Nottinghamshire Police Now Classify Street Harassment, Other Acts of Misogyny as Hate Crimes

[sugartitty]

Nottinghamshire has had it up to here with sexist douchecanoes. According to The BBC, police in the British county have expanded their definition of hate crimes to include acts of misogyny. The change was first championed last year by the Nottingham Women’s Centre during the Nottinghamshire Safer for Women Conference

I want to marry this idea that misogyny is a hate crime just like racist insults and have many, many babies.

If it's wrong to use the n-word, it is equally wrong to use slut, skank, bitch in the same demeaning way.

Not sure why the comparison is necessary...

This is a GREAT idea and I hope it catches on.

Thanks for posting this, OP. :)
