Misowhatty now?
Updating to add the prompt for this post:
The National (Scotland) reports:
A RADICAL new report has recommended world-leading misogyny laws should be introduced in Scotland to protect women and girls from male violence.
Baroness Helena Kennedy was tasked with investigating how the Scottish justice system deals with misogyny in January 2021, with the results revealed in the report Misogyny – A Human Rights Issue.
But what are women? What are girls? What is misogyny? How can they introduce any laws to protect women and girls when they don’t know what women and girls are?
The group defined misogyny as a “way of thinking that upholds the primary status of men and a sense of male entitlement, while subordinating women and limiting their power and freedom.”
But what are women? What are men? How can men subordinate women when women can become men? Surely the women just say “You can’t do that to me, I’m a man.” It would be transphobia to say no you’re not.
The report added that conduct based on misogynistic thinking can include, “a range of abusive and controlling behaviours including rape, sexual offences, harassment and bullying, and domestic abuse.”
You’d think, but that’s true only if people are stuck being women or men, as opposed to being able to identify out by saying some words. If the borders are porous, then all this rape and bullying and domestic abuse happens to both sexes (and genders). Human sex is soup, and nobody can tell who is what is which.
Kennedy explained that one of the main issues in Scots law is getting convictions for crimes such as rape and domestic abuse, and that one of the main reasons women don’t feel comfortable reporting violence committed against them is because the justice system is “imbued with misogyny” and a change of perspective is needed across all levels – police, judiciary and government.
You know, from that, you’d think she really does know what a woman is. But that can’t be right can it? They’re not allowed to know in Scotland.
However, the findings ruled out the addition of “sex” as a characteristic to existing hate crime legislation as misogyny is so deeply rooted in society that a more fundamental set of responses is required.
Oh, I see, that makes sense. The problem is so deeply rooted that they mustn’t add it to the long list of protected characteristics, instead they must gaze longingy into the middle distance hoping for a solution.
