When I look back on the challenges I’ve had to overcome and am still facing, many people may be surprised to learn that it isn’t racism that has had the most negative impact on my life, but misogyny.
There is a law against racism – so there are consequences. But misogyny – the dislike of, contempt for or ingrained prejudice against women – is rife in probably almost every culture.
Even in Britain – one of the most civilised nations in the world for human rights, education and civil liberties – misogyny is not defined as a hate crime.
