Nicola Sturgeon warns of ‘push back’ on women’s rights and misogyny ‘on the rise again’
A significant chunk of the rise caused by…uh…Nicola Sturgeon.
Ms Sturgeon has previously come under fire from women’s rights campaigners for her support for trans rights, such as allowing trans women to access women-only spaces.
That is, she’s been sharply criticized by women’s rights campaigners for insisting that men who pretend to be women can intrude on women’s spaces and everything else that belongs to women. That’s not a “right”; it’s the nullification of a right.
Discussing the relevance of the new book, Ms Sturgeon: “Having gone through many years of what felt like progress, there seems to be push back again, women’s rights are under threat, reproductive rights are under threat, there’s a lot of abuse and toxicity towards women on social media, and misogyny seems to be on the rise again.”
It does indeed, and she helped.
Ms Sturgeon added: “There are so many women that have been mischaracterised and distorted in history. I think it’s important to try to redress that and set the record straight.
“But there are probably even more women who have never been written about at all. There are not enough stories about women down the ages. The more we have the better.”
Indeed. The more stories we have about real women, women who really were or are women, the better.
It didn’t save Humza’s role as First Minister, either, to totally ignore what women such as Joanna Cherry were saying about the dangers of admitting men to all places reserved for women’s protection and privacy merely on the say-so of being women. “Shut up you bigot” is not the refrain of a women’s rights campaigner.
Given her track record (and without any clarification on her part), I’d be forced to assume that she’s still “including” trans identified males any time she uses the word “women.”
Oh well Bullsh***er Cowsh*ts to the end. Why anyone listens to her on anything beats me.
She should set up a consultancy called Style over Substance – how to appear a beacon of progress while burning everything down.
KBP, Could she compete successfully in such a crowded market place?
