Re:6 Women Accuse Tech VC Justin Caldbeck of Sexual Assault ... by michalu on Saturday June 24, 2017 @09:31AM (#14625511)
yes but that was not the subject of the original comment - "both at work or elsewhere" ... my parents, and parents of most of my friends met in the workplace...

... there's recent legislation in Manchester, where if you talk to a woman on the street she can just accuse you of sexual harassment ... I guess we're running out of places to meet women we actually want to get to know and heading towards a world where your only 'safe' options are a lifetime porn (or sexbot) or waiting for some woman to choose you whether you like it or not ... not a nice place to be in my opinion but good luck to those aiming for it

Link to the legislation in question? (or maybe news link about it?)

"A police force has become the first in Britain to recognise misogyny as a hate crime ... It also includes ... uninvited verbal contact"

That's now classified as hate crime... while I agree with all other stuff, that little insert there makes a world of difference... it's Nottingham not Manchester, there are undergoing efforts to implement this elsewhere too
