    Over catcalling? That seems somewhat insane though no?

    Unwanted touching or stalking or threatening and such i could see of course, but reciprocating men trying to get a womans attention (in a crappy and rude fashion) with literally death and/or permanent disfigurement and pain is a little drastic.

    We rightly abhor the insane acid attacks committed on women over some minor transgression out of some fucked sense of honor, sometimes happening in certain countries; how is this a viable position to hold just because the genders are reversed?

      The European age of mass human sacrifice in the form of witch burning (1450 to 1750) is certainly something we don’t want to bring back.

      If someone’s physical safety is under threat then this seems like a reasonable tool for self protection.

      Let’s hope someone doesn’t abuse it.

      Theres catcalling, and then theres catcalling. Someone shouting something across the street should probally be ignored if possible.

      Someone coming up behind you to tell you they are going rape you? Fire time.
