Make the word ‘Foid’ a punishable offence classified as sexual harassment.

Make the word ‘Foid’ a punishable offence classified as sexual harassment. — 10 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

‘The term "Foid" is used typically by very misogynistic men, and such language should be legally punishable.’ The rhetoric is often used by ‘incels’ who use this language online and in person. This would further help education and police powers in helping to stop this rhetoric from causing harm.

Additional details

This issue takes lives, and it’s extremely serious and personal. It would be a massive disservice to the British people not to look into the way of police handling especially online. Following on from films like ‘adolescence’ this culture has more mainstream and understood. But tell me why young women are still dying. Something needs to be done and people much cleverer than me need to do it.
