> there's recent legislation in Manchester, where if you talk to a woman on the street she can just accuse you of sexual harassment

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
