In the UK recently there has been a lot in the newspapers and the news about the conviction of a police officer who raped and murdered a woman.

Not a nice guy obviously. There has been an outcry from women about violence against women. There was a march yesterday calling for an end against violence against women. This to me is too simplistic. You can campaign for an end to war, it just won't happen.

On social media there are calls to have men taught not to rape women. Really ? I need to be taught that?

Ricky Gervais answered that a few years back.

I argued no amount of courses would deter a "wrong un" from doing this. It has to go back to how children are raised.

Years back my youngest son got into trouble for hitting a girl when he was 10. The school took a dim view to violence against girls. When they looked into it, this girl was larger than my son used to punch boys and laugh at them saying they were not allowed to hit her back. Pre-puberty , girls are physically as strong as boys mostly. So the non violence agenda has to work both ways. I did read on the internet that women were quicker to resort to violence than men. Although being physically weaker the results are often milder, so go unreported.

17-45% of lesbians report physical abuse at the hands of a female partner, for example, and in heterosexual couples – while women do suffer higher overall rates of victimisation – 19% of men say they have been assaulted by a partner at least once.

I argued on Linkendin with a few women saying men should have a curfew.. If you have seen Y the last man, you would realise that the world would come to a halt without men doing their jobs. There would be almost nowhere for these women to go , no taxi's etc. After a while she admitted it was said to answer guys saying women shouldn't go out late at night.

A few men pointed out that men are 3 times more likely to be murdered than women. They were shouted down for trying to change the point of the discussion. It's male violence so you're a man you must stop it.

Strangely enough the biggest convicted mass rapist in the UK raped over 200 men. There is a tv program about it tonight.

Most of the arguments were knee jerk stuff. It's men's fault etc. I pointed out that perhaps women shouldn't be allowed to work in children's wards because Beverley Allitt killed 4 children and nearly killed 6 more.

You can't blame a whole gender for a few bad people. It is going crazy. Nottinghamshire police to count wolf-whistling in street as a hate crime. While I agree that certain misogynistic behavior could be a hate crime. It seems to be taking it too far.

There a bill to class misogynistic behavior and misandry as hate crime going through.

While I don't know what women go through as I'm not a women , or what black people go through as I'm not black. It doesn't help to tell the decent caring people that they are scum because someone that looked like them did something bad. It doesn't want to make you help , you just get bogged down defending yourself.

But that's what we seem to do now as a species isn't it?
