Proposed Scottish Misogyny Law

[RebelliousCow]

Humsa Yousaf says TW will be protected by the proposed Scottish Misogyny Law:

"Humza Yousaf insisted that "anyone affected" by misogyny would be covered, whatever their biological sex"

This might not be the right thread for it but Alex Massie is always worth reading:

Heads up ladies were in the news again 😃

Omg! I've been quoted in the Scottish Daily Express saying, "Scotland is not a grown up country"

😂

Well done MissScarlet!

Immortalised!

Lol I've never been tabloided before.

Apparently police call handlers have been issued with a script to use when they respond to the (literally) 000s of callers who are reporting him, under his own bonkers law, for hate crime.

It seems that when he made his "Scotland is too white" speech, and referred to the huge number of "white people", he wasn't being racist, but merely "pointing out a matter of fact".

Presumably women telling TW that they haven't magically changed sex because they are wearing a cheap nylon wig and a bit of "harlot scarlet" lippy will be accorded the same courtesy.

Someone on X suggested Scottish women identify as Muslim men (and yes it would have to be a serious endeavour) and attend his Mosque. As men.
Or non-binary 'males'.

Because who can tell?

Oooooh!

If few dozen Terven did that . . .

Lol I've made it!

Came across this disgusting post from Mr Humza Yousaf. Is this man fit to govern with statements such as this?

Dear Humza Yousaf

A disabled black woman is...disabled.
And black.
And a woman.
A man who claims to be a woman
is...a man.
Who claims to be a woman.

HTH.

Famous 🙌🏽🙌🏽🍻

I love this image someone posted in reply to the above.

Me too - except they can't spell envelope!

I'm honestly starting to wonder about his mental capacities.

Ya Dancer!

😀👌

I tip my hat to you!

A cocktail of narcissism, testosterone, arrogance and stupidity is obviously not a good thing to imbibe daily.

(You might want to stick a cherry in that Mr Y.)

He really is a numbskull isn't he? Why are the SNP so devoted to hating women and putting us and our children in terrible danger? It beggars belief. As soon as Humza is pulled up on one nonsensical thing he comes out with, he comes out with something even more stupid as an attack back.

Maybe he's born with it

Maybe it's Misogeny . . .

Well it looks like we're not going to get any misogyny laws as Westminster will block it if it includes men in the definition of women and we all know that useless will plow on regardless.
Honestly it feels like this has been the intention all along 😌

Liked this phrase

boring old factory-settings cis women

although it also made me sad. And yes, some tw, I believe, would absolutely get off on both being a victim of misogyny and reporting it as a crime. How validating.

I missed the defining of MCW and WCM, and was assuming it was Men Cosplaying as Women, and Women Cosplaying as Men!

I quite like the abbreviation, whichever meaning!

Yeah - men who claim to be women and women who claim to be men
were both a bit of a faff to type out every time, so I shortened it and went for the acronyms!
I hope it catches on.
