I wonder if this will apply to kilts?

We've all read (and in many cases, posted) about the reprehensible actions of a few idiots of the human race who insist on trying to answer "THE QUESTION" themselves. Recently, one of this site's members even posted a comment about how a woman used her cellphones' camera to take a pic up his kilt... well, Australia is about to legislate against such activities and make this behaviour a crime.

Admittedly, it's aimed at women-as-victims, rather than as the perpetrator... so it will be interesting to see if the legislation is 'gender-neutral'.

time will tell.

Well, twice in the article, AG Hulls is quoted as saying "under a person's clothing," so I'm guessing so. But the way to improve the odds is to contact your legislators once the law starts working its way through the system and make sure that they understand how it must apply universally.

It would be interesting to test that legislation when it becomes law!
In theory it should apply to both sexes, in practice - well, we'll see!

I'm amazed that anyone (man or woman) would think to do such a thing with a phone, there are some real idiots in this world.

I see it quite unlikely that this would be enforced equally.. Just like domestic violence laws..
In Maryland the law states that anyone who engages in an act of domestic violence is to be arrested.. However, when a woman hits a man, she is rarely arrested. Same will go for this type of legislation.

It was my understanding that it was also going to be a federal crime here in the states but I don't remember when or where I read that. It was a number of months ago.....

When I mentioned it in another post someone said it is up to the individual states to pass such laws so perhaps I was just confused.

Gtrman....Which county do you live in. In County Carroll, the troops will take away the first person to strike. Man or Woman. Our cops are equal opportunity arrestors. Either that, or it's an excuse to go to the 7-11 right around the corner from central booking.

Even if they do get a law, the publisher of the newspaper in this linked article is easily identifiable as a, Woman is the victim, advocate. The opening lines set the tone for the article. "Voyeurs who secretly take pictures up women's skirts or down their blouses will face a crackdown under draft uniform national laws criminalising the practice."

Arundel...

I was living with a woman once and she took to slapping me around once and DARING me to reciprocate... When the cops showed up, she admitted to assaulting me and that I had not struck her.. The cops STILL treated me like a criminal and made me leave the premises.

Oh, and in my neighborhood, there is a 7 Eleven right arond the corner from the cop shop.

10 to 1 they had fingers still wet and warm from the coffee and cookie crumbs on the button row! Were any of them in a kilt?

It simply amazes me that women, who have demanded equal rights with men and to shed the moniker of "the weaker sex" insist on holding to natural concepts of decency for themselves thus maintaining a "seperate place" in society from the men they wish to be equal with. I am by no means a shovinist, but it seems to me that the feminist movement has a few biases it needs to shed if it is truly to attain its goal (which I think is nebulous at best to most of its adherents).
