Scotland: Misogynists like Andrew Tate hold sway over thousands of men and boys. Male leaders like me must address that
Article here. Excerpt:
'I remember the feeling of bewilderment the first time my older sister told me how tightly she grips her keys in her pocket if she is walking alone in the dark. Bewilderment, because as men we just don’t have to think that way.
And the reason for that? It is pretty simple: men have made our communities feel far too unsafe for far too many women. As first minister of Scotland – but more importantly as a father of two girls – this is not a situation I am prepared to simply accept.
Let’s be clear, this is not a situation unique to Scotland or the UK – women and girls the world over are suffering due to the actions of men. Barely a week goes by without a distressing report in the newspapers or on our television screens about a woman being the victim of harassment, stalking, abuse, violence, rape or murder.'
