Apparently men have to be tracked for safety reasons. (www.bbc.co.uk)

I find it alarming that to "protect" women, men have to be surveilled secretly in all public places. This is way beyond dystopian.

AI and remote security personnel get to decide if someone is "a predator" and take 'em down preemptively if they look suspicious.

What could possibly go wrong?

I think their point is that this technology will continue the trend of not making men take accountability for their actions. Expanding surveillance and preemptively arresting guys for being awkward does nothing to put guys like Brock Allen Turner (aka Brock Turner) (aka Allen Turner) in jail for raping people.

Definitely better ways to phrase it though. A lot of people think that "forcing men to take accountability for their actions" means "forcing all men to take accountability for all other men's actions," but that's not really what they said
