"The force has spent three months training officers and staff on misogyny hate crime, and said it covers ‘incidents against women that are motivated by an attitude of a man towards a woman’."
A hate crime is simply any incident, which may or may not be deemed as a criminal offence, which is perceived by the victim or any other person, as being motivated by prejudice or hatred.
Feminists PERCEIVE straight men as being motivated by hatred. Why should we give their feelings power?
Even if you hated men - wouldn't you want the women who want men to be able to find them?
Misogyny hate crime, in addition to the general hate crime definition, may be understood as incidents against women that are motivated by an attitude of a man towards a woman, and includes behaviour targeted towards a woman by men simply because they are a woman.
Examples of this may include unwanted or uninvited sexual advances"
So they have moved the goalposts of misogyny so any incident that any woman dislikes is interpreted as a crime against all women everywhere. Any sexual advance or anything "which is perceived by the victim or any other person", i.e. Feminists, who perceive everything a man does as being motivated by prejudice or hatred.
How do Feminists get away with conflating a sexual advance with a hatecrime?
Repetition! They love the term "cat-calling" because it means anything they want it to - it's never clearly defined. It's about feelings, not facts.
Say you hate Julia Gillard, like me. You say "I hate Julia Gillard!"
Well, that's hatecrime, you racist, and it means you will be punished.
Say you are a Muslim and you say "I hate homosexuals and atheists, and look forward to implementing Sharia so we can kill them all" - well, that's just diversity and if you object to that, you're sexist!
"Police, who have been working with Nottingham Women’s Centre on the subject, added that the crime includes ‘behaviour targeted towards a woman by men simply because they are a woman’. "
"behaviour targeted towards a woman by men simply because they are a woman"
Hmm.
Like the words "I think you are beautiful" or "Would you like my phone number?"
That is now hatecrime.
Telling someone that you find them attractive... is hatecrime.
But only if it's from a man to a woman, of course.
Lesbians, you can do any bloody thing to women and the cops will just look the other way! Go for it! We don't care!
"There were seven of us at the sleepover. One woman showed particular interest in me, and started asking me questions about my love life. I thought nothing of it -- people are interested in others' relationships all the time, right?
I told her my marriage was on the rocks and I was upset that I hadn't had sex in quite a while. She looked into my eyes and I thought I noticed a hint of longing in her eyes as she said, "But, you're so sexy. You deserve to have sex." "
This means that a straight man trying to hit on women can be technically described as a "hate crime" now pic.twitter.com/MZTEVU1tPk
"I admit it–I’m a feminist who hates men. I feel nothing but revulsion, disgust, and distrust for men. I’m that type of woman everyone makes stereotypical jokes about."
No, luv, we don't make jokes about women being man-haters.
We state that Feminists are man-haters - and when we point out examples, your Sisterhood pretends you are not 'real' Feminists.
We point to organisations like NOW, which have the ear of US Presidents, which help write misandric laws and export feminist dogma world-wide - and the Sisterhood always, always, find an excuse for it.
Emma is in a cult. Emma has some doubts. Will she escape? Or will her conditioning prevail?
"I haven’t always hated men. I used to have a high sex drive, and I wanted to get married and have children and a family of my own just like everyone else I knew. In fact, deep down I still wish I could do those things. But I know that just won’t be possible."
So you're in a cult. The Leader is telling you to gas the Jews (or Jewish men in this case).
What do?
Step One:
Get. Out.
Run hard, fucker.
Not all cults involve rituals. Cults of personality start off very focused on a person.
Although Valerie Solanas has a small Cult of Personality built up around her, it is the mystical beliefs that she introduced into Feminism that are the defining feature.
The idea that all men, everywhere, secretly hate and conspire against women.
Patriarchy.
Faced with that conspiracy, all violence becomes justified.
All atrocities are justified.
Feminists laugh when they hear about male suicides.
They sing in joy at the idea.
When confronted with new information, open minded people will evaluate it, and may change their mind. Bigots do not.
Instead, they become angry. Feminists should be rejoicing that there is no wage gap. Instead, they double down.
The lack of proof there is a wage gap becomes proof there is a wage gap.
Of course it is.
You have confessed your hatred, and that is the first step to self-awareness.
You need therapy, certainly, from someone who doesn't hate men - so not a Feminist.
You need to distance yourself, at least for a while, from those who would reinforce your bigotry, and try dealing with the objects of your loathing in a civil manner
- in limited doses, with someone to hold your hand and keep you from becoming violent.
