Ministers to reject making misogyny a hate crime in England and Wales | Hate crime | The Guardian

Ministers will reject making misogyny a hate crime in England and Wales and urge MPs to get behind controversial legislation that has been criticised for curbing the right to protest as the government seeks to push through major changes to the criminal justice system.
In a move which will set up a clash with Conservative backbenchers and opposition MPs when the police, crime, sentencing and courts bill returns to parliament next week, the home secretary, Priti Patel, will write to members on Monday saying the government will oppose a Lords amendment that would extend hate crimes to cover misogyny.
The Home Office said its rejection is based on a Law Commission report, which warned that extending hate crimes to cover misogyny would prove “more harmful than helpful” to victims of violence against women and girls.

I'd like to see proof of that. But the Tory government is led by a misogynist, so I can't say I'm surprised.

Mind poison

Cult-like church’s takeover of Idaho college town is fueled by a misogynist, rape-friendly theology

Something makes the human mind susceptible to this kind of bullshit. And in the US, more and more people seem to be falling victim to it (roughly 40% by last count).

We know this kind of (anti-)thinking increases in times of stress, as when a country suffers economic hardship and extreme wealth disparities, for example in pre-WWII Germany and Italy, and pre-Soviet Russia.

The question whose answer could save all life on Earth is, How do we combat it?

Cult-like church’s takeover of Idaho college town is fueled by a misogynist, rape-friendly theology

In most regards, Moscow, Idaho, is the embodiment of the bucolic college town: tree-covered neighborhoods, quiet streets, quaint shops downtown, and a pretty University of Idaho college campus. But for people who live there, the insidious presence...

[…] So when I am in a familiarly #dangerous situation where I feel #threatened because of my past #experiences, there is a good chance my #reflex is going to be #fight and not #flight and that “fight” might just be a #pint glass over the head when #you put your #hands around my #throat. #Choking someone because they threw a #drink on you for continually #harassing [them] is a disproportionate response.

This is a visual response to the misogynist comments and online harassment I have faced since posting my injuries at the hands of a man I got into a barfight with last weekend. The story went viral,...
