Default The city that made misogyny a hate crime

https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/v...sogyny-illegal

This sounds a pretty good idea to me in theory considering how big an issue it is and how most women have exoerienced it to varying degrees at least once in their life, but it seems that it makes little difference to many. The message is simply not getting through.

This is a Vice article, so it's probably complete horsecrap.

Quote:
Leering, groping, stalking, taking unwanted photos, sexually explicit language, unwanted sexual advances and online abuse are among the incidents that can be flagged.
So things which were either crimes or anti-social behaviour anyway?

Yeah. They don't fall under misogyny, they come under abuse, assault and stalking.

Since the enforcement began, there have been 167 reports of misogyny. Of these, 68 were treated as hate crimes, including public order offences, harassment and assault, and 99 were treated as hate incidents, such as intimidating behaviour, inappropriate sexual comments and verbal abuse. The reports have led to four arrests and one charge.

So were basically criminal offences anyway and didn't require people in their ignorant quest for equality to actually perpetuate inequality.

Could you not say exactly the same about other offences such as racism, religious intolerance and tr@nsphobia all classed as hate crimes - what’s the difference?

Why should misogyny not be classed as a hate crime when it clearly is? Should we remove the offence of hate crimes altogether then? It really should be all or nothing. Anything else is blatant discrimination. .

Nottingham was famous in my youth for boasting a 2.5 to 1 ratio of Females to Males and was THE destination for groups of hopeful but stupid men who were out to get 'lucky' with all those 'available' girls.

It comes as no surprise, therefore, that decades later the city has a 'Misogyny' problem.

By the way - and purely in my opinion - Misogyny really is a 'Hate Crime' - on a par with, and as old as 'Racism', 'Homophobia', Transphobia or any other 'phobia', and should NOT be tolerated.

But then you are not a Woman and haven’t been on the receiving end have you. Physically women are more vulnerable and that vulnerability is abused all the time by hateful men. How anyone can state it is not a hate crime is seriously laughable and reeks of agendas.

Closed for cleaning, just a warning aswell for this thread when I reopen it and for any others in here, if people continue to just attack eachother rather than sticking to the topics of threads then I will just ban you from SDs. It's getting tiresome now and all the threads in here are being ruined.

...actually Oliver I’m going to take it a bit more off dierection../...apologies...and just because the Anne Hegerty thread is closed now...so following on...


...I googled a little bit ...and it seems that many female feminists would prefer ‘non trans’ to ‘cis’...if a term had to be applied at all...but ‘woman’ has always faced suppression in society and in recent years, is only just becoming more powerful...or of more equal power to ‘man’...in some areas, still a struggle etc...the news story at the moment of the leads in The Crown TV series...being an example of equality still not having been reached and ‘man’ having more power than ‘woman’, we could say...their salaries weren’t equal, his was higher..and yet she was The Crown...the title character portrayed...so it’s only recent times that ‘woman’ is being reclaimed as it were in its power and it’s equality...so then woman is told it’s not woman, it’s cis-woman...leaving no choice, leaving ‘suppression’ felt again, surely...?...’man’ has never felt those suppression’s, so it wouldn’t have the same impact of association...if in general a cis-man feels fine about it, you know...but some women don’t at all...and then it’s down to our individuality like all things...I’m fine with it, actually I hadn’t been familiar with it until these discussions...but I completely understand why many women wouldn’t feel so open to it...because they didn’t choose it, they were give no choice and no choice in certain things is something that ‘woman’ is very familiar with...

Going for the fact I'm a man so I'm incapable of understanding really doesn't help your argument in the slightest.

Presuming I've never been on the receiving end of a hate crime there too. You don't know me.

You have never been on the receiving end of being assaulted, verballly or sexually abused because you are a woman which is what I was clearly talking about.

Most women, as I mentioned earlier, have been to varying degrees as it goes on everywhere - on the streets, in the workplace, on public transport, in the home, on-line - you name it.

I can't have escaped every female's notice, that the people posting negatively in threads about women are all men. Men who have never experienced casual sexual oppression in the way women have. And after thousands of years of men speaking for us, they have to learn that we don't need them to sort it out for us. We waited long enough, now we're going to sort it out ourselves.

I didn't say women don't face sexism.

I also didn't say I knew better.

Do I think much of the attitude displayed in much of the OP's link? Not really. Nor do I think it justifies the casual sexism thrown at men as some kind of retaliation.

I don't wish to get all "the truth" on a topic about women, that's really not me. But it smacks of self victimisation. Especially in several topics on this forum when I'm told my opinion holds no validity as a man.

Equality doesn't come from a war with the group you want parity with imo. No, I'm not a woman, does that make me incapable of comprehending injustice or discrimination? No. Does it make me incapable of relating to a fellow human being? No.

No. But you won't point out all of the female posters making regular condescending and derogatory remarks about men and male posters. That doesn't fit the narrative.
