This is horrible. You can't hijack the memory of a murdered woman and claim to oppose male violence while celebrating people like this! https://t.co/Vpm76t...

Eh?! With the judge! https://t.co/cpEiqk...
A bit like the #HateCrimeBill. Legislating for people because of race, religion, disability or even VSC (which they couldn't even define or find examples of) is straightforward, but hate against women is really complex to deal with. Which, of course, ...
This is the sort of demonisation that gets women hurt. A rape victim who wants a female examiner? A lesbian who says she doesn't like penises? A elderly patient scared by the loud male in the next hospital bed? Ginger thinks us "TERFs", all "hate ...
Interesting. Now if @scottishlabour agree to restate the commitment to single-sex provision as defined in EqA (as they did in 2019 manifesto), this could be very interesting. https://t.co/8RiHWK...

Quite breathtaking chutzpah from the former comms director for a party who, this week, passed a legal version of the scold's bridle by blocking amendments to protect women talking about their rights in a bill from a Cab sec who refused to engage./ ...

RT @lizzbag: @KateMaltby @SistersUncut Sisters Uncut have a history of encouraging men to physically intimidate women at feminist meetings. I've been verbally abused by some of the angry men involved. They are awful. https://t.co/pxGzxx...

This is awful. https://t.co/aAgVGa...
Sisters Uncut are now using the murder of a women to line their own pockets. Travis was the person who forced Topshop to abolish female changing rooms after getting angry after being denied entry. https://t.co/b4mpw9...
