Cops v feminists chapter 9 billion:

[Susan] Smith, from feminist group For Women Scotland, took the Scottish Government to the Supreme Court to prove that the legal definition of ‘woman’ is biological female. You might have heard about it.

Now Police Scotland has accused her of vandalising a rainbow-coloured umbrella. They say she can either take a recorded warning or be charged with damaging the multi-hued raindrop repeller at a rally in Edinburgh last month.

The force has confirmed it is investigating a ‘complaint of an umbrella being damaged’ but has not taken a ‘final decision’ on how to proceed…

Smith was protesting outside the gender Death Star (legal name: ‘the Scottish Parliament’) on September 4 when a counter-protestor with the now infamous brolly set up a sound system and began playing loud music, presumably to drown out all those quarrelsome women.

No “presumably” about it. Of course that’s what he did it for – and it’s not the first time.

Smith and her comrades have had to endure years of derision from the Scottish establishment, all because they know a man who calls himself a woman is still a man. 

These are perfectly normal middle-class women with impressive CVs, well-established expertise, and diverse viewpoints, and yet they’ve been treated like the Waitrose wing of ISIS.

…

The impression of a police force steeped in gender ideology going after a feminist dissident on what appear to be trumped up charges could do untold damage to public confidence in policing.

Plus it’s not an impression, it’s just the reality.
