Gender warriors

-

The feminist virtue-signalling Olympics continues in the Scottish Parliament. Recent proposals have included using taxpayers’ cash to skew the democratic process in favour of women (gold medal to N Sturgeon for that one).

Campaigner­s call for a law to force political parties to ensure 50 per cent of candidates are female (silver medal to taxpayer-funded feminist campaignin­g groups).

Politician­s call for suffragett­es to be pardoned.while their cause was just, their methods were often reprehensi­ble.

If we retrospect­ively endorse arson, cultural vandalism, attempted murder and bombing in the pursuit of political causes, don’t be surprised if some extremists today are emboldened by such irresponsi­ble gesturing (gold medal to Ruth Davidson).

And a bronze medal goes to the SNP’S John Mason, who wonders on Facebook, “Maybe I should be replaced with a woman.”

Please, can we not have just one MSP stand up and strike a blow for the vast majority of men and women who reject the tiresome and destructiv­e obsession of the gender warriors?
