RT @Dis_Critic: @bobjcjones @rattlecans @ForwomenScot Women are putting Suffragette colours on lampposts, railings and anything that remains still. It's a way during lockdown to remain visible. I'm with you. I want everyone to know what's happening. ...

- It wasn't a vote. - How do you know the outcome of the second consultation? This is rather serious as it hasn't been published. - Is this the sort of academic rigour you talk about in the thread? https://t.co/AcTIWO...
Apparently now we have to stop talking about women's rights in order not to cause trouble for something unrelated. And all the bad things are our fault. "Scotland is unfortunate to have you around"? What the heck are you saying? ...
Slowly, for the people at the back who have no clue who we are or what we stand for, but just want to join in the general hate-fest...WE ARE NOT AN INDY GROUP. We are a women's org with members from all parties & none. We want women protected ...
Excellent statement https://t.co/03ovae...
Perhaps a definition before hate crime bill is debated. Just so we know if the party of gov really do intend to criminalise biology, women who want smears performed by females, or girls who are worried about playing contact sport against males. ...
.@scottishlabour @UKLabour We hope that you are aware that this is not legal? https://t.co/vETQW4...
Witch hunt is apt. We've seen attempts at doxxing today, along with more lies and abuse from the activists Ms Sturgeon is desperate to assuage. https://t.co/n4IQpi...

Another! We realise this is what you are saying in reply to this. It isn't logical or coherent. We never claimed to speak for all women. The tweet you are replying to asks her to condemn abuse. Why are you all so upset that abusive, toxic threats ...
Perhaps Ms Rodger can provide concrete examples. https://t.co/dOi5FZ...

We are so sorry these people are doing this to you again. @NicolaSturgeon, Marion had to go to the police last year after serious doxxing attempts by young activists, office holders in YSI. Is this acceptable? What will it take for you to speak out ...
Over the past 24 hours, we've seen individuals say "I can speak out about trans rights AND women's rights" Indeed, but they never do speak about the latter, and the definition of the former involves removing women's rights (apparently, this "benefits ...
There is a reason that totalitarian states and fundamentalists often get footholds with students. It's easy to demonise someone when you misconstrue their beliefs, then refuse to engage on the basis of your false premise. https://t.co/454Gxd...