Not easy, I know, but you can manage it.
Baby steps now!
Try talking to a woman who isn't a Feminist. See if she can help.
Hint: almost everyone isn't a Feminist.
"I didn’t start hating men because I was a feminist who was angry at men for having more rights"
Of course you didn't, because they don't.
Feminists can't name a right men have that women don't.
Instead they whine about men being safe walking around the streets at night - despite the readily available statistics to the contrary.
" I began hating them because they outright HURT me."
A white boy is hurt by black boys. What should he do? By your wretched reasoning, he should - as you do - hate all back boys. But you take it further. You hate nearly FOUR BILLION PEOPLE because you say two of them did you wrong.
Jesus. Fucking. Christ.
"One trusted male friend of mine who I had known for ten years suddenly put drugs in my beverage one evening"
How terrible! What happened when you went to the police with the evidence?
You didn't? Is that because this never happened? Maybe you just drank too much and think you were drugged? Gosh, could you be responsible for your own actions? Heavens to Betsy!
"When his plan failed because he didn’t put enough drugs in my drink to completely knock me unconscious, he suddenly stopped speaking to me."
So... he stopped talking to you?
That's the bit you think is important?
Yeah, I'm gonna call total bullshit on that one. If someone tried to rape me, I AM NOT GOING TO CARE IF THEY DON'T WANT TO TALK TO ME.
I AM GOING TO CARE WHAT THE POLICE HAVE TO SAY WHEN I FILE MY COMPLAINT.
FFS! Seriously, Feminists are a pack of whining cunts!
"Another trusted male friend of mine who I had known for many years took advantage of me by suddenly telling me that he had had feelings for me"
So his evil plan was... he told you how he felt. He expressed his feelings. He was honest.
He did what feminists keep telling men to do.
That was how he hurt you.
By not being a fucking robot. Fuuuuuuuck I don't hate women but by all the gods, I fuckin' hate you.
"Then he ran off and slept with literally one woman after another after another after another"
Ahhh, slut-shaming! Oh, right, it's fine if you do it - it's bad if a man does it. He wasn't in relationship with you. He can fuck anyone he wants.
" some of them other men’s wives & girlfriends"
And yet you don't seem to hold them responsible for their actions.
Because women can do no wrong, in the eyes of Feminism.
Feminism constantly dehumanises men and women.
It paints men as slavering beasts, and women as helpless children.
It teaches women that nothing they do is evil. It teaches men that nothing they do is good.
"At that point, I was no longer a person or even a human being anymore; I was just an object."
No, you were an agent, responsible for your own bad choices. You just want to push all responsibility onto men.
You have chosen to be a victim, because it is easier than facing the hard choices life is offering you.
"I was no better than all the hundreds of other unsuspecting women he had slept with. "
Feminism means never having to accept responsibility.
Another 'unsuspecting' woman having sex. If only women had brains and could use them like men do. Feminism says this is impossible, but we live in hope.
If hundreds of 'unsuspecting' women are sleeping with him - no, that's fucking bullshit, their panties aren't slipping off by accident, they aren't slipping on a banana skin and falling onto his cock...
"I was just a dumb fool who got used and tossed aside: a joke. "
Fuck. Ok, that's enough. The pity party is over. What shits me about how Feminists is not how many of them seem to be emotionally retarded, but that they can actually suck other people into their narcissistic self-absorbtion.
If this was a male, we should say MAN THE FUCK UP. You had some bad experiences? You aren't good at finding the right partners? Get over it. Get better at it. Don't you DARE blame all women for the failings of your relationships.
So why do we treat women as if they were weaker than men?
Why is that inequality APPLAUDED by Feminism? And it is applauded - this person was put up on this platform by feminists and is cheered on in the comments. Can you imagine that happening on some MRA site? You think we have time for that bullshit?
We are dealing with men who are suicidal because their exes have denied them visitation rights to their children, who have made false accusations of domestic violence which means they face prison, we deal with men who have been raped but who cannot get justice because feminists changed the law to mean the only people who can legally rape are those with a penis.
"Patriarchy theory – the idea that men typically "dominate" women – is omnipresent, when research shows women tend to boss men interpersonally.
Texts highlight misogyny but never misandry, its anti-male equivalent – despite research finding that women verbalise four times more misandry than men do misogyny.
It turns out that telling men that they are scum who rape their own daughters might not be the best recruiting tool.
