I read this as interested to see what young women in Scotland had to about for instance FWS. But no mention of women's sex based rights.

Maybe the discussion is just going on on platforms they dont bother with.

And suspect this it probably true of young women in other parts of the UK.

A lack of education around healthy relationships and political systems my dc did plenty around these topics in their Scottish schools.

How did the writer end up deciding JKR is a blatant misogynist, then? Hard to take anything else she says seriously

I cant help but think maybe some (funded by politicians?!) organised this and thought best to leave this question out.

Its not that I expect all young women in Scotland would be GC, but would have thought that it is an issue that is current, even on a tabloid level of men in women's prisons.

Let alone the headlines when FWS won their Court case.

Very strange.

Seems as though it could be another bunch of be-kinders like the WEP

In a similar vein, they discussed at length the ongoing problem with online abuse in Scottish politics, directed at women in the political sphere. I think this is a problem in most places, but I am of the opinion that Scotland has a particularly sinister problem with it. It escalated massively when the Gender Recognition Bill was brought to parliament, where influential figures like JK Rowling harnessed the opportunity to spread anti-trans rhetoric that quickly unmasked itself as blatant misogyny.
