Yes Kiwis are far too complacent. However it is also crawling with lawyers. If someone had the money, plenty of lawyers would be happy to argue the finer points of law. I think the real issue is that they only use that law against someone who could not hope to appeal it on the basis of the law itself being illegal. The NZ Bill of Rights Act is routinely contravened by other legislation, almost as soon as it was passed. I have heard this from NZ law makers themselves. But that law is no doubt applied very deviously. The vast majority of men would have no hope of having the resources to appeal it. In any case, when prosecutors apply that charge, no doubt it also means they are tossed out of their own home, probably have their income seriously impacted, placed under extreme stress and generally placed in a position where they have few resources to fight the charge.
However, every now and then they screw up and charge someone like a lawyer with one of these laws and that lawyer suddenly becomes motivated to address the unethical/illegal nature of that law.
But being labelled as тАЬsexist тАЬ should be seen as a badge of honour , along with тАЬracistтАЭ or any other slur on oneтАЩs character.
тАЬ IтАЩm sexist and proud тАЬ thatтАЩs what men should be saying , to take a leaf from the homosexuals book. Men must realise the feminists play dirty , the gloves are off , the fight is in the gutter already , so what does it matter what is said .
After all ,in a true democracy a person is allowed to have sexist or racist or homophobic views and to express these views whenever they want, itтАЩs called freedom of speech .
I agree with your sentiment. However I would not say тАЬ IтАЩm sexist and proud тАЬ. I would go straight to the core of it and point out how sexist the law is and how hypocritical and Orwellien it is to slur the victim of the systemic sexism with that double speak in order to cancel them. How very North Korean of them.
Has anyone appealed that Act as being unlawful? You would think it directly contravenes the NZ Bill of Rights Act.
Kiwis are far too complacent. And besides, if you challenge a law that is sexist, YOU will immediately be labelled as sexist.
