Its already illegal to fuck children. People still do that. Pot is illegal, yet you can openly ask where to get it and everyone you know probably did it once.
You are being incredibly naive if you think that illegality will do anything but make it slightly less overt.
Shit, domestic violence is completely gender neutral and yet men (like me! Hi!) get arrested for her hitting us.
You are thinking that weakly written laws will defeat tens of thousands of years of instinct to protect and listen to women (Women are Wonderful/Halo Effect two-fer combo)? You think people will even bother to enforce those laws?
You should be smarter than this man.
Pedos exist. They usually get caught and jailed.
I believe having a legal backing will enable men to speak openly and challenge the discrimination. It's less about how much it can be enforced and more about what it stands for. If a few companies end up in drawn out and expensive legal cases over it, the practice will end. This exact logic was employed against Ford when their recall strategy was to simply pay off anyone who sued over a defective vehicle. They got forced to pay a massive settlement and the practice ended the next day.
That's because of the Duluth model, something that is not a law by itself. It's simply an advisory, yet it works very well for their agenda. Why? Because their groups fight hard, using all their media assets and everything else they have to retain control. We don't fight dirty enough - that's the problem. Having that legal backing will enable us to fight on the same terms, rather than from the back foot.
I don't think it'll always work. Of course they'll still do it in some places. But the key is to make the large companies give up on their cult. A law, followed by the traditional leftist trick of putting the case in front of a friendly judge, will ensure our side wins.
In the end of the day, money talks. We have to make them fear us going after them more than fearing women's sexism claims.
Many media juggernauts are in expensive drawn out legal cases against Nick Sandmann, have they stopped losing their absolute shit at everyone they think is slightly on the Right? This isn't "just business" like everyone thinks, its weaponized morality. Ask the Church how well that worked for them for centuries of the Middle Ages (hint: pretty fucking well).
Ah, so the legality doesn't matter in the slightest if you can introduce something to twist it in your favor. Now you are getting it.
A crying girl always won in elementary school, and that hasn't changed since. Again, you are asking all men to collectively cease to give a shit about women instantly for this to work. I'm willing to listen to the argument for going Full Monke anarchy and deleting all civilization to reduce them to chattel like we are fucking Muslims, but I feel like you aren't.
And these companies are following society. No amount of money changes hands when Generic Basic Bitch MeToos someone on Facebook. Yet they did it all the same, just for clout and a little bit of attention (maybe even some petty revenge). Unless your proposition massively expands slander laws to include rumor spreading and other low end gossip, this will continue all the same as well. And this is full of extra consequences.
This is beyond corporations and laws, its a manifestation of a rot within society itself. Its pure hedonism mixed with impotent rage manifesting as misandry/misanthropy, and that won't be taken away with any law any better than the 19th Amendment made people stop drinking "for their own good."
