Hate crime laws (inclusion of women)

    Have already posted it in the OI.

    What do you think?

    One thing which has been bothering me.

    It is illegal to for example verbally attack ethnic minorities or slur them. In a few countries, it is also illegal to slur members of the LGBTQ community.

    At the same time, it is legal to write or state really horrendous things about women.

    Women are 51% of humanity. We are doing 60% of the total work. Several millions of us are raped or killed by men every year. Yet, sexism seems perfectly fine amongst males to tell tasteless jokes about us, denigrate us (porn industry) and discriminate against us.

    I believe that hate crime laws should be stricter, bringing prison sentences instead of fines.

    I also think that women should be included in hate crime laws. It should be illegal to:

    Make pornography where females are abused, either in script or as actors.

    Promote violence against women.

    Promote the pick-up artist culture (blogs like Roissy in D.C).

    Promote Pro-life positions which are heavily abusive against women.

    What do you think about the subject?
