    (I couldn't fit UK into the title, but I think these proposals only apply to there currently)

    I don't know whether there should be a specific hate crime for misogyny

    Misandry and prejudice against goths could also be added to legislation

    But if there is, it looks very biased if there is no similar crime for misandry
    Making misandry a hate crime will embolden abusive men

    It’s already too easy for men to cry foul every time a woman says or does anything they don’t like. Don’t enshrine that in law

    Some people may say something is an example of "misandry" when it may not be, but similarly "misogyny" and "misogynist" can sometimes get thrown around for simply, say, having a different view to somebody else or in some other way that doesn't equate to the hatred of women.
