Photos from Reclaim the Night March - from Soho to University of London Union, 25/11/05. Approx 600 women.



















Reclaim the Night returns in big numbers to London, 25/11/05. Some 600 women march from Soho Square to rally at University of London Union. Noisiest in passing Spearmint Rhino, lapdance club for sad men in Tottenham Court Road.

I went on RTN and it rocked. It was fantastic--500 happy, angry women shouting down the street. I had mixed feelings at first as I knew organisers had got a permit for the march route, but hey, there's more than one way to skin a cat. We all know the statistics on violence against women and the situation is v bad. I'd fervently like to see this as more of an issue amongst activists in general.

Feminists, doh!

Has somebody stolen the night from feminists, or women in general, in which it is neccesary to hold a march to reclaim it?

"We all know the statistics on violence against women"

Clearly you don't Tara because if you have ever seen results from the British Crime survey you will find that the the groups most likely to be victims of violent assaults on the streets are men between the ages of 16-24, and next men between the ages of 25-34.

"NB These are copyright photos, not for free commercial use."

How incredibly pretentious of you Pam. Do you really think anyone is going to want look at, let alone steal, such a horrendous group of photos.

"organisers had got a permit for the march route"

You must have felt that bit much less radical because of that Tara. If there hadn't been a permit, there probably would have been a revolution, and feminists would have taken over society for themselves.

"Noisiest in passing Spearmint Rhino, lapdance club"

Do you go around harrassing women who attend the Dreamboys, the Loverboys or the Chippendales? No, I didn't think so you sad hypocrites.

John, you must be a pathetic eunuch of a man to ally yourself with this feminist crap.

In order to counter this feminist critique, you might wish to look at the following website:

Then, you might begin to understand why the backlash against feminism is only just beginning.

I wish I'd attended now!

With all that gorgeous pussy there, I wish I'd got in on the action.

Good evening ladies."

I can smell you lovely ladies from here.

I won't spend much time on this in case it is deleted.

But, I would say that I don't think women are really that oppressed when it comes to going out at night.

Men are much more likely to be assaulted on a night out than women.

I don't think anyone supports violence against women, anymore than they would support violence against straight men or gay men.

You are totally against massively longer prison sentences for the criminal scum that infest our country, so there are currently hundreds of thousands of convicted paedophiles and god knows what other criminals living in OUR communities, yet you then claim to be against violence against women! What a bunch of idiots... While you're all busy slapping each other on the back, proclaiming how 'caring' you all are, you're also doing nothing about the real cause of crime: ludicrously short prison sentences, which allow criminal scum to REPRODUCE.
Do you care one iota about the CHILD who is born to criminal parents? Do you ever stop to think what hell they go through, until they are turned into a sociopathic monster too, by their own parents?
You can't have it both ways.
I'm just as keen to end violence against women as you are - because violent men ruin MY life, as a man, too. So why don't you idiots want to lock criminals up for DECADES, and why don't you want to bring back the firing squad for all the paedophiles and murderers?

I support your actions wholeheartedly; but consider that you are in danger of becoming perceived not as pro-freedom but anti men. There are many men who have the utmost respect for women and I ask you to bear that in mind.
