Recognise the term "Foid" as sexual harassment.
The term "Foid" is used typically by very misogynistic men who have no value for women, and such language should be legally punishable.
In a time where violence against women is considered an epidemic, terms like this need to be cracked down on, and legal measures need to be taken to fix the violent rhetoric towards women at the most basic of levels, while actions like this won't fix things overnight there needs to be accountability held for hate speech such as this.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There is no list of words that are agreed to constitute sexual harassment if they are used. It is up to the courts/tribunals to determine in individual cases whether something is sexual harassment or not.
