Hostility to men and elderly people could become hate crimes
...Last month, it was announced that a review by the Law Commission would look at whether offences driven by misogyny - dislike, contempt or ingrained prejudice against women - should be treated as hate crimes.
And now it's emerged the same review will also consider the opposite - crimes motivated by misandry - hostility towards men..
...The Law Commission - an independent body that looks regularly at laws and whether they need to be updated - began its review of hate crime following a campaign by the Labour MP Stella Creasy.
She wanted misogyny to be recognised in the same way as racial or religious hatred because of the high levels of harassment that girls and women suffer.
As for why hostility against men is being included too, Home Office Minister Baroness Williams says the government always responds to what "the public and other organisations are telling us". And it appears at least some feel misandry is an issue.
She said the government wasn't telling the Law Commission to recommend that misandry be included, but was simply asking for its view on the matter.
"It may well be that particular strand is not necessary to take forward, but we are asking them to look at it," she added..
