Should Mysogyny Be A Hate Crime?

[agchristie]

What do you reckon?

[ummmm]

It'll solve nothing.

Should a word that literally means "hatred of women" be classified as a hate crime... ?

[jackthehat]

No.
We are all free to think what we like in the privacy of our own heads.

It'd be excellent if this thread could proceed based on 'general' misogyny rather than religion-specific misogyny.....

But seeing as it took 9 posts for the I-word to raise its ugly head, I don't hold out much hope.

[jim360]

Well yes, obviously what people think isn't a crime as long as they don't act on it. But this isn't about "thought crimes".

[agchristie]

Exactly JTH.

The same point SP1814 raised on another thread yesterday.

Hatred of women is not exclusive to one religion.

Correction, most reported Domestic Abuse perpetrators were White British.

But then since at the moment White British are in the majority in this country, then it is a mathematical fact that the sum total would be higher.

And not a sight or sound of AOG, I feel so pleased that I am not the only one being criticised for daring to use that dreaded "I" word.

From the link:-

'Already women are ringing through to the police saying: ‘I want this to be recorded as a misogynistic hate crime’.

I don't think Islamic women are going to be the ones ringing up somehow..

I'm sure that if it was 'Islamic women' ringing up the idea would be dropped like a hot potato.

I think the first three post on the thread covered all that needs to be said.

AOG > Correction, most reported Domestic Abuse perpetrators were White British.

Yes,that would be the case.

Please stop trying to draw attention to yourself, what do you want?

[ummmm]

I want a lottery win and to live in the countryside with lots of cute animals.

Until that happens I'd like you, AOG, to realise that people post without you in mind!

All material items ummmm, health and happiness for yourself and everyone you hold dear are the two most important items you should wish for.

You, yourself disproves that statement for a start, and try telling those who forever mention me, even when I have not joined into a particular discussion.

[jackthehat]

Dear AOG,

Please stop derailing this thread with your own pomposity.

Thankyou.

[ummmm]

And please don't tell me what I should wish for.
