Thank goodness for Claire! Both for her speech today and for defending Jane and Lisa. Some cowardly and craven little men have hidden behind Baroness Barker's comments to attack them tonight. They should all be ashamed. Thank you @Fox_Claire ...
So the Prof of sociology at @yorkuniversity has blocked rather than answer this and make his case. Laurie Taylor would never have been so craven. How are our institutions fallen? https://t.co/G5vmsY...
Interesting how the laudatory QTs for this - and for a speech that would, undoubtedly, now be subject to legal process were it not protected by parliamentary privilege - are all from men with a questionable record on women's rights. ...
Political parties take women for granted at their peril. #WomenAreWatching https://t.co/Zr2B2Q...
RT @SarahPedersen2: because they have nowhere else to go? Watching the discussion of the House of Lords debate on @MumsnetTowers today, I was struck once again by the fact that parties have simply turned away from highly articulate, highly ...
RT @selina_todd: I'd endorse this @LizBarkerLords. It is research funded by Research England. I applied for the funding through @UniofOxford. All above board, thanks very much. https://t.co/h6fIA0...
Maybe Liz is just cross she didn't go there... It's a massive chip even so. https://t.co/KrPgqk...
RT @janeclarejones: Let me demonstrate the art of refutation Lady Barker. @LizBarkerLords 1. We are not a 'powerful campaign.' We are a grass roots women's campaign, made up of many grass roots groups, and many individual women. ...
Good to see https://t.co/XisDJ3...
RT @Equality_FWS: Hi @TeamHISA, the equality monitoring form for the Student Association Assistant post you are currently advertising on your website asks applicants for their ‘gender’ and provides four options 1/- https://t.co/PgiMjw...
RT @MenAtWork_MC: Can anyone offer legal advice, please: The work I do with boys & young men should be sex-specific (male only) & not something I shld be forced to accept girls who (for the massively complex reasons of gender dysphoria) wish ...
RT @CforWomenUK: Thank you 2/2 @ladylilo2 @ProfRWinston @BaronessDeech @LordLucasCD @LordPhilofBrum @1SVN @Baroness_Nichol @lord_forsyth @IloraFinlay @Fox_Claire @BaronessUddin @rosaltmann @DavidTriesman @CatharineHoey @michaeldobbs 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 ...
RT @LabWomenDec: Here's @DavidTriesman in #MOMABill C'ttee Stage. Great that gov't listened to you & all the gender critical speakers today & on Mon. Plus thank you for raising the problems of the @ONS's flawed guidance on #Census2021 The ...
Irony is dead. https://t.co/zjqoDO...
Sal Brinton decided to talk about "intersex" as a reason for not using women or mother. How offensive. https://t.co/45xZOE...
.@dobbs_michael says that this has been a good day for the House of Lords and a better one for women and mothers. We concur! #MOMABill #MumsTheWord ...
It is so refreshing to hear open conversation about women using clear, direct language. The House of Lords is really making the case for a second chamber to hold gov to account here. #MOMABill #MUMSTHEWORD https://t.co/sV0tjs...
RT @JohannLamont: @LucyHunterB @janeclarejones @lnmackenzie1 Lazy and offensive. Trash and misrepresent arguments rather than considering them. Have had the privilege of reading the well researched work of @lnmackenzie1 and @mbmpolicy. Am appalled at ...
Taking Lucy at her word and sharing screenshots as this is spot on! https://t.co/uyY1qt...
Lovely to hear such impassioned defence of women and maternity in HoL today. #MUMSTHEWORD ...
RT @WomensPledge: @ForwomenScot @serialsockthief @Southsidegrrrl @susanjack6 Just to be clear, the letter was organised by ordinary women members. WP were asked to platform it on their website & be a point of contact for other women members who ...
RT @MForstater: @LordPhilofBrum talking about the ability of women to talk clearly about sex where #sexmatters @SexMattersOrg ! Talking about what happened to @RosieBoycott was disgusting and the silence from her colleagues ...
This is disgraceful. Baroness Barker is claiming that women are lying about their needs and threats to safety. Yet she is lying and smearing good women because there is no other way for her to make her case. https://t.co/WQ7CWA...
