There's a stench of misogyny in political circles and not only in Holyrood !

The dictionary definition of Misogyny is;

 "A Hatred of, aversion to, or prejudice against women"

Why in the 21st century is there still an old fashioned male attitude that women have their place in domesticity and nowhere else !

Tell that to Angela Merkel, Christine Lagarde, Kamala Harris and Jacinda Ardern if you dare !

Democratic countries where human rights are respected and where women are able to reach top positions in society are also the countries that are the best-equipped to handle crises by Covid-19. 

I deliberately include Scotland in this category since, under the leadership of Nicola Sturgeon (who by the way appears at No 59 on the Forbes 200 list of the worlds most influential and powerful women) the country has progressed better than our neighbour under her aegis with dealing with the pandemic and the vagaries of access to PPE initially, since it/they (the contracts) were being dished out amongst the Tory Party faithful. 

No other woman in the United (?) Kingdom Government appears on the Forbes List of the world's most influential and powerful women.  

Could it be that Boris Johnson has a misogynistic attitude towards women since the only one of any importance in his cabinet is the previously fired/sacked  Priti Patel?  His past life with those of the opposite gender is chequered to say the least, but enough of him!

In Scotland we too have had a dominant former First Minister who, were it not for (by his own admission) his not being a Saint, would have been as important to the Scots as it is possible to be without actually fighting a war against England! This weakness on his part led to his downfall whether he likes to admit it or not. 

His downfall led to our having a female First Minister who is head and shoulders above her counterparts in the UK and that includes the feelings of our neighbours in England.  Why then is there a metaphoric witch hunt for the most capable political leader of our (and previous) generations?

It is precisely this popularity and confidence by the vast majority of people in her ability and honesty (anathema in politics) that has set the machinations of Westminster and their lackeys north of the border to combine to try and chop her down. The muppets purporting to be the Scottish Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrats parties, really are pathetic and I don't say that lightly.  It is embarrassing that these puppets of Westminster actually get paid for their pathetic attempts at political posturing.

THE FACT REMAINS THAT WOMEN ARE MUCH BETTER AT RUNNING THE BUSINESS OF GOVERNMENT THAN MEN !!  (EXCEPT PRITI PATEL & ARCH SCOTS CLOWN RUTH DAVIDSON)
