I do hope so. One of the unfortunate effects of this huge gender studies industry in the USA (and Canada) is that we British have a great tendency to copy things from North America, usually with a time delay of about 5 years. Which often means we are well into the swing of some fad or other just at the point its fading in North America. This process seems to take even longer in non English speaking European countries. With Spain's recent storm in a teacup, the "non consensual" kiss, revealing the same notions of Toxic masculinity, rape culture , micro-aggressions and so on, that are so familiar after a couple of decades here. One hopes we'll be equally impressionable if there is a pulling back in the USA and Canada.
Isn't it incredible? I've heard that Spain's family court system has become truly toxic for fathers. The kiss business is so astounding that I thought of writing about it but gave up because I literally don't know what I could say beyond the obvious.
Yes over the past few years Spain has passed draconian laws, starting with Domestic abuse of course. One of the problems in many European countries is the voting systems tend to produce coalition governments dependent on the support of small parties. This leverage often leads to quite niche ideas/policies/laws as the small partners are given their way. It used to be various forms of "greens" but in Spain and one or two others the feminist gender wars have come into vogue.

Sometimes a short post stating the obvious is the best thing to do.
As in KISS, Keep It Simple, Stupid!
This is for the stupid of course, not the people who write simple things for the stupid.
