Suzanne Harrington: Why isn’t misogyny a straightforward hate crime?

Article here. Excerpt:
'Why then isn’t misogyny a straightforward hate crime?
If an individual says on television that they wouldn’t want to shag you because you’re black / brown / Jewish / Muslim / Irish, etc, they are not just being vile, but liable for prosecution.
However, say it about a woman on the basis of her womanhood, and she’s fair game.
There are no legal repercussions for the hatred of women, unless you actually rape or kill one.'

Glad I live in the US...
... where an opinion, unpopular though it may be, can't get you arrested.
I wonder if Mizz Harrington feels the same way about women who bash men on TV, message boards, etc.?
