Misogyny may become a distinct crime in Scotland, says Scotland's justice secretary

The killing of Sarah Everard has sparked fresh debate on how to protect women from violenceKeith Brown said men's attitude to low level sexism had to be challenged to make women safer.for the kidnap, rape and murder of Sarah Everard while Couzens was a serving police officer in London.

Labour MSP Johann Lamont tabled an amendment that would have included women as a protected group, giving the courts enhanced sentencing powers. New procedures mean members of the public who encounter an officer working alone in Scotland can verify their identity with the police control room. Sandy Brindley, from Rape Crisis Scotland, said one of the most "chilling" aspects of the Sarah Everard case was that Couzens was reportedly nicknamed "the rapist" by colleagues.

"I do think we need a clear commitment from the police to address these issues, but I don't think it's only for the police," she said.

how & who tf is going to define that? this law would likely be one of interpretation & never have any solid definition. it would quickly be abused. you are gravely mistaken if you think men have the upper hand anymore. women arguably hold far more power than men nowadays.

Im a normal single man and this is now making me anxious about meeting a woman to settle down with, every man is just gonna be deemed a monster.

Problem is the woketards can’t distinguish between a serious incident where a man grabs a woman who doesn’t want it with a man just simply holding the shop door open for them, both will get branded misogyny the same way 🤷‍♂️

“Why do women have small feet? So they can get closer to the sink.” I’ll expect the filth knocking on my door shortly.

England has righteous bus drivers…

I hate that.

Not misandry, then? Bit sexist, no?

Unless by Trans activists! 😙

One of my friends lost his wife because of misogyny. He told her to do the dishes and she immediately had a stroke, collapsed and died! Thank you for spreading awareness!
