It's 2 years old and I think plane flights are quite cheap right now.

Perhaps the OP has been in prison for a hate crime and is catching up on his reading?

I'm not sure what the issue is?

We already have laws around hate crime.

Imagine not wanting the likes of misogyny to be covered under hate crimes.

Let's just let everyone insult everyone because 'muh freedoms'.

There's always a couple of deviant looking blokes in amongst those womens rights marches.

Playing devils advocate if you make everything a hate crime it devalues the meaning of the term.

For example having a little chuckle at a goth who is in head to toe black heavy clothes including trench coat and thigh high boots when it's 35 degrees outside and if they overhear you and report you is that worthy of a conviction for a hate crime?

And why do goths get special treatment? Why not make it a hate crime to insult any group.

As a cyclist, bring it on.

Yep and once you get her kit off she'll just be a naked tidy bird with weird makeup.

Playing devils advocate but maybe the issue is less the subject content and instead the rapidly diminishing “muh freedoms”. Maybe some might instead see this as further criminalising freedoms of speech and expression.
It’s interesting that you acknowledge such a removal of “freedoms” would be the result of all this, that’s how I read your post. Apologies if I have misrepresented you.
Genuine question from me though, what would be the legal definition of misogyny in order for it to be a hate crime?

As a "Headbanger", I am offended that Goths get special treatment.

If it’s any consolation they don’t seem to happy about it.
