Brickbat: Mandatory Manners

The Scottish government has proposed five bills it claims would fight "misogynistic behavior." The bills would bar men from watching porn where others might see it or shouting sexually abusive language towards women on the street. They would also ban men from making inflammatory remarks about women online or having "loud, graphic sexual conversations about women in a public place." Those found guilty of violating these laws would face up to seven years in prison.

The Scots, the Welsh, the English, all going full authoritarian . Seems the former empire has lost it's balls. I think that's the point.
It looks like the fascists actually did take over Britain. It just took them 80 years longer than I thought it would.

When you have many supporters of the self-proclaimed Conservative party supporting actual, literal socialism, you've probably passed the point of no return. Things may eventually get better, but I suspect they'll get a lot worse first.
I appreciate the content; I discovered a lot of useful stuff here. Continue to provide such insightful articles. 1v1 lol
I blame women for this fascism.
It seems like most women have difficulty imagining freedom working for them.
As a American woman who watches porn on occasion and a US Army Veteran I'm offended by any type of censorship! Disgusting over reach of any government!
Reading the article it sounds like women are free to do what men are forbidden from doing. If you want to watch porn at the library all you have to do is "identify" as a woman and you're OK. And when you get done with your porn just "identify" as a man again since biological sex is transitory according to "the science".
applying the laws to both men and women doesn't fix a bad proposal

Yet, the Scottish National Party leadership cannot define what a woman is.
Can I say “men are men, women are women”?
You are literally killing children when you say that.

In the country most notable for men wearing dresses is this really a surprise?
