'A hustings to discuss issues relating to women's rights ahead of the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election has been cancelled after the venue cited the group failed to "present a balanced view to the local electorate".
Women Won't Wheesht (WWW) invited candidates to a public meeting at Number 18, a venue in Rutherglen. The group have been at the forefront of protests against the Scottish Government's Gender Recognition Reform (GRR) Bill that heads to court this week and have been unapologetic about their gender critical views, however they claim they are "a women's rights organisation and are politically non-partisan".'

'The venue in Rutherglen has been accused of 'unlawful discrimination' and the women's rights group say they will be seeking legal action'

I'm hoping that is not a euphemism.

Sorry!

Why is the SNP chicken drunk?

Is this a niche postmodern version of the road-crossing joke?

Well done!

Slight derail, I've seen Women Won't Wheesht clothing on Amazon. Some sold by Radfem and more by Redbubble. Is this stuff bona fide? Will the profits go where they should go?

Moomoola · 21/09/2023 22:35

Absolutely brilliant and well done

Very glad to hear the hustings wasn't cancelled in the end, it's amazing how venues suddenly backtrack once lawyers are mentioned 🙄

Considering that picture appears to depict a druid and some of the cast of Cabaret, they're probably better outside than in politics really.

Glad to hear the hustings are going ahead. It is only a shame that so many wannabe politicians have no interest in them.

Well, that in itself is instructive.

An SNP councillor outside protesting the hustings. Doesn't seem very democratic, protesting against hustings.

She has form.

Apparently standing room only at the hustings!

There is also 5 (yes, 5) TRA protesters currently standing outside the hustings. Including what appears to be an SNP Councillor.

Just as a reminder, Katy Loudon, the SNP candidate, refused to attend this non-selective hustings to answer questions from the electorate.

Brilliant, hope it all goes well.

I believe this is reason Munroe Bergdorf forbade women from wearing pussy hats on the Women's March.

Munroe Bergdorf would like you to please keep your vaginas out of his feminism

Female bodies in feminism? Not on our watch!

Lot of men on that list. It’s a pity some of the female candidates don’t want to discuss women’s rights.

Looks like Katy Loudon has confirmed that she won't be attending.

What.a.surprise.
