It's time to consider a curfew for men - Feminist Current

We can't punish all Muslims/North African immigrants because of a few bad apples.

But we can punish all men if we include whites. ^/s

Demonspawn · 2016-01-09T18:05:35+00:00

Sure, as long as this curfew applies to ALL men, including policemen, military men, and other public servant men.

Somehow I don't think they'll like the results.

The media suggests that only women were victims. I find that unlikely. I tried to research more, but wasn't too successful.

Interestingly, the only mention of male victims were in a feminist magazine, which conducted a interview with a female victim. Apparently a police officer told the women to wait with 5 men who had their cellphones stolen, and told those 5 men to keep an eye out for the women.

As of Saturday evening(2016/01/09) 379 criminal charges were filed. 40% of had a sexual nature, 60% were theft and bodily harm.

I say we have women covered in public and generally limit their interaction with the rest of society instead.

Wargame4life · 2016-01-09T22:21:38+00:00

i have a better idea, women should live underground where its safe and we will have the surface.

problem solved, its as sane and as rational as her moronic drivel

The_Fat_Lannister · 2016-01-09T22:22:51+00:00

If you think reading the article is bad, don't read the comments. It's hard to come to grips that some people think this is a good idea, let alone a moral one.

Take back the night. With lethal prejudice. /s

meghan murphy, founder and editor of feminist current, is a freelance writer and journalist. she completed a masters degree in the department of gender, sexuality and women’s studies at simon fraser university in 2012 and lives in vancouver, b.c. with her dog.

This is feminism.

Some "insightful" comments from below the article:

Publish them, we should be able to see the nature of the beast and the truth. Too much sanitising and airbrushing of men's hatred going on all over the place. Women need to recognise that alot of men are full on psychopathic towards them and they can be policemen, doctors, school teachers etc.

Its not a few. 2 in 3 girls in UK schools experience sexist abuse and 1 in 3 experience sexist violence in the form of sexual assaults. 98% of men use sexist media that refers to females and female children as whores, cunts, skanks, ghetto bitches, etc. These are not terms of endearment, this is hate speech. 1/2 million women are attacked by their partners a year, so that is half a million hate attacks by men. Hate attacks on women by their partners went up by 31% this year alone, and by a similar percentage last year again. Police are reporting being overwhelmed by hate crime against women. This is not a few bad apples. 98% of your community using media that calls women by subhuman references is almost total sign up. Our government that was elected by a landslide as they call it didnt get close to this level of endorsement.

GREAT. Now lets ban all porn because it objectifies women and promotes sexist and essentialist stereotypes that men blindly applicate. I count on you Jeffry!

Women and female children are called cunts, sluts, whores, skanks, cum buckets, bitches etc in porn which in the West, 98% of men boast of using. Goebbels used mass objectification of Jews as vermin to drive violence against them, what difference is there in his use of media and male culture's use of media to describe women by hate speech?

Oh right, just women, oops, I mean TEENS, being choked, punched, gagged with a penis until they cry and vomit and beg for mercy, gang "banged", anally "punished", "rosebudded" where their anuses are literally falling out of their bodies (so sexy!), having their heads put in toilets and dog bowls, being tied up and tortured (let's call it play so it's not what it is! wee!), brutally raped (but only in a very realistic, but totally fake and fun! way)... nothing at all like being kicked.

ABC_Florida · 2016-01-09T21:03:54+00:00

You’ve had your chance, bepenised ones. And you’ve blown it. What you’ve proven, time and time again, is that you cannot be trusted to behave yourselves after dark. In Germany, about 1000 men are reported to have arrived to the Cologne Cathedral area on New Years Eve, intending to sexually assault and mug as many women as possible.

TIL there are only 1000 men in Germany. All of them molester or rapist.

Bit if there is a curfew for all men, what makes them believe that someone who does not give a damn about that it is not okay to harass or rape women, will give a fuck about the curfew? And what about white knights or male police officers?

xVoluntasx · 2016-01-09T23:42:37+00:00

i'll take it.

you ladies stay the fuck indoors during the day, and we'll stay indoors at night.

adrianjherman · 2016-01-10T00:37:50+00:00

But then who will buy them their drinks at the bar? Surely a woman isn't capable to buy her own drinks.

12431 · 2016-01-09T20:58:52+00:00

You know, after a while, you stop getting riled up when someone wants to reduce your personal freedom or want you dead for being the color you are, the gender you are etc. I am busy raising my kids, making a living for me and my family, simply getting shit done. My gf loves me, our children loves us and I don't see that life changing by legal means anytime soon. Trust me mra's, your life will be better if you just don't scratch certain itches. It's enough we have to consider and fight actual miscarriages of justice, why pay attention to the lunatics as well?

