#WomenVotingWithOurFeet

Looks like some women in Edinburgh braved the cold to make a statement at Parliament this morning. Making sure all political parties know that if you can't respect our sex, then don't expect our X on election day. Hopefully this will catch on across the country and we'll see more shoes. #WomenVotingWithOurFeet

Wonderful!! Thanks for sharing.

MichelleofzeResistance · 06/04/2021 10:42

Quite.

And good for those women. The days of believing you can treat women as you like and they'll still turn up to doorstep, stuff envelopes and make the tea and do the donkey work and keep voting for you because women always obediently put everyone else and their needs first like mummy nobly feeding everyone else and making do with the scraps...?

over.

Love the clear statements, this especially

If you can't protect us
If you can't respect us
If you can't allow us to speak
Then we'll vote with our feet

Women of Scotland, I salute you.

This is brilliant, great idea.

Mugginyouleftrightandcentre · 06/04/2021 13:08

Love this!

If you don't respect my sex, then don't expect my X - damn fucking right!

CuthbertDibbleandGrubb · 06/04/2021 13:23

Hope this catches on south of the border too.

Mugginyouleftrightandcentre · 06/04/2021 13:31

Within hours this hashtag will have been noticed by David Paisley and friends and be referred to as 'a transphobic dog whistle' and an example of 'right wing bigotry' blah blah blah.

But, you know what, it's not washing anymore. They can't keep calling women 'far right bigots', they can't keep calling us all transphobes and dismissing everything we say, and still expect us to dutifully turn up and put our x in 'the right box'.

It's the same with the Owen Jones thing from the weekend, the 'YOU ARE ALL TRANSPHOBIC, HOMOPHOBIC HATEFUL BIGOTS SHUUUUUT UUUUUUUP' screaming just isn't going to work for much longer. More and more people, particularly women, are seeing this for what it really is.

Mugginyouleftrightandcentre · 06/04/2021 13:32

And yes, I really hope this catches on in England too!

PotholeHellhole · 06/04/2021 13:34

I love it. I absolutely love it

highame · 06/04/2021 13:35

Fantastic! I've got loads of shoes I was going to pass on to charity. I'll provide them with new laces and drop them off!

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 06/04/2021 14:38

Fantastic. I hope the shoes stay there until the election and shame all the people who should be working to keep us safe from those who seek to do us harm.

Sadly, it seems to me that some of our MSPs seek to do women harm.

Love the photos! I will be voting with my feet, and I'm talking to friends and family about it, too.

scalliondays · 06/04/2021 21:58

Well done those women. Currently thinking I'd rather spoil my ballot than give my vote to any of the parties on offer as none seem keen to stick up for my sex based rights.

There's a lovely compilation video up on FWS's Youtube:
