Would crime rates lower, if males would get exhausted on a daily basis?

For example obstacle courses to get to and from work or school

    To a certain extent yes, but there would still be crime because they would be to tired to go out & get a real job. They could do something even worse like getting someone else to do their dirty work for them. However that's a Great theory you have Haley. It would certainly help a lot especially in the bad neighborhoods. It would decrease the numbers but I don't think it would be the complete answer to the problem. I would like to say thanks for your comment on my answer in the horoscopes section. You are always a sweetheart. If you don't see my reply there; I wish you lovely days ahead LionQueen =).

    "Would crime rates lower, if males would get exhausted on a daily basis?"

    You misunderstand males and masculinity in general. This sounds like very feminist thinking. The idea that all men are criminals that just need to be distracted from performing crime is also a little bit insulting to all men.

    The reality is that the men who are going to work and school, and vested in such a system are NOT criminals that you are trying to "distract". The criminals on the other hand will probably not be going to work or school, and will purposely not be involved in any system that we have control over.

    Criminals are subversives to any system. And so any "solutions" you have for them are going to be fully ignored. Just like the faulty "teach men not to rape" will only insult the vast majority of men who will never rape anyone, while any rapist in the room will just tune out and laugh in his mind at the whole affair.

    This is really just collectively blaming all men for the bad actions of the few. And it does more harm than any good.

    Sure ... and productivity would fail, the economy would fail ... but yeah, at least initially crime rates would decrease.

    Females having sex with men would exhaust them. C'mon, Haley, do your part for society!

    no, that would build up their endurance and give them energy to commit even more crimes

    What about the ones that don't work or go to school? You know...the ones committing the crimes.