BigAl265 · 2016-01-09T23:03:19+00:00

Maybe we should all be round up and put in some kind of camp where we can sit and reflect on our rapist instincts and our male privilege. Someplace we can really concentrate on our disgusting behavior. A concentration camp, if you will.

doUeven69 · 2016-01-10T00:50:04+00:00

Being a feminist should be illegal, all they do now is destabilize whatever culture let them flourish.

2016-01-09T18:04:19+00:00

Women are the problem! We should decriminalise rape and sexual assault then there would not be any crime committed. This is as just a stupid idea as hers.

2016-01-09T19:27:18+00:00

This reminds me a lot of "sundown towns" back in the Jim Crow days.

usku · 2016-01-09T22:31:48+00:00

You know the world was a much better place before we started letting women out of the kitchen to have ideas and shit. Because as soon as they started thinking, they become fans of Hitler.

/s just incase anyone missed it.

rottyrantsail · 2016-01-09T23:47:01+00:00

Lol make it a crime for men to be out late men willing to commit crimes will follow the rules especially since they know there would be no men to stop them. Logic uh. . .. finds a way.

ARedthorn · 2016-01-10T01:41:06+00:00

Wait... What?

1000 men gather in one place with the goal to sexually assault as many women as they can...

And only manage 121?

If they're all such monsters, they're some of the least frightening monsters of all time.

Grailums · 2016-01-10T07:37:53+00:00

Well I just pretty much found out that the following entry has to be "approved for commentation" by the person who runs it so it'll never see the light of day:

"Despite this being prime clickbait rage to garner income there is one crucial thing that Meghan has failed to address:

Women need to have a curfew as well, under this idea.

Keep in mind her credentials of earning a Master's degree in women's studies does not lend any credit to her understanding of sociology or psychology, nor does that give her any authority to comment on the unique conditions Germany is currently facing. Saying that "all men need a curfew" because the perpetrators of this act in Germany come from a country that, in terms of social progress, are about 300 to 500 years behind most of the first world countries shows just how naive and ignorant she actually is.

Take this entry for example: "There are solutions: a feminist revolution; real consequences for men who rape, harass, and abuse women; ensuring women are financially independent and that they are able to leave abusers safely; a cultural shift that addresses male entitlement, porn culture, and the objectifying male gaze; an end to masculinity and, more broadly, gendered socialization that says men are actors whereas women are passive recipients of men’s “action” — that is, the idea that men are to “get” sex from women, which positions coercion as a normal and expected part of heterosexual relations… All of that."

There are real consequences for men who rape, harass, and abuse women. It is called prison. In prison there is a HUGE amount of male rape that happens there but, as Meghan has demonstrated, an "eye for an eye" mentality should exist, right? But what about female rapists? What about women who are considered "adults" who rape children? Male children specifically. Do you think she'd agree that female rapists should even be punished? Probably not because somehow, someway, that 12 year old boy just was too alluring and seductive. He deserved to get raped in Meghan's mind.

Women are financially independent in the first world. Why do you think we are having such an economical crisis right now? Men are expected, even by feminists, to be the "breadwinners" because you surely do not see one, stout warrioress for women's rights such as Meghan to argue the archaic alimony and child support laws that cripple men financially while supporting females despite women easily making just as much money as men do. I find it endearing that she believes "porn culture" dehumanizes women when women get paid easily 5 to 10 times more than their male counterparts in those movies. She doesn't approve of it so it must be banned!

So let's end masculinity shall we? I mean we haven't been doing that for the past 20 years by sticking all of our male children on adderall and other ADHD medications because, god-forbid, a boy has energy during the day in the classroom and may just learn differently. No. We have to end masculinity. We must reinforce the idea men are monsters and do our best to ensure that we castrate men at such an emotional level that instead of 40,000+ men killing themselves each year we get that number HIGHER. Because for all the issues women face, the terrible, terrible issues Meghan has outline, only 5,000 kill themselves a year.

I guess men just get so tired of all the privilege they have they just decide to kill themselves over it."

‘RAPEFUGEES NOT WELCOME’: Thousands Take To Cologne Streets To Protest Migrant Sex Attacks

ArrestedDevelopments · 2016-01-09T21:30:16+00:00

andejoh · 2016-01-09T21:36:52+00:00

"Meghan Murphy Mod > FartRapeApologist • 5 hours ago Start holding other men to account and we won't have to."

