Theft Act 1968! Only for Men?

Wow I just spent 3 hours (thats 3 hours I will never ever get back) learning about the Theft Act 1968. Yes i bet your jealous!

Ok so if your not familiar with this act then it invloves 34 points which outlines 'Theft'.
There are expected things such as theft, handeling stolen goods and theft of fish!
YES I DID SAY THEFT OF FISH!!

There is a rule outling what/where you can take fish and others. It also goes into desribing the thefts of fish...actulyy i will just show you.

"(1) Subject to subparagraph (2) below, a person who unlawfully takes or destroys, or
attempts to take or destroy, any fish in water which is private property or in which there is
any private right of fishery shall on summary conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding
fifty pounds or, for an offence committed after a previous conviction of an offence under
this subparagraph, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months or to a fine not
exceeding one hundred pounds or to both.
(2) Subparagraph (1) above shall not apply to taking or destroying fish by angling in
the daytime (that is to say, in the period beginning one hour before sunrise and ending one
hour after sunset); but a person who by angling in the daytime unlawfully takes or destroys,
or attempts to take or destroy, any fish in water which is private property or in which there
is any private right of fishery shall on summary conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding
twenty pounds."


Thats another thing that bored me even more, the language used? I wasnt reading it, just words on a piece of paper! The only part i noticed was the fact they use 'he' to label, so surely this makes all there rules only for men. OK the country is getting a bit sexist but I think this is taking it a bit too far.
Dont you?

Anyways im off to work :)
Peace
