Extreme misogyny will be treated as a form of extremism under new government plans, the Home Office has said.

Yvette Cooper, the home secretary, has ordered a review of the UK’s counter-extremism strategy to determine how best to tackle threats posed by harmful ideologies.

The analysis will look at hatred of women as one of the ideological trends that the government says is gaining traction.

Ms Cooper said there has been a rise in extremism “both online and on our streets” that “frays the very fabric of our communities and our democracy”.

    Since you’ve basically retracted your entire post piece by piece now, I’m just going to go away.

      Now that you’ve been able to call a random person suggesting that the entire UK population does not hate trans people a bigot, I’m sure you can go away satisfied.
