Scotland has a fairly large resistance movement against gender ideology. It's comprised mostly of women and they've adopted the suffragette colors to represent themselves.

Wasn't expecting Scotland to have a resistance movement.

I remember reading about the SNP's antics back on the old TiA sub, and wow. Their last several years of holding power have been (as far as I can tell from over here in the American peanut gallery) an utter shitshow.

They pretend to support Scottish independence to get voted in, and then just piss around with the trans stuff. Most of them are traitors and most of their voters are too fucking stupid to see it.

Didn't you know that gamergate was mostly driven by women jealous they couldn't get 5 boyfriends.

Because r/The_Cabal is trying to run the GamerGate formula on Reddit moderators, and mobilise an army of angry, bitter, violent harassers to make the lives of Reddit moderators horrible. "A cabal of feminazi /SJW Reddit moderators" is the exact way GamerGate characterised the non-bigot, non-catering-to-them cultures on Reddit. If anyone could be called a cabal, it's them: Obama_Brigade is a suspension evasion account for /u/RamBarusu (suspended for harassment connected with white supremacists); CrystalVulpine, AwwFoxes, vu1ptex, DefaultMods are all controlled by the same person (who has been permanently suspended by Reddit including being served notice by Reddit legal to not attempt to use Reddit again in any way, shape or form); ThomasJeffersonMod is a suspension evasion account for a former WatchRedditDie moderator that was suspended for trying to reverse-engineer Reddit's anti-doxxing sitewide content filters to get around them (specifically, for attempting to find ways to get around the filters that prevent harassing specific women employees of Reddit who are the subject of white supremacist / anti-Semitic harassment campaigns); and one of the few remaining not-permanently-booted-off-the-site moderators of that subreddit has spent the past however many years demanding that moderators be suspended from the site if they remove items / ban users without being instructed to do so by a court of law (no, really), and engaging in other various schemes to intimidate moderators from banning trolls, while also spending multiple hours a day harassing the admins, opening and operating Alex Jones-esque misinformation subreddits about the Covid-19 health crisis, and tirelessly trying to manufacture a veneer of respectability and "concern" for the horde of racist, misogynist, LGBTQ-misic bigots that want nothing more than to persecute and abuse and shout down others. He's also worked hard to extort people into installing moderator accounts he controls so that he has access in subreddits he shouldn't have access in, and has permitted multiple campaigns of harassment to be carried on in subreddits he "moderates" (but does not actually moderate, because moderation is a verb, and everything he goes into, he goes into to make extreme - Extreme "Free Speech"). They don't evidence any understanding that freedom of association (and freedom from association) is a necessary prerequisite of free speech, and that other people than they have a right to free speech and use of Reddit and their own cultures, without being drowned out by an automated horde of abuse dropped on them for speaking their minds. I linked you to the Wikipedia article because those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

The people who created WRD, DIC, The_Cabal and the rest of that ecosystem have every appearance of carrying on the propaganda messages of Willis Carto [SPLC entry, Wikipedia] and Liberty Lobby. Liberty Lobby is famous for pushing antisemitism and white nationalism under the guise of "America First!"; It was nominally a Conservative anti-Communist organisation (what today we'd call a PAC or a thinktank); It had two major publications: a weekly newspaper called The Spotlight, which acted as a recruiting tool across the political spectrum by being salonfahige in its language, as well as Conspiracy Against Freedom!, which - in its opening paragraph paraphrases the opening paragraph of Goebbels' Der Jude, an Der Angriff. It is an entire book about how the org lost lawsuits against the ADL and how eeevilll the ADL is. Carto contributed to the third Presidential campaign of George Wallace, and the org he made to do so he then converted into the National Youth Alliance, which became the National Alliance. He also worked with the man who wrote The Turner Diaries, and founded the infamous Institute for Historical Review, which existed to promote Holocaust Denialism. Carto's and Liberty Lobby's main point of contention was that "The right to freedom of speech is under attack in America by The Jews". That America was Declining into Censorship that America was Dying because of Jewish influence that the ADL was the manifestation in America of the Elders of Zion etc. Willis Carto repeatedly denied that he was anti-Semitic, that he was fascist, that he was following Nazi tenets and Nazi works -- instead he described himself as an adherent to the political philosophy of Thomas Jefferson.

Which name should ring a bell to anyone studying WRD and DIC and The_Cabal. ---- It's also not a secret that while WRD was in operation, it was heavily audienced by anti-semitic white nationalists.

It's like an anti-suffragetes dream. Enfranchise the women and then waste time being huffy about what color someone's scarf is. What's next? An emergency parliamentary session to decide what color of drapes don't promote rape culture.

The Scottish Parliament's presiding officer has apologised after a woman was ejected from a committee meeting for refusing to remove a scarf in suffragette colours.

The woman was asked to leave a session of the equalities committee, which was discussing proposed reforms to Scotland's gender recognition laws. Presiding Officer Alison Johnstone later said her removal was an error. She said suffrage colours were not banned from Holyrood.

The woman, who had been sitting in the public seats, tweeted a picture of her green, purple and white scarf shortly after being removed from the meeting of the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee on Tuesday morning.

Under the Twitter handle Obsolesence, she said: "I have just been asked to remove my new scarf. I refused because it’s lovely & inoffensive. "Apparently (the Scottish Parliament) believes these colours are unacceptable while several MSPs wear rainbow lanyards."

They don't explain how or why the scarf was singles out to have the woman removed.
