RIP Sarah Everard, who went missing from Brixton in March 2021

American porn has had a massive effect. Can anyone remember a time when it was not normal entertainment for men to hurt and degrade women? Outside of porn, it's fairly normal for American men to describe all women as whores who only want men for their money. There's so much American culture which portrays marriage as a financial transaction. Maybe the UK is as bad? So many men think that you have to pay for sex in a relationship, so you might as well just buy it from a prostitute. Love and friendship and companionship are not part of the equation.
Fuck American porn and look at the way cop shows from pretty much every country focus on the violent deaths of women for salacious entertainment. Beamed into houses across the UK on free channels almost every night of the week. You can sit there with your partner watching people discuss brutal killings of young women while eating your tea, it's socially acceptable
 
With the radical/far right using misogyny to attract recruits it makes sense to act as you suggest. Clearly as trashpony says there should be a zero tolerance policy and people coming out with this bullshit should be pulled up on it. But as you say with your reference to incels misogyny is becoming a rallying point around which forces of reaction gather.

The Incels are a subset of fascism and a stream into it. Andrew Tate is a YouTube talking head promoting the disrespect of women and appeared on Big Brother so not simply a nobody.
He sells Incel courses on his website.
I’m slightly perturbed that my sharing of this kind of information leads to accusations of bad faith on my part.
 
The whole story appals me, how someone can become so aberrant that they have to do this to get their kicks is beyond my comprehension. I am sure that someone as aberrant would give away some tells to those around them, hence being known as the rapist in his previous role.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn at some point that he has done this (or slightly less appalling offences) before and so far got away with it. Despite that he resoundingly failed to use his job knowledge to avoid detection in this case. I just doubt that people go from zero to rape killing in one go.

That's been said a couple of pages back. Also what 'tells' do you think mark a man out to be an obvious rapist, apart from his colleagues calling him 'the rapist'?

Did you know stranger rape is not the only form of rape? That many women are raped by someone they know?

Rapists aren't marked with an R branded on their foreheads. If they were, they'd be a lot fewer and easily avoidable.
 
weltweit in my experience there's a few types of predator- the charmers like Bundy who are super nice until they're not; the weird loner incel types who loathe women with every fibre of their being; and those people who are just a bit 'off' but act questionably, like standing too close to a woman in a lift, or making inappropriate remarks.

Each one will have their own set of behaviours. You can't necessarily tell.
 
Really coming onto a thread about a woman kidnapped raped and murdered by a serving policeman and telling women they've done feminism wrong? Really?

I’ve never said that women do feminism wrong. I said that I do monitor misogynists when faced with the accusation that I wouldn’t care about feminism.

And it's interesting that there are so many types of predator. Is it that the same childhood experiences are being translated differently and are then acted out differently, is it personality types? And there are different coping strategies that we develop for each, too. The cheerfully wandering hand, the rage that you can feel radiating from someone, the too-competitive anger. You learn to deal with them all in different ways.
