Anti-Matriarchal Activity

Anti-Matriarchal Activity is a term referring to political dissent within the Matriarchy of Kerlile. A number of acts of law regulating what is, and is not, considered Anti-Matriarchal Activity have been passed by both the Council of Kerlile and the Parliament of Kerlile.

Classes

Class I Activity

Class I Anti-Matriarchal Activity is the most serious category and includes: conspiring to end the existence of Kerlile, defacing the flag of Kerlile, and encouraging other individuals to engage in Anti-Matriarchal Activity. Those found guilty of Class I offences are often sent to prison rather than alternative education.

Class II Activity

Class II Anti-Matriarchal Activity is considered less serious, and offenders are usually sent to alternative education over prison. Offences include: publicising patriarchal sentiment, misogynistic comments aimed at a specific individual or group, and refusing to sing the national anthem at official events.

Class III Activity

Class III Anti-Matriarchal Activity is dissent against Kerlian ideology that is limited entirely to speech. Offences in this category include disrespecting the Council, expressing patriarchal sentiment, and expressing displeasure at the existence of Kerlile. This category was abolished by the Anti-Matriarchal Activity Reform Act 2020.

Class IV Activity

Class IV Anti-Matriarchal Activity covers all offences deemed as such that are not specifically listed in law. This class can be used at-will by the Council of Kerlile to convict and imprison individuals for any activity, including speech, that they disapprove of. This is by far the most controversial category.
