A man killed his mother and her friends, including a three-year old girl, because he couldn’t get a girlfriend.

What’s misogyny?

Some say the mother, and the young women who wouldn’t have sex with him, must share the blame.

What’s misogyny?

The man had his gun license

granted, even tho his social media was full of violent threats against women and there’d been an allegation of assault. (And this in a country where women have had police visits over the content of their tweets.)

What’s misogyny?

@Reddit banned his account the day before the

shooting. That’s the same Reddit that’s banned every GC account. Where you can find any number of subreddits dehumanising and debasing women.

What’s misogyny?

Today on Twitter a man said it was unhelpful to go after Incels.

What’s misogyny?

@GOVUK says they’ll add Incels to

the terrorism list only AFTER a further attack, as if the link btwn VAWG/terrorism hasn’t already been identified.

What’s misogyny?

@scotgov granted the protection of hate crime legislation to men who cross-dress, but denied it to women on the basis of sex.

What’s misogyny?

@policescotland are prosecuting a woman for tweeting the image of a suffragette ribbon.

Tell me, what is misogyny?

Stonewall is campaigning to remove all sex-based protections from the statute books.

What’s misogyny?

There are women today in prison with male sex offenders,

women in hospital beds next to male sex-offenders.
That’s on Stonewall, too.
Nobody asked the women. Nobody cares what they want.

A male CEO of a rape crisis centre. Nobody cares that women don’t want it. Centres defunded if they don’t become mixed-sex. Women are SHOUTING

about it. Accused of transphobia when talking about women’s rights, women’s needs, women’s trauma, women’s lives.
This is misogyny.

The Black man saying it’s all down to White Supremacy, just a few weeks after he proposed a new definition of the word ‘woman’.
That’s misogyny.

The gay man, notorious for blocking and cancelling women, targeting lesbians, now podcasting about woman-hate with no hint of irony.
That’s misogyny.

The thin-skinned, self-regarding lawyer suggestively sliding into the DMs of a female-presenting male whose campaign to

trespass over every female boundary the lawyer enthusiastically, vociferously supports.
That’s misogyny 101.

A hatred of womanhood, online, in person, on the statute books and in our institutions.
And @scotgov and @WelshGovernment working hard to embed it in our schools.

And our media, politicians, trade unions, charities, our human rights orgs and celebrities wave it along.

If you’ve ever attacked, monstered, condemned or sought to silence a woman for speaking about her SEX-BASED RIGHTS, that’s misogyny.

Because sex matters.
