> What are you doing to counter the blatant misandry in current harassment laws?

What misandry in current harassment laws? Please cite the specific laws containing misandry, and identify the specific source of the misandry in the law.



There are so many, I don't have the energy to type millions of words, so here is but one link: http://www.lawlink.com/research/caselevel3/74059


Wait, you are arguing the fact that California's criminal statutory rape law has a conclusive presumption that a sexual act but someone under 18 is not voluntary while it's child support laws do not and let that be a question of fact for a court to resolve is "misandry in the harassment laws", and use as your strongest evidence a case where an adult woman was convicted of a felony for what was legally established in the subsequent support case to be, in fact, mutually voluntary intecourse?

There's certainly an inconsistency between two laws there, but it's hard to see that as an example of misandry, and, since neither of the laws involved is a harassment law, harder to see it as misandry in the harassment laws.


You don't think false rape accusations and convictions are an extreme case of harassment?