Like women are going to actually be able to enforce a curfew or do they expect men to from their homes. Really, women are terrified of men, but if we tell them they have to stay inside they will. Makes sense only to a feminist.

derpylord143 · 2016-01-09T22:20:12+00:00

What do they plan to do about this thing called the homeless.. like i get that the majority of the homeless are men so women are generally sheltered from the issue (god forbid they be on the streets - oh the horror) but like what'll they do, throw them in prison? you know this idea in the uk MAY actually make the situation BETTER for a lot of men... (it would give ways out for the domestically abused as well... just stay out after dark a few times... - and since we dont normally mix the seriously bad criminals with "petty criminals" such as serial shoplifts dont get put in with rapists, most of them wouldnt/shouldnt get raped), plus joblessness would decrease considerably as there would be a huge increase in building contracts (the amount of prisons needed to hold them all would be huge) and the prison staff to look after them... (heh hit the feminists where it hurts, make them HELP MEN), i dont know the situation on the homeless or german prisons but if they are like the UK's then the benefits are potentially there as well..

candyman420 · 2016-01-09T22:20:40+00:00

an end to masculinity

LOL

Wargame4life · 2016-01-09T22:34:52+00:00

This gave me a chuckle. Reading Ms Murphy's thoughts over coffee before joining my lovely wife, our son and our completely rational daughter in law working on renovating their home. After a busy day we'll put the grand-kids to bed and have that rare meal together eating and drinking and talking about the madness in the world and how lucky we are not to be part of it.

Head in the sand? Maybe. But I'm over caring about what the truly insane have to say. And you'll not find a holder of a "Masters degree in the Department of Gender, Sexuality and Women's Studies" in my family. I truly laughed out loud when I saw that was her qualifications.

Hang on, guys, they might be on to something. I think we ought to give it a try:

Get your purse stolen at 10pm? Too bad. 90% of the police force is home in bed.
House is on fire? Well it better go out soon because it's almost curfew.
Got in a car accident? I hope the ambulance service has staffed up on women to cart your crippled ass to the hospital because all us guys are at home getting laid.

SaiHottari · 2016-01-09T21:31:42+00:00

What? This woman clearly needs help. The upvoted comments supporting her view is the scary part though. Surely, only the mentally ill would find this to be a good idea.

adrianjherman · 2016-01-10T00:05:23+00:00

while these women were being molested where were the white knights, of either sex? Sure accounts say that many of the women fought back while trying to run away but what about just helping out of decency or socialized gender training.

Also, this is an example of why i dont care for feminist: this is an obvious zero sum situation. She would love to paint mens freedom of movement as some sort of entitlement. The same freedom that she has. She wants to remove our agency. The gain for women is not our absence but power over mens actions because it would not stop at a curfew. Of course she knows this is all fantasy, she stated as much, but it emphasizes that this is not about equity and equality. Its about frustrated women who dont want to share. Its about "princesses" socialization. How they believe they are entitled and expectations are not being met. She makes a point of how she is only afraid of males. Males and our weapons. Does it occur to her that men are afraid of other men which is why their are weapons of so many sorts. Many of us may walk with real confidence or swagger but we are mostly always aware of the males around us and the potential threat, real or imagined(mostly), they have. This is especially true for those who make it a habit to carry weapons. Feminist always using "this:this::that" process. Ladies need to put on their big girl pants if they want to be in the game. Its a scary world out there with lots of individuals and individual motivations.

Not_my_foreskin · 2016-01-10T03:02:06+00:00

You know how we're always like "feminists can't take a joke, it's just a joke."? We're not like that at all. Ever. We are also better than them; we wouldn't ever do the things we say they do just to spite them.

icefire54 · 2016-01-10T03:03:41+00:00

The thing is, men are going to be needed to enforce it. That means certain men are going to have to be excluded from the curfew. I'm sure they'll be able to screen for male feminist lapdogs just fine.

TheDude41 · 2016-01-10T04:28:28+00:00

And some people wonder why many call them feminazis.

theappendixofchrist2 · 2016-01-10T05:10:14+00:00

If this was happening in the US I have one thing to say.

Me and my Mossberg 500 have something to say about that.

volkswgn · 2016-01-10T11:16:48+00:00

I agree with the article. We should have a curfew for all men at night... except for the police, firemen, ambulance techs.. factory workers, power plant employees, security personnel, city works staff, plumbers, electricians, road workers, taxi drivers, garbage men, city inspectors, signal techs, long haul drivers, delivery men, snow removal crews... wait a minute, feminists take all this stuff for granted.

SickleSandwich · 2016-01-10T12:45:12+00:00

Oh God, the comments in that article want to make me kill myself. It was only until now had I believed it was well known the 1 in 5 myth... yet here are several morons citing ONE IN THREE. The misandry in those comments...

ralphswanson · 2016-01-10T19:05:49+00:00

I pity today's feminist. Women in the west already have more rights then men, with laws, government and school programs, job quotas and social conventions all favoring women. So the only way to stay relevant is to spread lies and hatred. Here, she proudly stereotypes all men for the actions of a few with bigotry that would make any racist blush. More proof that political correctness simply means hating different people.

mammothleafblower · 2016-01-09T22:38:19+00:00

This is a brilliant idea! Get all the men off the streets so only women will be out. It's not like violent rapists would break the law & be out after curfew knowing there'd be no men on the streets to protect the women. Gun control logic never fails to impress.