Really important https://t.co/AMYDER...
Holyrood has tried a few times recently to make women less safe: GRA reform, Hate Crime, GRPBA. It was only thanks to @JohannLamont that #sixwords protection was carried. A certain man also leaked private convos of female MSPs exposing them to abuse ...
Thread https://t.co/FY4xXi...
RT @campervanwoman: I'd like to ask my MSPs too, in advance of the Hate Crime Bill's return to Parliament. Is it hateful for me to point out that this sex offender is a man? @glasgowcathcart @patrickharvie @JamesKellyLab @JohannLamont ...
RT @Future_Cities: #moralmaze Mona Siddiqui: "I've lectured for 25yrs around the world and I've never been cancelled". (So cancel culture is fake news). We'll, I taught in China for 6 years and was never censored. Presumably, China's anti-democratic ...
RT @crit_gen: Nah, it's the taking funding from women's specialist services and handing it to orgs that support offenders (predominantly men) in the name of inclusivity that most women have a problem with. https://t.co/Dzxf6N...
That "narrative" came from employees of local shelters troubled by the national group's approach to undermining a specialist service. Accusing women who have suffered, needed or worked at services & understand need for them of "exploiting" abuse ...
We do not want women's services to be defunded and we are disgusted that anyone would try to turn the blame onto women who argue that the principle of women's services needs to be robustly defended. Euan here is clearly a troll, but the funded org ...
RT @campervanwoman: Hi, @HumzaYousaf, when your hate crime bill passes, will I risk jail for pointing out that Dr Beth Hannay here is a man. https://t.co/SuPjo8...
The definition of transphobia adopted by the party of Gov would make statements of scientific fact a hate crime. Is it any wonder we are frightened by Gov plans for the #hatecrimebill? https://t.co/QpYU9Y...
A damning assessment of the 600+ responses received in the emergency consultation. Perhaps few pieces of proposed legislation have been so unpopular since the Poll Tax. https://t.co/jCdKmQ...
In 2019, Meghan Murphy visited Scotland & warned of the lessons from Canada where the women's sector has been effectively dismantled. https://t.co/9Y8PLW...
RT @AudreySuffolk: @DuncanHenry78 @ForwomenScot This is why understanding the law relating to indirect discrimination and small group disadvantage are so important. I explain them in this blog about making policy https://t.co/dskMlL...
RT @DuncanHenry78: @ForwomenScot @AudreySuffolk I feel this because when I went to university I wanted to be with “people like me”. Gay people. Not all the time but sometimes having things for “people like you” is immensely helpful to your well-being ...
RT @Maisydot: @ForwomenScot So this Equally Safe strategy was designed with the help of Scottish Women’s Aid, RCS & Engender! Why am I not surprised in any way shape or form , they have literally betrayed all the Independent Woman’s Shelters ...
RT @AudreySuffolk: @ForwomenScot Trouble is, when you suggest inclusion isn't *always* "a good thing" people rush to assuming Jim Crow and Apartheid, rather than Southall Black Sisters, Sistah Space, RNIB, Age UK, UK Mens Sheds Assoc (or the wealth ...
Good thread on why specialist services are needed and lawful. Inclusion should mean we aim to cater for all, but not, necessarily, in same way or in same place. Blanket inclusion may actually result in greater inequality and exclusion. ...
For SNP followers https://t.co/1QWLa1...
Now updated with SNP response. TL:DR - No mention of any personal attacks except unspecified ones on the FM herself which are, apparently, the real problem. https://t.co/iQbYfz...
SNP Women's Pledge – Upholding women’s legal rights to privacy, dignity, fairness and safety.
.@CallieMac88 says attacks on @joannaccherry left women "feeling unsafe in the party as well as unable to speak out in defence of women's rights. This has had a chilling effect on a number of women.” Yet, nothing from a FM who claims to care about ...
This is report underpinning NLC decision to remove council funding from local WA. It was informed by the national "gender-based analysis of domestic violence" in the Equally Safe strategy created by government and the funded Scottish women's orgs. ...
