I saw a link on facebook about a youtube video titled 'men hit back!!'

it's basically a compilation of men hitting women, and the comments is chock-full of MRAs supporting the video saying how the women "deserved it"

shouldn't this be classed as a hate crime? what if someone uploaded a compilation of white people hitting black people? that would be racist and a hate crime wouldn't it? so how come racism is taken seriously but misogyny is a big joke for MRAs to laugh at?

I don't want to make the link clickable but here it is so you can see what I mean. if you don't want to watch any of it just read the comments

This is an issue I've raised before but gender based crime is not recognised as either a hate incident or crime.

If you hit someone & they hit you back it's all fair as far as I'm concerned. It doesn't matter about your race/gender/sexuality.

Good point op it absolutely should be a hate crime.

100% misogyny should be a hate crime. It isn't because the people who rule are men and their handmaidens and like it that way.

Are you five Jake?

Oh and YANBU OP. I'm sure someone will be along shortly to tell you to pipe down though.

Some police forces have started recording violence against women as a hate crime which is hugely important - it should be totally standard and across the board imo

Isnt all violence some sort of hate crime?

Male violence towards women is somehow being lauded as acceptable in 2018. And we know why. It’s all about the male entitlement.

There’s a dangerous breed of woke dude bros in the left who are downright gleeful at the current pushback against women’s rights, and what’s terrifying is they somehow don’t think there is anything wrong with their misogynistic toxic male aggression.

The quote about the conservatives see women as private property and socialists see women as public property is bloody spot on.
