But there’s no parallel apart from the fact that trains are involved. It’s not compulsory it’s an option. Likening it to the treatment of Jews/Homosexuals/Gypsies/Communists/Blacks under the Nazis is ridiculous to the point of outright offensive to Germans. The only factor that links the two are the fact that there…

People are outright comparing it to the holocaust...

Xenophobia.

“along with clothes and some Trojan condoms. The whole drug smuggler thing notwithstanding, at least she was practicing safe sex.”

He said/She said at the moment.

The Metropolitan Police (UK) recently dropped its official policy on sexual assault of “a victim should always be believed” due to the impact this has had on high profile cases where there were members of parliament who were maliciously targeted.

“too much Disc world”

I agree with your general point here, but it’s worth noting that Belgium is hardly a fascist state. The muslim population there isn’t oppressed, but still young people were radicalised there and went out and bombed both their own and neighbouring countries.

I never once even hinted that I might suggest that an insinuation could potentially be made that men experience anywhere near the same level of harassment as women.

If you disbelieve me, please ask any British guy friend you might have. Honestly, I am that convinced that if you ask any British guys you might know “Have you seen groups of girls/women catcalling/wolf whistling/propositioning or groping guys on nights out” they will answer in the affirmative.

My account, actually.

Would you say disbelieving victims is the best way to go about sexual harassment claims? That’s what you’ve done. All snarky comments aside, in this comments chain you’ve disbelieved perfectly reasonable claims of harassment and implied that any harassment that might possibly have occurred is just a lesson in humility…

I don’t really care if you believe me or not. If you just for a brief moment consider that the sheltered bubble you appear to live in where women are never sexually aggressive may not hold true to other cultures then my work here is done.

Not even slightly so. Tilt at windmills all you like, I simply informed you that your statement “men as a whole don’t experience this” is perhaps true in the US, but catcalling and groping by women is commonplace in city centres in the UK at night time. The fact that you want me to be saying it’s just as bad as how…

I wasn’t the one suggesting this wasn’t a problem. That was you.

Well, the second half of the statement implies that women haven’t been doing this for a long time. Where I am from (and Mr Cavill, which is the important part) they have been doing.

I am that stick man.

Normal men don’t. Fucking horrible men do. If normal men did this, it wouldn’t even be news. This is an absolute aberration.

“I’m giving away many years of my life.”

I see the logic, but I don’t know... it just feels off. It’s neither one thing nor the other.
