Women have fought (and are still fighting) the single biggest land grab on their rights in my lifetime. Some have sacrificed their livelihoods and safety to combat a pernicious ideology that has infiltrated elite institutions, including government.

Women have been persecuted, harassed, smeared, roughed up and forced to take employers to court for discrimination. They’ve suffered severe detriments purely for believing what the Supreme Court has ruled to be reasonable and correct: that women are a definable biological class that has specific rights under the law to which males, however they identify, are not entitled.

Do these politicians have any shame? They sided with the persecutors, the issuers of death and rape threats, the violent men demanding access to women’s and girls’ protected spaces, including domestic abuse shelters, rape crisis centres and prison cells. Will any of them issue an apology or admit that they made a serious error in siding with well-funded activist groups lying about what the law actually said, and which had measurable, severe impact on some of society’s most vulnerable women?

As another public wave of death threats is issued against women because of the Supreme Court ruling, their silence has become deafening. I’m just one of millions of women disgusted by the lack of accountability or remorse. We will not forget.

The shamelessness is not confined to the aforementioned.
