Why do certain countries feel like its ok to make such sexist laws?

Master Age: 40

Of course i am speaking about Scotland. Basically under their new misogyny, men can spend up to 7 years in prison for bragging in public about their sexual conquests if women in that same public place are offended by it.. This law ONLY applies to men, Only covers men. There is no law that applies to women if they do the same, which i dont care how much you deny it, they do indeed do it. Thank god i live in the US where speech is still at least somewhat protected.

Just imagine all the misunderstandings. What if a fisherman was talking about his boat? "I was inside 'er and she let out this moan that was so loud..."

  Right? As the"Suggestion" Not a law yet mind you, is written, it leaves no room for interpretation. This is from the same country that jailed someone over a youtube vid of a guy who taught his dog the nazi solute as a joke.

  Ok, well they are very sensitive to the nazi stuff so I'm not surprised about that one.
  
  Yeah, I think our founding fathers left and started a new country for those types of crazy laws. It's too bad they didn't write up a bill explaining our rights so those kinds of laws can't trample us either. 🤔

  I hope it never sees the light of day. Some of it, like harassment and the like are good parts, But the fact that it penalizes only men is my main issue with it.

  Agreed. It should be directed at people in general, not just one side.
