RT @lazyjoolz: @NicolaSturgeon @witchesofscotl1 @madisonmitchel1 From the woman who won’t condemn the threat of corrective rape made to Joanna Cherry. From the woman who thinks “woman” is a feeling in a man’s head. A govt which protects crass ...
RT @rattlecans: I listened to the BBC Scotland radio series about Scotland's Witch Hunting days The victims were mostly folk who stood up to bullies. The bullies then accused them of witchery for daring now to kow tow Scottish women now, will not kow ...

RT @ForwomenScot: @NicolaSturgeon @witchesofscotl1 @madisonmitchel1 Does this mean you condemn the witch hunts launched against women in your party for standing for CEDAW rights? Or are only the safely dead worthy of sympathy? ...
Witch hunts are always shrouded in the ideology of the age. They are targeted against women, just women. Awkward, mouthy, difficult. The high priests justify it: they are evil, wanton, TERF It is the same now as it ever was. But some of out MSPs are ...

RT @classicalterf: This is the answer I got today from the @scottishgreens regarding the #HateCrimeBill. Can't say it was unexpected, guess the election can't come too soon. @ForwomenScot https://t.co/iWH1S4...
Good man! https://t.co/NRWfbY...
RT @DalgetySusan: @janetpontin @JohannLamont @JoDrant @ForwomenScot I agree Janet. I keep hoping that common sense will rear it’s head and we can have an adult conversion about rights for women, girls and trans folk. Then Patrick Harvie attacks ...
Another one, @HumzaYousaf: @ShahrarAli has been accused of transphobia by members of Scot Greens because he is concerned about the unethical medical practices of profit driven operation run by a doctor found to be running an illegal clinic. Will they ...
Hibo is a brave woman who speaks out about the appalling practice of FGM & her trauma. For this, she has been branded "transphobic" because she talks of something that only affects women. @HumzaYousaf will you guarantee your #HateCrimeBill cannot ...
RT @JohannLamont: @DalgetySusan @JoDrant @ForwomenScot If we wondered if there was a problem, there are already charges of transphobia as MSPs debate the HCB. So we shall debate a bill that we fear will silence - but not protect - women and in so ...

RT @JoDrant: I think the Hate Crime Bill is having a stronger chilling effect on more women, to be honest. @ForwomenScot https://t.co/0euaUT...
RT @TJVRD: When campaigning against Section 28 in the late 80s I was told I'd do better to fundraise for therapy to cure me of same-sex attraction. Awful. But now "conversion therapy" is being redefined to include watchful waiting for gender-confused ...
RT @judgejules75: Of course, these days women in Scotland who talk about our rights are on the verge of being criminalised. Isn’t progress a wonderful thing? 🤦♀️ https://t.co/NxCiJE...
RT @ForwomenScot: He ended by saying that he would no more host a meeting in parliament for women to discuss this in a safe manner than he would for “anti-abortion” or “anti-Islam” campaigners. Disgustingly, Mr Harvie equates women seeking to uphold ...
A reminder of the behaviour of the leader of the Scottish Greens who was, again, agreeing that speeches in Parl in defence of women's rights to mark #IWD21 were "transphobic" #HateCrimeBill #WomenAreWatching #WomensRightsAreHum... #womenwontwheesht ...
RT @AUnduli: @HeatherLabour @AnasSarwar It’s quite shocking and upsetting that after hearing the outcomes of misogynistic violence that specifically affect female people your first reaction is to call those women hateful and ask to see them punished ...

Looking forward to reading it! https://t.co/gh9SHO...
RT @_freetodisagree: Thanks for the compliment @ForwomenScot and we agree - society seems to be losing the ability to disagree well. Why can’t disparate groups work together to champion free speech - something they all value? The rigid ‘us and them’ ...
RT @MarreeTweets: This is totally out of hand. Any mention of womens rights and protections are being targeted as hate. This is not progressive. Every man has at least one women in his life. You would think that love honour and respect would be hers ...
RT @JeanHatchet: Oi. @BBCNews .... when men murder people those crimes are not the crimes of women whatever those murdering men tell you. Stop this. https://t.co/KiloAA...
RT @lazyjoolz: @ForwomenScot @HumzaYousaf Looks like there will be a number of Labour women (ex)parliamentarian... joining the rest of us in jail for wrongthink. Think of the adult education classes we can have!
RT @judgejules75: This is really worrying. The absolute vitriol aimed at politicians who speak up for the protection of women’s rights is chilling. Is it any wonder many women are scared to speak up when they know they’ll be attacked by people who ...
RT @susanjack6: @ForwomenScot @HumzaYousaf Totally out of hand. Honestly, if you’re not furious, you’re not paying attention. Thank goodness for organisations like @ForwomenScot raising awareness and calling out this misogyny
RT @crit_gen: @Ross_Greer This from a party that voted NOT to allow victims of rape and sexual assault to choose a female forensic examiner seems pretty hypocritical!
RT @Obsolesence: @Ross_Greer But Ross, @scotgp let women down all the time - whipping votes against allowing victims choose the sex of their medical examiner, lack of support for sex in the #HateCrimeBill, stance on women talking about sex based ...
Here is @JohannLamont talking about women's health, the impact of MVAW, & sexism; the need for space, services; & the silencing of young women. This is what Harvie & Herbert think is "hateful": parliamentarians talking about ...
In advance of the the passage of the #HateCrimeBill, it appears that stakes are being sharpened. Not by random trolls, but political names, emboldened by @HumzaYousaf's Bill. We thought #IWD2021 speeches were about women Apparently, MSPs talking ...
Is Scotland's civil service doing it's job? "the Justice Minister has seemingly learned no lessons from previous mistakes made by his government and this will be another Bill which could result in court action before it is quite possibly binned." ...
RT @_freetodisagree: Strong stuff from @wornoutmumhack The parallels between the Hate Crime Bill and other illiberal or ill-thought-through policies (OBFA, Named Person Scheme) are strong. Surely the government should learn from past mistakes and ...
RT @McKittenCat: @HumzaYousaf Given the epidemic misogyny and sex-based crimes against women, why aren't women your priority? Why would a decent parliamentarian, a decent man, not focus on alleviating the greatest harms? What is wrong with you? And y ...
