The act, parliament was told, was meant to protect women from stalkers. But as soon as it came on to the statute books, it was used to stop peaceful protest.

It wont be long before violent resistance is justified. Those in power have lost sight of how to maintain democracy and freedom.

Why, in the 21st Century, do we have to use non-gender neutral descriptions for laws? I thought everyone was equal now and deserved equal protection. Would it have been so hard to say "This act will protect people from stalkers" even if it really did imply women?
