They will make that threat because the perception of that person [is] as a woman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bill, according to another government spokesperson, will aim to address misogyny by working to \u201ccreate a new focus on protecting women and girls to address criminal behavior motivated purely by misogyny.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new law, according to advocates, is necessary because the recently implemented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/i-look-forward-to-being-arrested-jk-rowling-torches-scotlands-new-hate-crime-law\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hate Crimes Act<\/a> does not address crimes against women or rooted in misogyny \u2014 although it does offer protections for \u201cmarginalized groups\u201d like those who identify as transgender.<\/p>\n<p>Author J.K.
