Previously mooted then dropped, partly because it was just too hard for them to figure out what a woman was. or maybe in pique because men couldn't be included (from 2025, the recent UK supreme court decision on the definition of woman had added to the legal challenges" https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/02/scottish-ministers-drop-plans-outlaw-misogyny-conversion-practices).

Who wants to bet that Engender will be one of the groups funded under the new end vawg guff

It has been an aim for years by activists to create a misogyny bill that will be almost entirely about men with gender identities and be a new and exciting way to batter actual women into submission to said men.

Which is mostly why, like the conversion bill, it gets continually booted back into the long grass every time it staggers back.

As I understand it won’t do much - telling men oh it’s wrong won’t stop the wrong ones

Scotland has gone down the gentle parenting route across the board from education through to criminal behaviour - and making the same kind of mistakes that we see with gentle and permissive parenting

they think if everyone could just be nice to each other all would be well and if you ask nicely enough everyone will understand - and if they don’t we need to listen and understand them

what a lot are understanding is that there is no reason not to do exactly as you please and just smile nicely when you get gently told off. It’s a disaster in schools where teachers can not do anything even of they end up with broken bones

sometimes people need to be locked away. Sometimes they need their liberties infringed , they need to be tracked real time to stop them going near their ex

I'm afraid I would very strongly expect there to be about the same gentle parenting belief expressed towards women showing inconvenient boundaries to men with gender identities as there was towards Sandie Peggie not wanting to take her clothes off in front of the good doctor.

I would want to check the small print of any bill with a microscope. Several microscopes.

I'd rather they just enact a sexism bill.
