This is how you condemn the abuse of women! Scottish politicians, take note. "the appalling hashtag #RIPJKRowling is just the latest example of hate speech directed against her and other women that Twitter and other platforms enable and implicitly ...
RT @BrittonGillian: If you stand by what you say in this tweet, why did you block @ForwomenScot for asking this perfectly polite question? Do as I say, not as I do. @StewartMcDonald https://t.co/o17RCw... https://t.co/N750it...
This has earned us a block from MP @StewartMcDonald Not sure what to say, beyond the fact that if a man pretends to abhor the abuse of women but refuses to listen to women's voices, he does not deserve their trust or their support. ...
Irony meter explodes... https://t.co/hqGfts...
I do hope this recent conversion to horror at the idea of targetting women because of thier opinions extends to women who fundamentally disagree with the SNP Gov on GRA and hate crime. Or will they still allow thier reasrchers and MPs to make really ...
During the term of the current FM, certain SNP female politicians have been subject to a disgusting torrent of abuse and threat. Ms Sturgeon has never condemned the attacks on her colleagues @JoanMcAlpine and @joannaccherry when they spoke up for ...
RT @Michex69: I totally agree misogynistic abuse is completely unacceptable however @joannaccherry the 2nd most abused MP in parliament has never gotten this level of public support from @NicolaSturgeon. https://t.co/w7Fl3A...

RT @judgejules75: @NicolaSturgeon @RhiannonV What a shame you lose the ability to type every time your own party dish out misogynistic abuse to Joanna Cherry and Joan McAlpine. I don’t remember you condemning the death threats that Joanna had to ...
This is what happens when you divest language of meaning. Two people can use exactly the same phrase, but one could find themselves on the end of Twitter ban or a hate crime report while the other is lauded. The difference? The divination of meaning ...
RT @MForstater: Lack of transparency undermines our trust in government. These are the rules for APPGs I have made a complaint to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards that @CrispinBlunt @APPGLGBT broke 27 c iii and iv on transparency ...
Meanwhile, men who have no "lived experience" of being a woman, have debated our lives and denied us rights for centuries. Women's rights were attacked at committee by STA, Stonewall, EN etc. The GRA debate was never about trans rights. It was about ...
"A community that needs to be protected from books is a community with a problem. If you want to comment on a book, you need to read it, and not rely on the rumour and gossip." As Debbie says, this is a meticulously research book about male abuse of ...
“Public funding in women’s reproductive health research is as little as 2%... The more we talk about these cancers, the better we can raise their profile and keep women informed.” 58 women a day are diagnosed with a gyny cancer. Communication about ...
RT @KatrinaWatson: Excellent thread about the absurdity of all this...hey @HumzaYousaf why you trying to make things a lot worse in Scotland? https://t.co/BIaB76...
We absoltely agree with the Fawcett on this - and their stance re including misogyny in hate crime. Compared to the funded women's sector in Scotland, this is really radical! We just wish they would always have the courage to stand firm on the fact ...
Fabulous thread. This week, in the HoC, @ElliotColburn and @CatSmithMP held up RoI as an example of the success of self ID. This is the reality. It is time our MPs started to engage with the facts, not the convenient fiction fed to them by anti-women ...
RT @AnnMSinnott: Hopefully @afneil will provide a platform for women to be heard - that would be ground-breaking! https://t.co/I6cO8D...
"if making your battered, bleeding girlfriend lick up paint isn’t a hate crime, what is?" The excellent @VictoriaPeckham on hate crime and misogyny. One for @HumzaYousaf and @EngenderScot to consider. https://t.co/ZdW1hX...
An excellent piece on the unsung heroines who have fought thus far. This hasn't been easy and we still have many battles to come. The determination and the character of the women chronicled here makes us hopeful, however. https://t.co/mWiSTZ...
