring at breasts is an offense.... and we'll deal with the offender and take them to court"

JohnKimble111 · 2016-08-12T05:38:11+00:00

Note how the BBC clearly absolutely love this sexist "misogyny" hate crime law in every report.

NAFI_S · 2016-08-12T05:09:19+00:00

From the video

"Staring at a womens breasts is not a crime per say, but it is an offense and we will act accordingly"

What the hell so she didnt mention the lewd comments, just the staring, why?!?

"If I wanna breastfeed my baby in public, or go topless downtown and flaunt my breasts, its my RIGHT and you can't stop me !!! #FreeTheNipple."

"But don't you dare look at them or I'm going to report you to the police."

Now they're trying to dictate what direction my eyes can be turned towards?
Fuck you, bitch. My body, my choice. I'll point my eyes wherever I feel like.

Wisemanner · 2016-08-12T06:43:05+00:00

How do we know any of the "offences" reported by the interviewees actually happened? How do we know they are not in fact feminist fabrications?

OrionsSword · 2016-08-12T10:06:21+00:00

Britain, trying to make 'stare rape' a real thing.

It really is like some kind of dystopian novel over there.

reaperc · 2016-08-12T05:21:17+00:00

if they flaunt them I'm gonna stare. Can't help it.

What happened to the woman called Martha was awful. But, as Chief Constable Sue Fish said, Martha could have called police and they would have responded, even without the change in guidance.

What is really worrying about this, is that it's designed to be used to push the Overton window. By recording even non-criminal acts as "hate crimes", the police will create the impression of there being a massive problem. And Northampton surely can't be unique, so this problem must exist everywhere. So we should start collecting this data across the country.

This will, in turn, reveal that many women across the UK are subject to rudeness, now re-classified as a criminal hate crime, on a regular basis. And the only remedy will be more funding for feminist and biased anti-VAWG groups, more anti-male shaming in schools, and greater erosion of due process.

And that's before you even start on whether these acts are motivated by "hate" at all and how you can credibly record non-criminal acts as "hate crimes".

Just to be clear, in case it isn't, harassment of the kind described in the video — grabbing someone, stalking them, targeting them for verbal abuse — is totally unacceptable and should be prosecuted.

But once we get into "he stared at my breasts" then we're in another "he-said, she-said" situation. And we know how that goes. Successful prosecutions are rare, which leads to an outcry, which leads to calls for erosion of due process.

But this time, it's not even for a serious crime in which you at least have to be able to demonstrate that two people were alone together. All you need now, is a couple of your friends to back you up ("He definitely was staring at her tits".) or a Marvin Zuker of a judge, and you're in deep trouble.

If women can report me, a straight guy (or someone who is a lesbian girl), for staring at breasts (not that I would), then I should be able to report a girl (or gay guy) for staring at my bulge cosmo-style.

Tallsmarthandsome · 2016-08-12T13:53:49+00:00

Does this mean that state funded "Slut walks" are entrapment?

BruceCampbell123 · 2016-08-12T14:52:20+00:00

Feminists want observation crime in addition to thought crime. I don't think even George Orwell could have predicted this.

abusmakk · 2016-08-12T15:48:10+00:00

As a shy and insecure, but rather attractive male, I've gotten my ass grabbed by random women than I have grabbed random women. So I am looking forward to things like this being implemented.

A couple of years ago I was working with a rather cute girl. She had a really low cut top one day, and I unintenionally stared at her breasts. She snapped me out of it by saying "My eyes are up here!", embarrassed and slightly humiliated I looked up and apologised. She smiled it off as a joke, and things continued as normal after that. A couple of days later she stared directly at my crotch. I thought I could grab this opportunity and did the same thing. She absolutely denied ever looking at my crotch, because "she's not that kind of person". Why do girls have such a hard time admitting that they are run by desires as well?

Women hate attention from other men.

Until it stops.

