There is a program on channel 4 at the moment talking about the subject.
Well, while we are all actually voyeurs, i.e. you see a nice looking female/male (by that I don’t mean a hermaphrodite), walking down the street in some tight jeans; you do turn and have another look.
But this program is showing the “hardcore” voyeurs. Now, I don’t mind people who are like-minded meeting up and watching each other, or taking pictures pretending that they don’t know, you know, fake voyeur, but this is showing how technology has impacted and now every 1 in 1000 women in the UK has probably been snapped in the nude.
Now, that may not sound like a large sum, but they are being snapped in places that are supposed to be private, dressing rooms and such. Also, just think, that 1 in 1000 could be your sister or mother or something.
What are your views on the whole thing?
Also, this is a family forum, but I think if handled maturely this subject can be discussed on here.

pushing her over would be a good one - one girl was throwing punches at a friend once, all he did was move out the way and she fell flat into a huge puddle.
did I laugh? nooooooo

Hedfix, how old are you?
Yeah I got hit by a girl at school for a few minutes, couldn't get away: she was sort of spinning round me hitting me and not allowing me to just leave, then I hit her back.
I got suspended for a week.
I guess I should've just pushed her over or something.

Looking at what is in front of you is natural, going looking for it and invading someones privacy is another matter entirely.
So do you think women feel fear when a bloke looks at them?

I'm on about meeting people you dont know, which is where this started from, i've no problem with women looking at me because i'm confident that i can take care of myself and i'm not threatened by it, most women dont have that luxury and it is the percieved threat or possibility the you are not safe that is the difference between men being looked at and women being looked at.
Domestic violence is a whole other subject.

the point is if you even grabbed hold of her to restrain her from hitting you, chances are the neanderthal next to her would see this as a perfectly good reason to shove a pint glass in your face.
if this was out in the open, and the boyfriend wasn't there, I would avoid her, and if I couldn't I would try to restrain her. if that failed - I'm not going to just stand there and let the daft bint punch me. political correctness works both ways, love.

Not really. If you trace the previous of most rapists they will have started out doing something as simple as flashing.

That is pretty much perfectly summing up what I think.
We have all been out for a night on the town and seen some girl flash their knickers, but actually hiding camera's and filming women performing person acts, such as going to the toilet just seems wrong to me.

I would hope that the other friends would get in the way. If she is focused on him and they get in the way then it may just become a verbal bashing. Of course, when I've been getting in-between people like that I am in uniform.
But from your scenario you seem more worried about the kicking from the boyfriend then the moral aspect of hitting the woman.

I've been attacked by a demented chicken before. Just so you know.
On the subject of voyeurism, the real stuff, not just snaffling a gander down some woman's top, is a rather serious worry.
The argument "what they don't know won't hurt them" is all well and good, but how long before they DO get hurt? You see, most people progress from things, be that from shandy to beer, LSD to crack, voyeurism to hardcore. OK, perhaps a bit of a generalisation. But I am pretty certain that the chances of a voyeur suddenly going on an abduction and raping spree is probably a bit higher than someone who isn't in to things like that.
My worry is that if there are so many people who prey on other people's innocence or stupidity, what else might they prey on? Obviously if someone goes to such lengths as to set up a camera in a toilet or something, they must have some kind of screw lose somewhere.
I don't worry about it happening to me, but then the odds of anything bad happening to me because somebody just suddenly lost control are rather small. If I was female, I think I might be just a touch bothered by some dirty old man perving over me.
