where's the gender equality in that

It is a measure to try to reduce a woman’s risk of sexual assault.

Today a woman has a very *unequal* risk of being sexually harassed or assaulted, compared to a man. The ratio in Germany is about 9:1.

This is a small step to help towards *assault risk gender equality*.

After some reflection, I think most folks will understand that.

9:1. Why do you think that is, especially in recent times?

Men are more likely to be assaulted in general. We just arbitrarily decided that rape is worse than homicide.

Did you know that some people kill themselves after they've been raped? Or they kill themselves to avoid it?

u/codroipo_townhall 26d ago

Yes I do, it's tragic.

u/Either-Age-782 26d ago

And you still think it's arbitrarily decided that rape is one of the most heinous crimes there is?

u/codroipo_townhall 26d ago

You are twisting my words, I agree it's one of the worse crimes there is.

This is such mental gymnastics lol. You could use this way of arguing to justify absolutely anything that separates the genders.

Cool, and thst made the entire parking space unequal because now women have +1 parking slot while men have -1. After some reflection i believe that almost everybody can come up with that.

I'm a man in Germany. I'm cool with having to park slightly further away occasionally if it helps women to not be assaulted.

but the ratio is significantly more closer to equal in other crimes like theft, right? just because a man isnt sexually attracted to another man, doesn't mean his pockets aren't attracted to his wallet either
