To think that unless the leaders in this country stand up to this sht, women and children’s rights are totally fcked?

[Absym]

Sadly Spain is providing ample evidence of why this is all a terrible idea.

Same. I just want to see the back of the current apology for a government. The last few years have felt like an endurance test. It’s exhausting.

I'm not a Labour supporter.

I am an adult, female, menopausal mother who feels the damage this Tory Party has done to the country.

Same.

Thirded.

I wonder what they'll come up with next to try and trick us silly little wimmin. Maybe free lipsticks for us. Or a pretty new hairdo.

It was never about politics. It is about women’s and children’s rights. As a mother of girls especially, I want women’s and children’s sex based rights to be protected. That’s the beginning and the end of it.

Scottish hate crime law brought in today - could see people arrested for using a transgender person's wrong pronouns. But nothing about protecting women and girls from misogyny.

More. Do we need any more warnings?? 🙈

Of course it’s about politics. It’s all about politics and stirring up culture wars and division.

Predatory and or ambitious males. Appropriating and abusing females. How anyone can enable this, is mind blowing.

No. It’s about protecting females. But you will never see that, or you don’t want to. But this is old well trodden ground by now. We’re going round in circles.

That's because Misogyny is not a Hate Crime. The Tories refused to make it one.

They really hate women.

Yep
Whether it's migrants "coming over on boats"
"Trans people taking over women"

Or whatever else is "bogeyman" of the week, fucking sick of all this trying to pit people against each other instead of sorting stuff out.

You’re on the wrong thread. @BIossomtoes @GoodAfternoonGoodEveningAndGoodnight
whatever axe you’ve got to grind with the tories. That’s not what this thread is about. Much as you are trying to make it so.

i see you have totally ignored the screen shots above. About horrific cases where males have abused females amongst other things.

But double down, you’re right there’s no way out for anyone enabling predatory males.

On the wrong thread
Who are you, the Thread Police?! 🙄😂
"That's not what this thread is about"
Er, it's a thread about the leaders of this country?;
It's right there in the title.
Are you getting this one mixed up with one about a car parking space or what you're having for your Easter dinner or something?!

I didn’t mention the Tories. I merely said culture wars are political.

I think all of the parties are shit shows. Tories have at least woken up to this being a bad idea/bad politics, while Labour etc all still haven't. And yes, it happened on the tories watch but they are now trying to improve things. I really hope someone else will wake up though as I REALLY don't want to vote for them.

What are the Tories doing to “improve things”?

Biological sex based rights are not culture wars.

Having a "minority of the day" to focus on is
As I said, if it's not immigrants, it's people who are trans lately.
Trying to get everyone blaming each other rather than look at the shit they're (the Gov) are doing or indeed not doing.

Let’s see how this goes! Thank goodness we have JKR. A woman not afraid to state facts loudly and clearly, because she’s rich enough not to worry about having her job and or reputation taken away by morons.

Thanks JKR. Let’s see what the Scottish gvt does with this. Maximum jail term for saying a trans woman is a man - 7yrs. Yes that’s right. We’re not in ‘1984’, it just feels like it.

I'm sure OP thinks that's Labour's fault too.

Not that OP addresses specific things people point out the Tories have done that harm women, apart from to say 'but Labour....'

Do you realise that JK is famously anti-Tory?

@Absym - JKR’s tweets on this are just brilliant. I am both ashamed and fearful to be a woman in Scotland and to have a daughter. People, especially women, really really need to wake up to this and what it WILL mean for women and girls. It’s a fucking time-bomb just waiting to explode.

Yes. 💯.
