Harvie hates women is trending on Twitter

Following comments to a caller on a BBC radio show by Patrick Harvie, the leader of the Scottish Greens, it would seem that Harvie Hates Women is trending on twitter. [[https://twitter.com/ForwomenScot/status/1385282284853604356]]

I just noticed as well that he talked about the decriminalisation of abortion

Lordamighty · 30/04/2021 10:55

Well he went all out with that one, TWAW the same as black, Jewish & disabled women, what the actual fuck is wrong with these people? Racist, anti Semitic & ableist in one interview.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 30/04/2021 10:28

I see he's having a strop on twitter - apparently calling black women men doesn't make him a racist.

Why do these men always make this analogy, if they see black women like they see white women? Black women aren't a different category of female. Males aren't a category of female at all.

@ArabellaScott

Wings can be very rude and ... I think 'coruscating' has been used? He's quite a ... controversial figure on the Scottish politics scene.

I don't always agree with him but I read the blog, it's often got useful information, evidence and insights.

I NEVER thought I'd see the day when I'd agree with Wings on anything, but he seems to absolutely get the GC viewpoint and has been great at getting the message out to folk who might not otherwise be aware of what's going on.

As for PH, well the Fudmeister just can't help himself can he. He truly is one of the most objectionable wee arses in a hugely overcrowded field.

As an aside, I have had what seems like a recycle bins worth of election leaflets through my door from him and my back window is now looking directly onto a flat displaying a big sign saying "Vote Green" so it feels like I can never get away from him

Not sure about the anti-semitic, ableist or misogynist issues.

I do hope James Dreyfuss comments.

I watched that yesterday and couldn’t believe he said it! Although don’t know why I’m surprised. These TRAs always equate Transwomen to black women. How offensive can they get! They’ve been told numerous times to stop but they still do it. It’s basic misogynoir, equating us to men

I'm not Scottish so I don't really understand how Wings is not in the spirit, especially in the context of a comparison to the Daily Mail.

What am I missing?

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 29/04/2021 20:28

MNHQ have previously deleted links to Wings as "not in the spirit"...

@MidsomerMurmurs

I have no particular love for Stuart Campbell’s Wings Over Scotland website, but he uncompromisingly nails the implications of gender ideology in ways that are familiar to FWR contributors. And he has an audience and fairly high profile. I wonder if posting a link to his latest post on Patrick Harvie would lead to this being deleted, but it’s definitely worth popping over to Wings to see the light being shone on the Scottish Greens

Re Wings over Scotland and acknowledging when he's got something right, it's the equivalent of those MN posters who get a fit of the vapours at something sensible in The Daily Mail. He is spot on about Harvie.

@Cabinfever10

Well he made a right mess of that🤣

Of course he did. All politicians do when asked a direct question like that by mainstream media. The TRA belief structure does not stand up to even the most cursory examination by someone neutral.

334bu · 29/04/2021 17:37

What a a wee nyaff!

Ereshkigalangcleg · 29/04/2021 17:26

I'm seeing a lot of 'it's not just me, everyone thinks it'. Women think it! It's been this way for ages, this is nothing new, it's not just me.

Yes. Yet more gaslighting from misogynistic men.

@NiceGerbil

Fucking hell he made a hash of that

www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000v97v

Listen from 57.20 it's only a couple mins.

His audible intake of breath when he was talking about rape victims being able to request a female doc when he just didn't know what the fuck to say.

The caller was brilliant. Thank you caller! (I think she was called Mo).

Caller was great. He sounded totally put on the spot and could only keep repeating how "women" includes TWs and that he was supported by womens organisations in Scotland. I think a few eyebrows might be raised at that claim.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 29/04/2021 12:45

He was interviewed on Sky today. TWAW in the same way that black women and Jewish women are women...

Ereshkigalangcleg · 23/04/2021 19:16

said replacing "gender" with "sex" in the Forensic Services bill made no difference legally.

Strange that they all made such a big fuss about it then, really.

You beat me to it with the Twitter link. 😄

@vivariumvivariumsvivaria

Thanks, Assassinated. I'd just love to see him have his arse handed to him. Mind you, I think James Dreyfuss might have done that on twitter this afternoon. I can't link it just now - but it's worth a look at his video. Very cheering for a Friday afternoon.

This one?

He is a lying bastard and I hope he has his arse handed to him on a plate at the election.