Who knew?
I was reading Cathy Young's article on this subject. I agree with her, mostly, but I think she's missing the point.
Feminists hate men.
They tolerate the ones that they call 'allies' in the same way slave owners tolerated their slaves - but they don't want to have their 'allies' allowed to share the riches of society with them.
Men are starting to wake up to it.
Do feminists need to learn to lie better to keep the men in line?
a desire to recreate a hierarchical social order where heterosexual men are privileged.
reluctance to challenge gender, seksualitet- and racial categories." https://archive.is/QZMJO http://translate.google.no/translate?sl=no&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=no&ie=UTF-8&u=http://www.nrk.no/nyheter/norge/1.10946673 30 Jun 2016 21:15:34 UTC
Men are men and women are women- we are a two sexed species, that is sexually dimorphic
I believe the best society is meritocratic- people should earn their position, rather than having it allocated by a feminist point system - with vagina worth the most points, of course!
If that means heterosexual men are 'privileged' - so be it.
I have enough fucking attitude for a planetful of MRAs
- and as for punishing people for having the wrong desires?
As for having a reluctance to challenge gender categories - will they be arresting scientists who say men are men and women are women? What about black people who want their kids to marry other black people? Oh right - these rules only apply to the 'privileged' white men?
I think Cathy's naive, but I love her to death, and I do recommend subscribing to her Twitter feed.
There's no repair for Feminism. Communism had a benign history too, but when it's retained too long, it becomes toxic.
Australian aboriginals were, and sometimes still are, communist - what you had belonged to the tribe - which is fine for tiny groups that always live on the edge of extinction.
Try and scale that up and you get the atrocities of Stalin's Russia, or the Cultural Revolution of Maoism.
The wage gap is a lifetime earnings gap, broken down by hourly pay to get the figures used when they talk about a wage gap.
Like the ".77 cents per 1 dollar a man makes".
Its a misrepresentation, distortion, and misinterpretation of the data. Women by far pick willingly social and retail jobs that naturally pay less, even for men, while men usually go into STEM jobs or dangerous labor jobs which pay a lot more and require many years in school.
There is no discrimination against women, other than grade requirements that men also face.
You cannot compare a middle aged single mother that works part time in a diner, taking more days off and sick days and paternity leave and less over time and compare her earnings in a lifetime to a man fresh out of university entering a high paying field who will take less sick vacation days and who will work more hours and overtime and cry about a wage gap.
So while the gap exists (more like lifetime earning gap), is it because you are oppressed for being women by this mysterious patriarchy who gave you everything you need and use to live and enjoy, or are most women either lazy or just don't care about money the way men do?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, single women between 22 and 30 years old earn an average of $27,000 a year. That’s 8% more than comparable men. (source)
The only chairwoman in the FTSE 100 index of biggest British companies, when asked about government efforts to force companies to make at least 25% of board member to be female said: “there’s no real evidence to suggest women being on a board makes the companies any better – what we’re doing here is forcing an experiment.”
This was further supported in the book “Why Men Earn More” by Warren Farrell, Ph.D., examined 25 career/life choices men and women make (hours, commute times, etc.) that lead to men earning more and women having more balanced lives, and that showed how men in surveys prioritize money while women prioritize flexibility, shorter hours, shorter commutes, less physical risk and other factors conducive to their choice to be primary parents, an option men still largely don’t have. That is why never-married childless women outearn their male counterparts, and female corporate directors now outearn their male counterparts.
Farrell also lists dozens of careers, including fields of science, where women outearn men. Women simply have more options than men to be primary parents, and many of them exercise that option rather than work long, stressful hours. That is why 57% of female graduates of Stanford and Harvard left the workforce within 15 years of entry into the workforce.
There is also the myth that women are kept out of certain more lucrative fields by sexism. The truth is that women stay away from math out of their own free choice
Outside of Germany, who speaks German? What is the point of an official language that only an elite can read?
Are we going back to Medieval Latin Bibles, where the common folk not only couldn't check what the priest class was saying, because only the elite learnt that language, and the comoners were forbidden from printing the sacred texts in their native tongue?
French might be spoken by some older folk in some Asian places (e.g. Vietnam), and to some degree in Africa. I suspect French speakers would still struggle with most ordinary dwellers in those countries, although they might be fine with traders. (source)
But guess what - they aren't doing much trade in the greater scheme of things. French speaking countries - apart from France - are dirt poor. (source)

China doesn't look like a significantly English speaking language - but you have to remember that the people who trade with the outside world are the ones speaking English.
