Because it’s a civil crime, which means that the victims of the violation are the ones tasked with enforcing it. And unless a case is large or complex, organisations that promote civil rights can’t take it on, because they need to use their resources as efficiently as possible. Fighting for one worker who needs an extra break to maintain good blood sugar levels isn’t worth it on the grand scale, doesn’t make enough of a difference for the community as a whole, so that employee is left out in the cold by framing accessibility as a personal responsibility, right down to the legal handling of accommodations requests and discrimination.

“I just wanted to say to him:
If its ok for you to rape me because I was dressed like a ‘slut/skank/ho/whore’; then is it ok for me to shoot/stab/maim/kill you because you are a male who looks threatening? Aren’t you asking for it?”

Seriously you guys walking round in big drunken groups, wearing tshirts that show off your muscles that could potentially pin me to a wall, being rowdy at the back of the almost empty 10.20pm bus and making the space around you feel less safe for anyone who is not a white cis man - if I pull out a knife and stab every last one of you “I’m entitled to every inch of space around me” fuckers it’s fine because you were totally asking for it because the way you’re acting and looking fits right into my ideas of a man who could potentially damage me or other women. What do you expect walking around acting like you could hurt someone at the drop of a hat? It’s your fault, I can’t help myself when I see a potential threat, it’s just nature. If you don’t want to be stabbed for looking threatening then cover up, wear something baggy to hide your muscular body, walk around by yourself so you’re less intimidating and keep your head down when I walk past so I don’t think you’re going to target me.
