The cables were severed last month, and there's zero evidence it was done intentionally — trawlers accidentally sever cables all the time.

Also they're cables to outlying islands, not to the main island.

This is an unfortunately worded headline, not a red flag.

Men do have the same protections as women under this law.

There simply aren't any women's-only violent extremist organisations targeting men for being men.

You (and others) keep asserting that if a woman slaps a man, or gossips about a man, that's Ideologically Motivated Violent Extremism.

That's simply not the case.

Women aren't kidnapping or targeting men for terrorism purposes.

It's a law against extremism, and under that law, Misogynist Ideologically Motivated Violent Extremism Groups will be scheduled as Extremist Groups for the purposes of this law.

If and when you identify actual evidence of a "misandrist" Ideologically Motivated Violent Extremism group under the jurisdiction of this law, feel free to contact Scotland Yard.

We, however, are done here.

No, that is not my logic.

Extremism is what's being discussed in the article and in the post.

Extremism is where a group of people go to extremes in order to accomplish their social or political goals.

It's like "terrorism", but without the legal necessity of finding an entity to be a legal terrorist.

If a group of women get together to slander a man because he is a man, that is not extremism per se.

When men get together to encourage one another to put a woman in fear of her health, safety, life, property, etc. — the presumption (especially if those men are associated with known extremist movements) is that they are ideologically motivated violent extremists.

Because gossip is not extremism. It crosses into extremism when the gossipers have a knowable violent intent.

Nope. Cosby was awarded the medal & this issue was brought up with respect to him.

It's awarded entirely at the discretion of the awarding President, with no revocation process.

There is a degree called "With Distinction" which is "more venerated", but the criteria for that is also up to the awarding President.

But — if you are ever up for the medal, you can rest easy — it was also awarded to Fred Rogers, which nothing can touch.

There's two possible futures for the Republican Party — devolvement to an Anti-Government / Anti-Authority Violent Extremism terrorist movement (where they're headed now) or divorce from the Trumpism / MAGA movement (which will officially devolve into a terrorist group) and correction to a center-right moderate group forswearing Heritage foundation policies

His kids are largely uncharismatic nepos. Only Barron has a shot at this point, & that'll only be possible if he secures his inheritance (whatever's left after his father squanders it all on campaigns and fines and judgements) & then walks away from his father's ideological legacy & launches a multiple-decade campaign to make amends for those sins.

"Men might murder me in particular because I am a woman / I am feminine" is the result of society enabling institutional misogyny and misogynist Ideologically Motivated Violent Extremism.

"Women might murder me in particular because I am a man / I am butch" is a non-thing. It's not an actual phenomenon, neither in English-speaking cultures nor anywhere else. Male babies aren't killed at birth because of government policies for being male. They aren't sold into s*x trafficking.

Denial of the exietence of misogynist Ideologically Motivated Violent Extremism is itself misogynist hatespeech. It's a type studied as neosexism.

Your hypothetical isn't misandrist extremism. It's just a civil tort / criminal harassment and defamation.

For the activity to be extremism, it must have an effect of influencing public policy or putting an entire demographic in reasonable fear.

"Women might slander me in particular" is not extremism.

Got it, thanks —

I know what went wrong there, then. The report evaluation system apparently does not allow them to see metadata, only the content of the reported item. Usernames are metadata.

There's a way to report the username off the profile, and I've done that, for promoting hate. Ticket will probably be actioned today or tomorrow; they sometimes have a backlog from the weekend.

There are extant misogynist violent extremism movements.

There's a mountain of literature describing and documenting those misogynist violent extremism movements.

There are countless legal cases where law enforcement have entered evidence of the violent offender / murderer / mass murderer / serial murderer being an Ideologically Motivated Violent Extremist, radicalised by misogynistic violent extremist groups.

Misogynist Ideologically Motivated Violent Extremism kidnaps and traffics women in the s*x trade; its participants have been involved in movements that include extortion, harassment, r*pe, murder, and even the attempted overthrow of the US Government (on more than one occasion).

Including Jan 6 2021.

The person who created the_donald was a misogynist White Identity Extremist; the person whom he recruited to turn the subreddit into a 24/7 Trump rally was, prior to being recruited, a frequent visitor of Reddit's "red pill" & pickup artist forum ecosystem.

"Incel" is a multinationally recognised misogynist terrorist affiliation.

There is no such parallel with women. There was a "men have to be rejected unless they treat you right" movement that was set up on Reddit in the late 2010's which borrowed a bunch of their terminology from the incel culture, and the jury's still out as to whether they're just vicious or if they are an attempt to manufacture a parallel movement or an appearance of a parallel movement — but

They haven't been implicated in violent crimes, much less murder, much less Ideologically Motivated Violent Extremism, much less international terrorism and s*x trafficking, much less the violent overthrow of governments.

Many of them have been trained on comment corpuses from Reddit, which hosted the single largest neoNazi forum & single largest Holocaust denial forum on the Internet 2015-2020.

Not to mention the misogyny, transphobia, islamophobia, antisemitism, anti-poor, anti-homeless hatred that overran the site.

I am certain you do not wish to argue that several years ago you assaulted me at Tanglewood Forest. Several of your fellow company members have chased me and thwapped me with Amtgard -legal boffer weapons on Company Road while I was making announcements on behalf of Kingdom Officers.
