5 year old boy with autism put on sex offender's register for hugging a classmate

First of all, it's really disturbing that they're labelling a five-year-old as a sex offender when they have no comprehension of what they're doing.

However, I definitely wouldn't blame this on feminism. Feminism is about equality, not about alienating boys and men (those who try to do that are not true feminists).

I just hope this little boy gets the help he needs and has this awful 'sex offender' label removed.

Where do you stop once you reached the equality? How do you even define equality when you can not correctly interpret the statistics?

Do those who fight for any equal rights even have a proper definition of their goal and a plan what to do when the goal is reached?

What is it about the appalling domestic violence and fatal attack statistics that you consider unable to be correctly interpreted?

Don’t those who fight for equal rights have a perfectly obvious goal?

Isn’t the right not to be battered or murdered an equal rights issue?

I don’t question the fact that there are male victims of domestic violence.

I suspect the number of unreported incidents of domestic violence far exceeds the number of false allegations made. There are no statistics for either category.

With regards to stigma: what really disappoints me is the number of autistic males who adopt the 4 Chan INCEL narrative, and are thereby complicit in their own stigmatisation. I will always argue vociferously against that narrative.

That's because women who commit crimes are given far more leniency than men. There are also men who have been falsely accused.

There is a lot of stigma surrounding male victims of domestic violence which makes male victims less likely to come forward.

“Of those aged 16-74 who told the Crime Survey for England and Wales that they had experienced some form of domestic abuse since they were 16, a third were male and two thirds were female.”

You will have noticed that these figures do not allow us to discover the gender of those committing the abuse. Domestic abuse figures are not a record of just spousal or partner abuse.

“Perpetrators (of violent crimes) were most likely to be male, being reported to be so in around three-quarters of violent incidents (74%).” https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/articles/thenatureofviolentcrimeinenglandandwales/yearendingmarch2018#what-do-we-know-about-perpetrators-of-violent-crimes

“The majority of suspects convicted of homicide were male (236; 94%).” https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/articles/homicideinenglandandwales/yearendingmarch2018#what-do-we-know-about-suspects

“The vast majority of child sex offenders in England and Wales are male, with men representing 98% of all defendants in 2015/16, and white, with whites representing 85% of convicted child sex offenders and 86% of the general population in 2011.”

The feminist narrative is that violence is predominantly committed by men, regardless of the gender of the victims. The above figures endorse that narrative.

My specialist subject is the Middle East - it has been for over 35 years now. Quoting the figure below, during one my infrequent visits to the pub, does me no favours in the popularity stakes. :-)

The US has killed in excess of 1 million muslims during the last 30 years.
