>So far, two men have been arrested for public order offences and actual bodily harm in incidents classified as misogynist. //

Isn't that 'just' ABH then?

I don't get these classifications, why is it different if a person is sexually assaulted if that person is a woman, surely a sexual assault is a vile crime no matter who it is perpetrated on; why then is it important to classify it as 'hate' if it's a man raping a woman but not some other way (eg male homosexual rape, say).

Why these designations; if you useful hateful language towards me and I'm Afro-Caribbean, why is that different to if I'm Polish? Surely they're both hateful actions and in neither case should my race define how I'm treated by the police or how severe the action against me is considered to be??
