Man disrupts TV interview about women feeling unsafe in public spaces

1. Probably one of those “men are allowed to sit on benches as well” mega victim guys. He’ll be telling his mates down the pub about how his rights were suppressed by feminists.

2. Depressing. You would have to be a social failure to “show them” by sitting in the middle. Probably thinks he’s made a point by sitting where he likes.

3. [removed]

4. Gregg needs to find a more constructive way to fill his now empty days….

5. God why anonymise this arsehole. He was in a public place, he has no right to anonymity, if he chooses to be this much of a massive arsehole he ought to be able to do it in full view of the entire nation.

6. It happens every single time someone elevates an issue women endure with “WHAT ABOUT MEN!?!”

   Men feel unsafe, I concur, but who’s making you feel unsafe? Other men!

7. I was in disbelief when I saw this on the TV, it was almost like it was scripted. Those poor women have probably lost all faith in men. That boy needs to give his head a wobble.

   I am thankful to have excellent men in my life.

8. This looked staged to me and not at all organic, even their reactions looked muted and rehearsed.

   What better way to drum up a bit of buzz around the issue than to have the interview “interrupted” by a man literally taking up space when the topic is on safe spaces for women, its just a bit too convenient.

   Its an important topic as well which deserves air time and social awareness, it doesn’t need fake heat to put the story over.

9. They’ll probably need to show the abuse as no doubt people will try blow it off or defend it.

10. Such a pity there wasn’t a man there to teach him the error of his ways

11. What an actual muppet. If proving the point of the interview was on his mind then well he did a good job, otherwise is he so stupid that he couldn’t possibly think that this literally points out exactly how some men are rude and aggressive to women to the point we often are wary out and about.

12. That guy is clearly a prick, but come on, they moved “for the safety of everybody”? He wasn’t posing a threat just by being there.

13. What in the world. What the actual fuck is that guy doing? What a total fucking cretin.

14. “The women were forced to change location to an indoor venue where the only possible place to set up the camera was on the floor behind some chairs.”

15. Both men and women are victims of crime. Women get sexually assaulted more, men get physically assaulted more. If we could stop making this a gender debate, we would get much further.

    The fact that men are more likely to be criminals is not the fault of men who aren’t criminals. We can’t do anything about that fact.

16. Not really surprising, the amount of casual sexism allowed in society is mad

17. Classic Birkenhead that, didn’t stats show it was one of the places in the UK that has the highest reports of sexual assaults against women?

18. He should be named and shamed. A person knowingly doing that and making people deliberately uncomfortable is someone that everyone should be aware of.

19. Why they protect his identity, he wants to act like a clown then the world has a right to see who it was.

20. Tell me you’re lacking an education without telling me you’re lacking an education… 🔔

21. What sort of self centered twat sees a film crew and plonks themselves between strangers being interviewed?

22. Once in my mid-twenties, myself and two female friends were sitting and chatting on a park bench. An older man with his dog stopped to make idle chit-chat, and as we were hungover and one of us was moving abroad in a couple of days, after a few minutes of awkward one-word answers and half smiles, we politely said that we were having a friendly catch-up and asked if he could move on.

    When I tell you that this man freaked the fuck out, called us rude, snotty bitches, saying we must not be from around here because no locals would ever behave this way (this was our hometown lol) and proceed to push my bag off the end of the bench so he could sit down. He also implied that he thought we were teenagers which made the situation even more uncomfortable because why would a man in his 60s be stopping to chat with what he assumed were 3 underaged girls??

    We refused to leave and argued with him for over an hour, explaining that his behaviour was unacceptable. He eventually tired himself out and tried to shake our hands as he left for ‘no hard feelings’ once he realised that we were full-grown women and we would not be bullied into being polite or leaving the park due to his bratty behaviour.

    The entitlement of men like this is astounding.

23. r/unitedkingdom told me it was only immigrants that hate women because of their culture…

24. I work in TV, in situations just like this. Quite often, particularly in rougher areas, you just encounter knobheads. People who want to create a bit of drama so they can laugh about it later, with their friends.

    There’s no way to know his motivation, but I wouldn’t be so quick to put it down to the topic of the interview. Some people are just dicks regardless.

25. Men are the issue and I will never apologise for saying so.

26. Honestly as a guy myself.. I don’t get it?!? What do men care so much about a women feeding her kid? How does it affect your life in any aspect? PLEASE, explain to me how it’s left a stain on your life! 🤣