I couldn't find anything on French or German speaking Chinese people. The general consensus seems to be that the business languages are English, Japanese and Korean.
Figures are for English users in mainland China only (i.e. excluding Hong Kong where English is an official language and Macau). The oft-cited figure of 300 million is for "learners."[19] [20]
"What has amused me the most about this whole situation is that this of you writing these hate comments telling me I was 'pressured' or 'bullied' into feminism are quite honestly doing worse than what you perceive my friend to have done to me."
We are used to feminists telling us we deserve genocide. Are you surprised the reaction to a declaration of feminism is a rough one? If your friend becomes a Neo-Nazi, will you be cool with that?
"You expect me to think your side is the better side to be on after all you've done is insult me?"
Don't care about what side you're on, do care about whether you examine your facts.
Hint: Feminism doesn't deal in facts, it makes stuff up and if it sounds good, it believes them. Try using facts and reason. If you find Feminism is lying about things like a wage gap, why should you trust the rest of it's claims?
" There was no fear of losing her, there was no constant pressure to do what is 'right'."
Yah, and I know religious folk who are just the same with their families until the moment comes that they reveal they are an atheist.
"What I'm honestly surprised about regarding everything that's happened in response to this video, is how much free time some people have. "
You are easily surprised, and I suspect, overly impressed. Some people can type a paragraph very quickly. You really think that proves their lives are extraordinary?
"Someone had enough time and energy to spend it on making a ten minute hate video"
Which probably generated days worth of mirth, if it's well done - take only one example
156,004 views, assume average of half fully completed = 78,002 So that's 780,000 minutes. 13,000 hours 217 days of continuous viewing.
Not bad for "ten minutes of hate". And you don't seem to have refuted any of his points. Instead, you just seem to be in denial that they exist in the first place.
" The thing is, the people arguing against this video aren't arguing about anything."
Clearly, they are, or you wouldn't be engaging with them.
"This video is not an argument for Feminism."
Which movement holds: "the personal is political"?
Full comment by her below:
(Youtube has taken to stripping out spaces and newlines in order to make comments harder to read, alas)
"I am Emma and this is my video. I am a feminist. Yes I still define myself as a feminist even after this barrage of insults and hate directed towards me(obviously there were some reasoned arguments and for those i did read them and take them into account). What has amused me the most about this whole situation is that this of you writing these hate comments telling me I was 'pressured' or 'bullied' into feminism are quite honestly doing worse than what you perceive my friend to have done to me. You expect me to think your side is the better side to be on after all you've done is insult me? For those comments telling me that I need 'new friends' and that the friend mentioned is 'terrible' I will say this. Firstly, you are judging years worth of friendship from one sentence- I lived it all I think I can judge for myself, although thank you for looking out for my wellbeing. Secondly, there was no peer pressure involved, no bullying, no threats. After the initial argument(a year ago) which made us realise we had differing opinions and the comment made(in the heat of the moment which I entirely forgave her for) we have not had a single conversation about feminism. We still remained friends for this year even though, up until this video, she was unaware I had changed my mind. There was no fear of losing her, there was no constant pressure to do what is 'right'. What I'm honestly surprised about regarding everything that's happened in response to this video, is how much free time some people have. Someone had enough time and energy to spend it on making a ten minute hate video (and that's what it was let's be real) about me, and others have spent the last few days finding me on every aspect of social media and all my friends and being rude and hurtful. The thing is, the people arguing against this video aren't arguing about anything. This video is not an argument for Feminism. It is not about why you should become a feminist. This is purely my journey into feminism. It is personal. I have kept comments and likes on because I believe you all deserve to have your opinion. Please give me the same respect. Emma.? "
I think it's hilarious that she's bitching at men who won't ... do the very things other feminists want to make illegal and describe as catcalling and harassment.
"men these days are cowards."
She calls them cowards because they don't want to risk false rape accusations that will ruin their lives, because the presumption of innocence was removed by her kind, because they won't live and die for her pleasure.
If she and her kind are going to toss out white feathers, then she's just recruiting for the MGTOWs, because I'd rather say hi to Mrs Palm and her five daughters than a moment with her. No wonder bitches like her are trying to make sexbots illegal before they are invented - she can't bear the competition.
I hope her many cats eat her face while she's still alive.
