Considering the constant reminders about your disability, you obviously have access to, and probably membership of, many varied sites relating to the online abuse of the disabled and hate crimes in general.
I'm simply questioning why you think the information you seek regarding the misogyny question would get you a better answer here than any of those other sites.

The problem here is that you are erroneously treating your assumptions as correct.
As I have previously explained, it's to let people know of the limitations that disability causes to enable them to take a holistic approach when dealing with the disabled.

That's the term for the male equivalent, yes. I couldn't think of it at the time- thank you.
Only misogyny was mentioned, but to not also include misandry would be as ridiculous as saying that racism only applies to people of colour and sexism only applies to women.

Lets try and stick to the subject.

Upon hearing this, my thinking was that if misogyny and/or misandry do end up becoming classed as hate crimes, it would be highly unlikely that they wouldn't be included in the legislation currently being considered in order to deal with the trolling of people based on their gender.
Since nobody here appears to have heard anything about this, i'll ask my contact at Ofcom when I feel a little better.
