That's a fine perspective. While I do think catcalling should be illegal, I don't think it should carry the same punishment. Never the less, we're still talking about workspace harassment here.

If we lose such distinctions in the workplace, then there will just be context-specific oppression in the workplace. Livelihood is a major part of life. The spirit of such principles should be in force everywhere of importance in a free society. A free, liberal society accomplishes by convincing and by choice what an oppressive society accomplishes by heavy-handed imposition and coercion. Pay attention to what you're really asking for. It may well be around long enough to be used against you.

I'm well aware of what I'm wishing for. No need to be condenseding. I certainly don't presume you and I would see eye to eye on the society I'd build.

What would happen if your tools were used against you?

I certainly don't presume you and I would see eye to eye on the society I'd build.

Do you imagine your faction would be in charge? It certainly sounds like you do. "Revolutions are often initiated by idealists, carried out by fanatics and hijacked by scoundrels." -- Thomas Carlylse

Then I would defend myself, and if I lost, that's fine, it's the cost of progress, even if I spent the rest of my life in jail.

It sounds as if you're already doing things that could land you in jail.
