Chronicling the ongoing intersectional struggle to liberate women — inclusively defined as the legacy kind and the transgenders — from The Patriarchy™, one microaggression at a time.

Brazilian AOC clone pushes legislation to criminalize misogyny, punishable by five years in prison

Every nation on God’s green earth that progressive feminism has successfully infiltrated has its own version of AOC serving in its deliberate lawmaking body.

In Brazil, that role belongs to a spicy young dish called Tabata Amaral, the pusher of pending legislation that would criminalize something called “misogyny,” potentially sending perpetrators to prison for five years, as well as serve as a vehicle for state censorship of social media — a twofer!

Stateside, the original AOC, whom the First Amendment misogynistically hamstrings, must be red with envy at the sheer ambition of such a proposal.

Via Courthouse News Service (emphasis added):

Maíra Recchia, a lawyer who chairs the Women Lawyers Commission at the São Paulo chapter of the Brazilian Bar Association, said Brazil is experiencing an “epidemic” of violence against women, marked not only by an increase in cases but also by an escalation in cruelty.

Recchia links part of that scenario to the growth of digital misogyny. She said groups that attack women on social media have turned hatred into engagement and monetization, helping normalize violence.

Recchia said the digital environment did not create gender-based violence in Brazil but gave new scale to rhetoric that minimizes attacks against women.

“The digital environment is a catalyst for real-world violence,” she said. “But the fact is that women in Brazil have always faced high levels of violence.”

The debate over misogyny has reached Congress. On Tuesday, the lower house created a working group to discuss a bill that would criminalize misogyny.

The proposal was approved by the Senate on March 24 and will have Tabata Amaral, a Brazilian Socialist Party congresswoman from São Paulo, as its rapporteur in the lower house. Amaral said she intends to bring the text to a vote in the first half of the year.

The bill defines misogyny as hatred or aversion toward women and sets a penalty of two to five years in prison. It also equates misogyny with racism, which would make the conduct nonbailable and not subject to a statute of limitations.

“Hatred or aversion towards women” being exceptionally nebulous, what actually qualifies as “misogyny”?

Whatever the socialist rapporteur and the local George Soros state prosecutor determine, clearly.

Meanwhile, imam gives halal life advice to battered wives…

Notably less concerned with throwing misogynists in prison for online hate speech are members of the diaspora Islamic clergy, who somehow forever escape any criticism from Western feminists. 

In the event that you find yourself in an abusive relationship as a pious woman, the learned imam explains to his flock, the correct thing to do is to tolerate your husband’s heavy-handed discipline.

As he advises, your only alternatives to staying and “tolerating the abuse” are either to go and be a leech on your father, who will also probably beat you, or to resort to eking out a living as a filthy prostitute that Allah surely could never love.
