Coercive control legislation and the unintended consequences for healthy human relationships

The Sally Challen case in particular is worrying.

It allows the defense of coercive control to justify murder.

In essence, your female partner can kill you and afterwards get off by saying they are a victim of coercive control.

Men have been experiencing coercive control by women forever without redress: what do you think being denied access to sex, that he otherwise would have received, because a man didn't do what a woman wanted, is all about?

Threatening to claim coercive control could result in the very behavior that this legislation (supposedly) seeks to eliminate.

Will this silly season never end?

This is a great article. It seems to be British based. Am I being naive in hoping this kind of legislation is not happening in the USA?
