| Based on all this, only straight white men will receive no protection under the law. [news.trust.org] Misogyny should be made a hate crime in England and Wales, the independent body that recommends legal change said on Wednesday, as it launched a consultation on updating hate crime laws. The Law Commission said the proposal would give women specific protection from crimes such as assault and harassment where they were targeted on the basis of their sex. Women's rights activists have long called for such protections, which already exist for race, religion, sexual orientation, disability and transgender identity and can lead to harsher penalties for those convicted. "Misogyny is the soil which violence against women and girls grows in and this is our chance to tackle it," said opposition lawmaker Stella Creasy, who has campaigned for the change.

| #3 "Based on all this, only straight white men will receive no protection under the law" That is in fact the plan. CA wants to amend its constitution by removing the section banning discrimination based on race, gender and national origin. Once done, the dole out protections accordingly. They have only one target in mind. |
