Soooo, you think that because there are incidents of sexual
harassment against women there is a need for laws to
discourage this sort of thing.

Well in case you lack the powers of perception and discernment,
ever since the sexual equality laws were passed, incidents of
sexual hostility, harassment, and forcible rape have increased
with no end in sight.  A strong correlation, indeed!

You intimate that we need more laws to stem the rising tide
of such incidents.  This is a typical liberal response - that
is, "Liberalism isn't working because we need more of it."

Sorry, such laws are not the answer.  This is already plainly
obvious beyond a shadow of a doubt.  A simpler, more effective
solution would be to revert to the legal system which was in
effect in the late '50's or so.
