The SNP and the Unions don't know what a woman is.

The teaaching profession is “misogynistic” and the Scottish Government must do more to tackle the issue, a trade union leader has said. In his outgoing speech, Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) president Allan Crosbie said female teachers are being exploited in their early careers and face being driven out of the profession later in life.
He was speaking at the union’s annual general meeting in Aviemore in Inverness-shire on Thursday, saying teachers need more than “warm words” from the SNP administration. Mr Crosbie said: “Just a few months ago one deputy chief constable described violence against women and girls in the UK as having reached epidemic proportions and constituting a national emergency.
Some 27% of female teachers reported being hit or punched, compared to 13% of male teachers. And 20% of female teachers reported being kicked, compared to 8% of male teachers. While rates of verbal abuse were virtually identical for both sexes, female teachers suffered more frequently – 37% said they were verbally abused several times a week on average, compared to 18% of male teachers. And one in 20 (5%) female teachers reported experiencing sexism and misogyny from pupils, compared to 2% of male teachers. The EIS is Scotland’s largest teaching union with more than 50,000 members. Mr Crosbie’s one-year term as president is coming to an end and he will be replaced by Adam Sutcliffe.
