Sure, and instead of wasting billions every year busting low-level drug dealers our governments could be going after spousal abusers and date-rapists and setting up stings for sexual assaults in high-crime areas. You know, crimes with actual victims.
But preventing violence against women has always been among the lowest priorities for law enforcement. So naturally, sexual violence against men, which is far rarer, is even farther off the radar. But of course we gotta stop those pesky drugs users and small-time peddlers at any cost!
Idk man recently there have been calls in the UK as to "what is the police/government doing to help with violence against women"
But there has never been a call for me; the short guy targeted at bars/clubs because I'm an "easy" target. Male on male violence is the highest and it's just completely ignored for "boys will be boys". Men can read the aggression & will naturally cower/back off because we know we'll get hit, I've seen women at clubs being mouthy, pushy aggressive towards dudes bc they know their chance of being hit is so low.
Not dismissing violence against women, just sad that even after some form of enlightenment where the police actually help women, I'll still be out here trying not to get into altercations with drunk assholes.
Re-read what the person wrote; this time take from it that the writer is saying 'it isn't going to happen because law enforcement have their priorities misaligned.'
