RT @VoteWithOurFeet: The group tackling "gender inequality" in Scotland don't think class is an issue. Let that sink in. So poverty, worklessness, domestic violence, the pay gap, education, homelessness - not worth considering as an effect of class ...
RT @LucyHunterB: @bencooper @ForwomenScot @EmmaRitch @helensteel12 And this is also a relevant observation about bad arguments from parts of the left that do heavy lifting for the most unattractive parts of the right. https://t.co/etPmZk...
RT @iseult: Love anything in Scots but this is a great read. Basically @rattlecans is saying us middle class liberals are aiff yer eids. True that. https://t.co/hfCVcF...
RT @ClaireShrugged: “There is no justification whatsoever for violence or threats against women holding placards or wearing t-shirts just because you don’t like the message. When you use violence against people just because you don’t like their ...
RT @yatakalam: Nice of @JoeMulhall_ to let the men decide whether they want to let women have their own toilets and sports competitions or not though. [Spoiler: nope]. Women shouldn't worry their pretty little heads about such things, as that might ...
RT @LucyHunterB: @bencooper @ForwomenScot @EmmaRitch @helensteel12 And I’ll add this too. The “gulled by the far right” narrative is way past its sell by date. Time to recognise the only thing feeding the right on this is the determination of the ...
RT @LucyHunterB: @bencooper @ForwomenScot @EmmaRitch I saw this just after I had read this piece by @helensteel12, who is one of the most remarkably brave, principled and - it turns out on meeting her - unassuming women of my generation, who can talk ...
RT @bencooper: @EmmaRitch It’s almost as if you didn’t really read the article. Transphobia is bad. Lots of things are called transphobia when they’re not, because it’s a great way to attack women’s rights. https://t.co/pDaFxn...
RT @Darcy29127813: As a working class woman Emma why do you and you're ilk not consider women like me worthy of respect or even worthy of notice. This far right rhetoric is quite ridiculous but convenient, all the women I know are working class we do ...
RT @helenstaniland: If you've spent the last few years slandering women as colonial, homophobic, transphobic, right-wing, white-supremacist bigots for wanting a space to undress and play sport away from male born people with a penis, then you are ...
Well said @helensteel12 ! Sadly we can't tell the brave and fearless OJ as he has blocked us without interaction. https://t.co/kbhyGy...
Also, we love this photo. It was taken at our first meeting when really angry people tried to shut us down but we defied them and had an amazing night. Love these women. https://t.co/2UI8Sr... https://t.co/OApTzq...
RT @MForstater: Lets play the video again! (apologies to all those in North America who can't watch it because of music copyright) https://t.co/Qo7TeI...
Using sexist language and telling other women to stop engaging in political discourse is always an argument... https://t.co/TdRLUq...
Consultations and Petitions
RT @mcgilead: Same in Canada as in Scotland. And I wouldn't have known about this except @ForwomenScot submitted an FOI request. "...no policy made in the shadows can survive in sunlight." -James Kirkup https://t.co/6e6LfT... https://t.co/BAmRUn...
RT @CUPWomensPledge: If you don't already, please do head over and support our sister campaign group @CforWomenUK Much of their work goes on behind the scenes, but their focus is on women's rights and like us they know a woman is an adult human ...
RT @_Leyanelle_: Emma has never spoke up for the women & girls impacted by losing single sex spaces, or re the misogyny, physical attacks & rights infringements that we face. She excuses this by claiming she only wants constructive dialogue. ...
RT @iseult: Finally ... it was all a huge medical conspiracy ... I can rest easy now. Take the power away from the medics. https://t.co/RN04jP...
Please sign this and read then read @iseult's powerful thread linked in her next tweet. https://t.co/wvICwm...
Trees also absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. If you decided that applied equally to humans, you would fail biology (it also suggests their understand of the climate is shaky at best). https://t.co/omzvoC...
Keep letting them know! https://t.co/qA2ivQ... https://t.co/iNWvka...
Should people paid to protect women's rights and to oppose misogyny, align with a view that says women should be excluded from conversations about our rights and safety? https://t.co/mp3bbP...
RT @Fergie_Kate: @NeilMackay @JoeMulhall_ He has it mostly right, with one glaring exception. Extremism, esp violent types, are very male. Look at that video of antifa attacking a woman. Why on earth would the conclusion of men demanding access to ...
Thank you Simon. Whatever Mulhall's expertise, this passage was a clumsy attempt to shut women out of conversations about our rights by insinuating that any concerns about sport etc is linked to physical attacks & the far right. As prison ...
Presumably, laughing at women's concerns about sexual assault, calling them "mad" and inventing an 'amusing' mental health condition is another example of Paisley's caring and empathetic Achilles' heel. https://t.co/y5dAdA...
RT @Obsolesence: Think rapists (male by law as penis owners) should have their sex accurately recorded, so they can't claim to be female? Then please sign this petition to force a Scottish Gov debate (*anyone* can sign). Deadline Mon 5th July ...
RT @soniasodha: I wrote about why we have to take extreme misogyny more seriously - and treat it as terrorism - here. https://t.co/zWmvz5...
RT @GenderDissident: Yet another clusterfuck in the trans prisoners' judgment (https://t.co/gssyD... policy is, and accepted by judge, that TW without a GRC (legally male) and TW with a GRC (legally female) should be treated differently. https://t.co ...
RT @blablafishcakes: There are 12 female prisons in the UK. If all 81 sex-offending trans-identified male inmates are transferred to the female estate, that means about seven male-bodied rapists/paedophiles per female prison.

When men’s feelings matter more than women’s safety
Hmm, perhaps some of the women on the receiving end of one of Mr P's little sessions would dispute that. Openly lying to encourage people not just to pile on, but to send personalised threats to their work place. No doubt the "caring" Mr P felt it ...
