Today in work, I told some male colleagues why #WomenWontWheesht:

I told them Scottish women have been redefined in law (but men have not);
that rape victims had to beg to be allowed the dignity of specifying the preferred sex of their FME, and were still accused of bigotry;

That women are blocked by politicians for requesting policies be based on #SexNotGender;
that carers are accused of transphobia for wanting their loved ones to receive single sex care;
that there are rapists in women's prisons right now, today, and assaults have already occurred;

That women's rights have been eroded, and that this will affect their wives, mothers, grannies, daughters;
that mixed sex facilities are known to be dangerous for women and children, but the danger has been ignored, discounted, and relabelled as "gender neutral";

That primogeniture (which benefits males) is unaffected, while women lose the very few concessions made to encourage equal representation and opportunities;
That female athletes have already lost their chance to compete, that schoolgirls are being forced to change with males,

That science shows male-bodied participants have a huge advantage in contact sport;
That if men stay silent now, they are complicit in the subjugation and abuse of women and girls;
That saying pregnant/menstruating etc "people" erodes the rights of vulnerable women;

That attacking #FGM campaigners for not being "inclusive" harms the most oppressed women and girls;
that wasting feminists' time (by pretending not to know the definition of "woman") means that sexism, misogyny and the patriarchy are allowed to proliferate;