Then they realize they have aged, their looks have begun to fade, and they freak out and desperately seek out the attention they once so easily had gotten.

Noel_S_Jytemotiv · 2016-08-12T14:19:52+00:00

"The victim feels."

Found your problem.

"Separate category of hate crime."

I give up.

The world is going fucking mad.

blueoak9 · 2016-08-12T15:08:41+00:00

Meanwhile grabbing men's genitals under their kilts is ticketty boo.

Aphelion27 · 2016-08-12T17:18:31+00:00

What I tell my daughter is they if she shows skin, she can't be upset if someone looks at the skin.

feedmecarrots · 2016-08-12T08:38:25+00:00

Since when did the police have the authority to make new law? There is too much of this going on in the UK. As for this, it hands another weapon to women to use against men they don't even know.

2016-08-12T12:10:13+00:00

What that actual fuck? Women watching men's swimming is just as bad. I'll look at whatever I please. You do the same. Deal? Besides, I have a cool pair of mirrored creeper sunglasses and you'll never know.

tonyh322 · 2016-08-12T13:26:02+00:00

I'm not Superman. My eyes can't hurt anyone.

mcavvacm · 2016-08-12T14:07:40+00:00

Fine, but all women are barred from wearing stuff with texts, pictures, or anything remotely interesting. Only single coloured plain clothing is henceforth allowed to promote boredom and not tempt men / women to look.

"Staring at a woman's breasts is not a crime per se, but it is an offense and we will act accordingly"

The Filth enforcing a law that does not actually exist -- how very appropriate that this is happening in the land of Orwell.

splodgenessabounds · 2016-08-12T09:48:23+00:00

I would be very interested in the legal definition of "staring" vs "looking".

Is it a duration thing? Is it an "intent" thing? (As if the "reasonable person in the street" could reliably and consistently determine either)

Also: if you don't want it looked (stared) at, don't put it on public display. Simples.

abacabbmk · 2016-08-12T12:50:07+00:00

Chicks look at pant bulges all the time.

Proteus_Marius · 2016-08-12T15:43:31+00:00

Did they just say that criminal determination is based on how a "victim" feels about the "incident"?

reaperc · 2016-08-12T08:50:43+00:00

maybe glance is the more preferable word?

DancesWithPugs · 2016-08-12T08:09:11+00:00

My dad and I were talking about when women wear tight t-shirts with images or writing across the bust. "Pardon me while I get my reading glasses," says my old man. Hilarious.

keeb119 · 2016-08-12T15:00:38+00:00

I get the idea that someone creepily staring at your body can feel very harassing. However this doesn't feel like it was said the right way.

J0kerr · 2016-08-12T15:24:51+00:00

I believe a liberal told me that If I was offended it was my problem...so its your problem if you are offended...not mine.

zen_affleck · 2016-08-12T15:36:39+00:00

Wouldn't it just make more sense at this point to gender segregate?

Electroverted · 2016-08-12T15:41:18+00:00

So, basically, suing for sexual harassment in the workplace has become so effective and successful, that now they want to bring it into everyday public life? This should be interesting.

chambertlo · 2016-08-12T06:12:51+00:00

But then when you ignore these same women, they cry about not being noticed. You literally cannot win.

Also, breasts are not sexual objects.

CornyHoosier · 2016-08-12T19:00:03+00:00

lol good luck taking me to jail on that one.

2016-08-12T19:27:07+00:00

As long as every girl who looks at my package gets same treatment I guess lol

2016-08-12T22:08:52+00:00

I guess I'm going to jail because if staring at tits is wrong I don't wanna be right /high five

klayblot · 2016-08-12T12:06:06+00:00

Men, what if the shoe were on the other foot, and you had women constantly staring at the bulge in your pants... Actually, most of you would love that. Never mind.

mwobuddy · 2016-08-12T05:22:24+00:00

I really hope it keeps going down this path. It'll finally get solved.
