To recap, @Ianblackford_MP sacked @joannaccherry for the person who thought a porn-addled oddball laughing at the concept of rape was funny. Women in Scotland are angry and getting angrier. Do you, Mr Blackford, share your frontbench colleague's ...

In the "culture war" between, um, raped women supported by @jk_rowling and some angry men, @NicolaSturgeon campaign director @MhairiHunter, found the output of this account entertaining. Forgive us if we fail to see the joke. Seriously, apologise. ...

"If it is true that JK Rowling's name is being removed because she chose to speak up for raped women, and ranks their wellbeing above the demands of abusers, then it is a sad indication of the priorities of the industry and of Warner Bros." ...

RT @_Leyanelle_: Recording male rapists as female would be the same as recording white police officers assaulting a black man as black police officers. And then expecting the victim not to acknowledge racism as part of the issue in court. We live in ...

Some classic responses to the passport ruling. From let's do away with them altogether (good luck going on hols) to "I don't have a gender" (neither do many people, but we all have a sex). And Carl, I really don't think we need to see the "nutsack". ...

Oh Goody! Pink News have found an American hairdresser to tell us why a woman who lives in Scotland is wrong about Scottish Law and police procedure by making up stuff about abuse statistics. Was Seth not available? Archive link. ...

RT @legalfeminist: The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal of Elan-Cane who was seeking a passport "X" marker. Fuller analysis to follow but it seems the SC was persuaded that the interference with E-C's private life under Art 8 was justified by ...

Who could have predicted that losing the person & works which informed past success would mean the company ended up folding? This is a sad, but not unexpected, result. Rosie Kay will hopefully continue to create amazing works, but the board & ...

RT @blablafishcakes: A (from all accounts) respected and innovative dance company created by a talented woman is closed down. And all because she expressed some perfectly reasonable opinions. So - the nonbys put themselves out of a job. That'll teach ...

Watch DCC Malcolm Graham's reply to @RussellFindlay1 who raised concerns about rapists potentially self declaring themselves women. Apparently, they don't worry about sex unless it is "pertinent". Forgive us for thinking that in sexual assault a ...

I think what we've learned from @theSNP MPs today is that rape "jokes" are fine, as is retraumatising victims & "validating" the rapist. But carrots are scary, & people who leave them outside offices are public enemy number one. It's only 10 ...

So what is it? Is it physical? - well then, you can devise a test for it. Is it rooted in the psyche? - then a decent person would want proper help and analysis. Is it faith based? - fine, but Scotland is not a Theocracy & shouldn't become one. ...

We'd rather know whether you think raped women deserve the dignity of not seeing their assault being recorded as a "female crime". That's not a "culture war" it's a serious point about the tolerance of VAWG. But you have a giggle about Mr Blobby. The ...

RT @judgejules75: This is so far beyond a joke. Think about the behaviour of some male writers/directors & the lack of outrage/attempts to distance themselves from their name. To see @jk_rowling being treated like this for speaking up for women, ...
