Peter Rhodes on pennies, Oasis and will a new law hunt down women who hate men?
As the Government works on a new set of regulations to outlaw misogyny (men hating women), a reader asks whether, in the interests of fairness, the Bill will also ban misandry (women hating men). If not, will the anti-misogyny law in itself be misandrist?
Who knows? According to an old saying, you should studiously avoid witnessing two manufacturing processes; the first is sausage-stuffing and the second is the making of English law.
One golden legal rule applies. A new law, in order to be a good law, must create more work for lawyers than the old law. I dare say a nice little misandry clause, with a few complex sub-clauses, will keep m'learned friends in good claret for many years to come.
