There's been a sticker....

[fatblackcatspaw]

for IWD Scottish women have been stickering and beribboning across the land - see twitter. All the way to John O Groats #womenwontwheesht

That's excellent! And what a lovely teeny blanket too.

Bobby, I could not agree more.

I think Bobby knows what a girl dog is ....

[Heart eyes]

Great! It'll stop people rubbing his poor wee nose

You tell 'em Bobby!

So amused by Christina McKelvie MSP:

On #IWD2021 thanks to the eegits who vandalised the building my office is in, I’m on sick leave so my female office manager had to report to the police & the female cleaning staff had to clean off the slurs etc. This is not feminism! I do hope the CCTV has captured images.

I'm fairly certain the female cleaning staff would have wholeheartedly agreed with the stickers

Perhaps Christine should muse on the fact that her cleaning staff are all female and what that might say about systemic sexism and sex pay gaps.

Yay!

Love it!

Are those the suffrage colours in the blanket? Very cute (and it's chilly today I'm sure Bobby appreciates it!)

That is very, very, very Woke.

"Don't be mean to me! I've got female staff!"

Is that for real, an MSP called the police over a couple of stickers & a ribbon?

Aye.

I keep looking at the picture.

Sooooo cute in its wee coat 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I'm deeply curious to know exactly which part of "Women's rights are not a hate crime" is the slur. I'm assuming this came from twitter. I'm hoping someone who's still on there will ask her to elaborate.

As an aside, I'm also curious to know where it might be possible to get such stickers.

Ah, I see there were some more stickers and posters and not just that one, but I'd still like to know where the slur is.

Come on the Edinburgh feminist massive! I suggest targeting John Knox next, he deserves it.

Slightly off topic but my 12 year old daughter and I watched the new film Moxie yesterday on Netflix to celebrate IWD. In the film the heroine makes magazines and stickers as a protest. My daughter has been horrified about women in Edinburgh (local to us) stickering. I think not because she disagrees but she's afraid of conflict and of people getting in trouble (she's very rule following).

I think the film may have changed her mind as she actually asked me if I had a stash of stickers and/or posters. I suspect her bedroom might start seeing a feminist make over now she's seen it can be cool (unlike 40 something mum's like me who are deeply not cool apparently!)

Ouffft Arabella.

Kirsty Blackman has also been targeted

My office is currently closed, though staff may be collecting mail or undertake other duties in the office, when necessary. Any vandalism or “statements” left at my office will be seen by my staff, not me. Those undertaking this kind of behaviour should consider the impact.

If you wanna disagree with me that’s not a problem. But it is absolutely not appropriate to inspire fear in my (all female) staff by targeting my office.

I will speak to my staff about this tomorrow and we will report incidents to the police where necessary.

(Two tiny stickers and a slate)

Oh, the humanity.
