Don't forget to put your May flowers out. This old Irish custom involves gathering flowers on May Eve (or in some places on May day morning) and leaving them in front of the main threshold. It was believed to protect the house from harm or evil.

"Time for Scotland to follow the rest of the UK and punish violent partners who cause pregnancy loss" - a piece by our Dr Mary Neal for @ConversationUK theconversation.com/time-for-scotl…
Domestic abuse often starts/ escalates in pregnancy. It is right to punish partners whose violence causes pregnancy loss. As @maryfordneal says, “the loss of a wanted pregnancy is a unique & traumatic kind of harm to a woman, distinct from the injury suffered during an attack.”

It's become clear over the last five years that one man’s “progress” may be another woman’s step backwards. The Scottish media should not uncritically accept the Greens' claim to be pursuing a "progressive agenda", especially following the Cass Report. thenational.scot/politics/24287…
I have to figure out how to not to be the person who won the case, says Jo Phoenix, at the end of an engaging, very human talk. She’s a warrior. We owe her and every other woman who has gone through this harrowing legal process a huge debt.

This was meant to be held in the Scottish Borders but of course what would little people in small towns know about anything? Much better to go to Edinburgh to let grown ups discuss it. Garbage from BBC Scotland here.

So many people have convinced themselves they haven't been part of enabling this abuse of women because they just liked some tweets, just signed one letter, just shared some lies, just parroted some slogans, just backed one woman's abuser/ hounder over his target. 1/

THREAD Jenny's career was up-ended (as was mine) by fellow workers in the arts for defending the legitimacy of sex-based rights. This has been an ugly, ugly period in Scottish poetry/literature when too many actively enjoyed persecuting fellow writers. Now is time for a reset.

The Gender Representation on Public Boards Amendment Bill took only 2 minutes to pass Stage 2. One more stage before the unlawful definition of 'woman' is removed from the face of the Act.
It was 2009/2010 when the govt first made a commitment to single sex wards. And IMMEDIATELY as the policy was produced and published, with a frankly excellent justification of the need, it had ALREADY been corrupted with a 'trans' appendix that undermined the entire policy.
For watchers of whether the green vote will determine next FM both Alex Cole Hamilton and Douglas Ross have said they will stand as FM (as per @HolyroodSources interviews) which means that in a contested election plurality (with more than all opponents) wins as per SO 11.10.6ff

It's been really obvious too in "the gender debate". All those "I know you're right but you could just say nothing" private messages alongside the public shamings. Because people know they're complicit in harm and doing nothing, and they hate the woman who reminds them.
So people get angry with the victim because the victim is the person who makes them ashamed of their own inaction and threatens their status. This is so obvious when families and communities close ranks against women and children who make complaints. >
One of the reasons victims of abuse are blamed and sidelined is not that they're not believed but "you're not meant to talk about that. If you talk about it, I'd have to do something about it and upset everyone, or if not, I'd have to feel bad about knowing and doing nothing">
Absolutely this. As if it's not bad enough getting vilified and ostracised by ideologues, you're made to feel it's your own fault anyway for being a difficult (principled) woman who refuses to roll over.

The problem is, when you use words like far right on someone like Kate Forbes, what are you left with when you are trying articulate genuine fascism? There's nothing left, because you've labelled everyone outwith your tightly defined purity circle an actual Nazi.
To my fellow SNP supporters, I would warn you not to let the party's far-right wing, in the form of Kate Forbes, take the FM's position. Scotland is a socialist country; we do not need someone who emulates Thatcher running the country. She would truly be a disaster.
Hilarious. Side splitting. But it turns out some of the most self styled ‘progressive’ folk are the happiest seeing male sex offenders in women’s jails. And denying women the right to single sex spaces. So progressive swings or reactionary roundabouts? Women deserve better.
A reader on The Jaggy Thistle (link in my bio) has suggested a campaign slogan for Kate Forbes: "Scotland, Opportunity Knox."
@JayneOzanne We’ve thought about *all* of this. It suits you to assert differently.
I am very tired of the small group of Scots male columnists targeting Forbes for her personal stance (that she does not force on others or seek to ban) re: abortion and gay marriage, when they also back male rapists in female prisons & women being un-fuckin-definable. Eejits.
I find the inability to separate Forbes’ religion from her politics bizarre when people are happy 2 do this for others. The fact so many in SNP didn’t know her views on equal marriage etc b4 she ran last year (hence the upset) surely shows her beliefs don’t colour her politics?
Men who filmed 6000 people using bathrooms and swimming pool changing rooms jailed. But it wasn’t ’people’ was it, it was women and girls. standard.co.uk/news/crime/men…
Jo is right. If this person is a student, he's the symptom of what's been going wrong in our university, not the cause. Academic freedom flourishes where students are taught the craft of good-faith, evidence-based rebuttal of arguments and expected to engage accordingly.
I felt for him. If he has been told that GC=toxic, not taught to critique, not taught that there is riches in diversity and plurality, not taught that politics is the art of persuasion and that you can be respectful of difference - including on fundamental beliefs about the world…
@CMacIver11 @ginadavidsonlbc Or they have to lie about it… It was her brutal honesty that sent shockwaves amongst her colleagues last year.
Yes, she’s much too liberal.
NEW: Whoever leads Scotland next, it can’t be Kate Forbes My column in @thetimes thetimes.co.uk/article/2fdc8a…
Maybe she'd send the message that "lesbians don't have penises"? Or "women's rights are not a hate crime"? The problem, Kenny, is that your "progressive" FMs have ground women's rights to dust. No amount of spin will make us forget that.
NEW: Whoever leads Scotland next, it can’t be Kate Forbes My column in @thetimes thetimes.co.uk/article/2fdc8a…
@abcnews It took you less than a week to go from “stop violence against women” to “gendered violence”. It’s almost impressive. FYI “gendered violence” is just an obfuscation of “what was she wearing?”
@KennyFarq @thetimes And yet this afternoon Kate Forbes voted for the Buffer Zone Bill and Humza Yousaf did not.
