    The Official DOOM: Online misogyny

    Online misogyny set to be outlawed

    Government will use new Bill to crack down on abuse of women and girls on the internet

    Misogynistic abuse should be banned online, the Government believes.

    Michelle Donelan, the Culture Secretary, is understood to believe the Online Safety Bill has the power to stamp out attacks on women on the internet.

    The plans to crack down on online misogyny come as leading Tory peers including Baroness Morgan, a former culture secretary, are pushing for the law to go further to include a legally-enforced code of practice requiring social media firms to prevent online violence and abuse against women and girls.

    “Michelle completely agrees with what the peers are saying, but this is stuff that the Bill is already doing,” said a government source.

    Last year, ministers rejected calls to class misogyny as a hate crime. Instead, the Government compromised by creating a new offence of public sexual harassment in line with recommendations by the Law Commission.”

            I would suggest that people's dislike of you has nothing to do with misogyny. However if it makes you feel better then play the card whenever you want.

              I should do an inverse anger management course, used to like being angry a lot when I was younger. When you are an old fart you become a "don't give a *** about anything" person.

                The poster I targeted my post at took the bait.

                  I've reached the "don't give a crap about anything" stage of ery, but am still subject to bouts of extreme rage.
                  When the fun stops, STOP.

                    If anyone feels they've been a victim of misandry all they have to do is self-id as female and claim misogyny. Simple.
