They can show their opposition to legalisation of euthanasia right up their arses.

I'd like to see any of them see what my poor dad ahs been through in the last 12 months and give me a bloody good reason for keeping him alive in a state you wouldn't let a hamster live.

I just found this on their FB page:

"Compared to women, men tend to work longer hours, are more willing to sacrifice job security for career advancement, do more dangerous jobs, and take fewer career breaks. Women often want to devote themselves more to family life. The “Gender Pay Gap” is by and large a reflection of the natural differences between men and women, and no government action is required to address it.

We do not support gender quotas in business, education or politics and would seek to repeal legislation that already discriminates in this way.

So-called “equal pay” claims, where women claim to have been underpaid for doing different work than men are unjust. Councils should not have to dissipate their limited resources following these unjust claims. Similarly, businesses should be secure from such opportunistic attacks"

Great hey!

Saw that

There's lots about absent fathers and multiple children.

I'm not sure how they think banning abortion and sex ed will fix this ...

In a liberal democracy there’s room for all sorts of opinions, including those. I don’t agree with them but fair play to them for putting their case forward and people can choose to vote for them or not. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I hate the demonising of people for holding different political views.

krustykittens · 26/04/2021 20:51

I doubt these views are political, more religious, dressed up as political. I'll demonise anybody who wants to see half of society discriminated against.

Judyisapunkrocker · 26/04/2021 20:51

Full time parent? I’m a full time parent who works full time. But they don’t mean me do they.

Political views such as taking women's rights back to the 1940's?

Am also giggling like an idiot at the " Wee Free Church". All I can think about is Terry Pratchett's Wee Free Men.

I'll get my coat....

That all depends.

Are you married, not trans, never had an abortion or agree with abortion, use hate speech, think sex ed is vulgar.....Grin

Most importantly, are you a man? Because that seems to be the only full time working parent that counts.

Fieldoftheclothofgold · 26/04/2021 20:53

It’s just bog standard social conservatism. I’m not a fan, but it’s believable.

Feelinglow8736 · 26/04/2021 20:55

Wow! This is disturbing reading.

Fieldoftheclothofgold · 26/04/2021 20:55

Nah. They’re not dangerous. Just not your opinion (or mine). They’d have to have a majority to try to implement any of it. Hardly likely in Scotland.

Are gay men OK? It's not clear.

You don't think it's dangerous to ban sex ed, abortion and legalise hate speech?

Vile.

But as pp I respect their right to put their case forward.

I just hope no one votes for them.
