What like rape? Because I thought you need a penis to be guilty of rape? That’s such a good idea isn’t it, not checking to see if someone’s a rapist before letting them work with kids, vunverable people!

Nor indeed the latter as male pattern criminality is violent while female pattern is property-based?

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 20/09/2018 11:06

do they mean 'sex-specific' as in, one must own a penis in order to commit this crime, or 'gender-specific' as in reflective of male pattern criminality?

Surely there can't be many minor offences that fall into the first category?
