Where... are you seeing "kill all men" discourse in Canada?

I don't know that I agree that social definitions always have to match legal definitions.

Legal systems tend to be conservative and it's social progressive groups that push the public consciousness enough to eventually shift the legal system.

Until 1983, marital rape wasn't legally considered rape in Canada. The social understanding that you could rape a spouse needed to exist before the laws could follow.

I agree that it's nuanced and people need to be educated on the difference between legal definitions and social definitions, but I don't think what you're proposing is the only way.
