With the fear of this thread becoming a bit of a bashing thread and the risk thereof of a wholly one sided debate its deffo not an exclusive man thing in regards to some of the anecdotal experiences of rudeness.
I think thats universal.
People are very rude man.
The issue is entitlement, not class or race just people in general are so rediculously entitled now they feel they can do whatever they want. they have the confidence to be extreme. the platforms. there could definitly be some weight to the generational thing, theres some way to go and weve had a bit of a set back
This Everand case Im very ignorant to the specifics but no, whatever happened is not acceptable. I know a women is dead and a man has been charged and has been to hospital twice in a few days or summat.
Edit; im kinda guessing the rest from the story being so prevalant
This person didnt understand no, or they did and did what they wanted to anyway cos why shouldnt they, in every other aspect of their life they are probably urged and rewarded for that sort of maverick behaviour, until iyts gone wayyyy too far, like this instance.
I feel theres something to be said for the humble sorry sorry sorry british stereotype stay away from everyone no eye contact etc etc. tho its not a british thing, its a type of person, old fashioned.
I dont want to be a rambling dick here and i fully understand the context and sexual crimes are abhorrent, keep the focus on that.
Why does rape happen.
Discuss the attitudes that lead to sexual crimes.
Men and women should respect each other no doubt, its very clear many dont.
RIP Sarah and all victims.
