I've already rejected that premise. I reject the utter ƒuck out of the idea that we can't do better than discouraging things that are ALREADY ILLEGAL.

What if the IRL gist of the 'movement' being publicized as having monolithic, prescriptive goals, is really just a simple idea, like, "please treat women with more respect"?
