The SiReN

@GMacdonaldSNP When will politicians in this country understand that companies making money is a good thing? We should be attracting business here. These absolute clowns are the reason why independence can never be allowed to happen.

No mention that France introduced a similar scheme back 2023 to cap essential food items due to high food prices. The same policy was being considered by the UK gov. But it’s only a ‘gimmick’ because it is an SNP policy, Meanwhile, Tesco profits last year were £3.15 billion!

@heraldscotland The SNP has a much easier option available. Lower taxes. Cost fixing has an absolutely shocking historical record and will be another nail in the coffin of this country.

The SNP is proposing cost restrictions on essential groceries - Neil Mackay argues that amid widespread profiteering by supermarkets, it is the decent choice to make 👇

@theSNP If you care about people having money then lower taxes.

A re-elected SNP government will put a price cap on a basket of essential foods in large supermarkets, including basics like bread, milk and eggs, so families can afford the essentials and no one is priced out of a balanced diet. Make it #BothVotesSNP on May 7 for a government that’s on your side.

@alexmassie Why don't they just lower taxes?

Apparently price-fixing is part of the "most pro-growth manifesto in the history of the SNP". Go figure.

@CorinthianJax @beckytaylorgill Science suggests otherwise: Duffy et al. (2007); Moreno-Briseño et al. (2010); Tottenham et al. (2005); Peters & Campagnaro (1997); Crozier et al. (2019); Mathew et al. (2020); Voyer et al. (1995); Voyer et al. (2017); Nazareth et al. (2019); Yuan et al. (2019)

@beckytaylorgill Transphobes continue to hate women and think that all cs women are deeply incompetent. There's absolutely no reason for a gender divide in Darts.

Cruel and nonsensical. If this doesn’t prove to people it’s actually not about protecting women’s sport and completely about pushing trans people out of public life I don’t know what will. Men and women play against each other at the Word Championship every year.

@henderycklima @IRTerp Read these peer reviewed studies: Duffy et al. (2007); Moreno-Briseño et al. (2010); Tottenham et al. (2005); Peters & Campagnaro (1997); Crozier et al. (2019); Mathew et al. (2020); Voyer et al. (1995); Voyer et al. (2017); Nazareth et al. (2019); Yuan et al. (2019)

@IRTerp The “science” behind this doesn’t make sense to me 🤷🏼‍♂️

@Pritch_Squad @i_am_the_weenie False. Here are some examples: Duffy et al. (2007); Moreno-Briseño et al. (2010); Tottenham et al. (2005); Peters & Campagnaro (1997); Crozier et al. (2019); Mathew et al. (2020); Voyer et al. (1995); Voyer et al. (2017); Nazareth et al. (2019); Yuan et al. (2019)

@i_am_the_weenie There is none. They just want to remove us from public life

I'm sorry, but where is the biological advantage in throwing a dart at a board? Oh yeah, it's not there because, like in sports such as eSports and chess, biological advantage in darts doesn't exist. This is just purely and only the DRA taking advice from people who think they are know it alls on fairness in sports, but instead are know it alls in imported culture wars. #TransWomenAreWomen

@i_am_the_weenie Here are some examples: Duffy et al. (2007); Moreno-Briseño et al. (2010); Tottenham et al. (2005); Peters & Campagnaro (1997); Crozier et al. (2019); Mathew et al. (2020); Voyer et al. (1995); Voyer et al. (2017); Nazareth et al. (2019); Yuan et al. (2019)

@TheGobFather180 @soag_69 Here are some peer reviewed examples: Duffy et al. (2007); Moreno-Briseño et al. (2010); Tottenham et al. (2005); Peters & Campagnaro (1997); Crozier et al. (2019); Mathew et al. (2020); Voyer et al. (1995); Voyer et al. (2017); Nazareth et al. (2019); Yuan et al. (2019).

@TheGobFather180 @soag_69 Jack there are literally hundreds of peer reviewed studies demonstrating that males hold advantages over women in darts aligned skills such as throwing accuracy, eye-hand coordination & visuospatial ability. You are spreading anti-science disinformation which is frankly shameful.

Breaking News: The DRA have also decided to ban all Dutch players from the sport of darts with immediate effect. ‘The tallest nation on earth have significant genetic advantage, and as the PDC attempt to grow the game, it’s only fair to everyone else competing to ban them’.

@ln1nited @maanvis81 When you say there are no biological advantages, you are literally lying and spreading disinformation.

@maanvis81 Cool, but she wasn’t even that successful in woman’s darts, and there’s no biological benefits, the only reason it’s segregated is to give women a pathway in

Another rule that will only impact one or two people in the world and the only purpose is to please the worst type of people in the world? Of course

@soag_69 @ln1nited Here are some examples: Duffy et al. (2007); Moreno-Briseño et al. (2010); Tottenham et al. (2005); Peters & Campagnaro (1997); Crozier et al. (2019); Mathew et al. (2020); Voyer et al. (1995); Voyer et al. (2017); Nazareth et al. (2019); Yuan et al. (2019)

@ln1nited Not relevant at all. Do a tiny bit of research, there are LOADS of studies, peer reviewed studies that prove men have better hand eye coordination than women. The difference isn’t huge but even a 0.1% advantage is not fair to biological women.

@dazi180turtle Duffy et al. (2007); Moreno-Briseño et al. (2010); Tottenham et al. (2005); Peters & Campagnaro (1997); Crozier et al. (2019); Mathew et al. (2020); Voyer et al. (1995); Voyer et al. (2017); Nazareth et al. (2019); Yuan et al. (2019)

@dazi180turtle There are hundreds of peer reviewed studies demonstrating male advantages in darts aligned skills.

Since there is apparently a biological advantage in Darts through height and muscle strength (one woman the PDC hired to say this said so), I will now petition for the following measures: - Scrap the PDC circuit and restart it with 4 height divisions. - Ban Jimmy van Schie.

@arron9s @CameronYJB Absolutely false. Duffy et al. (2007); Moreno-Briseño et al. (2010); Tottenham et al. (2005); Peters & Campagnaro (1997); Crozier et al. (2019); Mathew et al. (2020); Voyer et al. (1995); Voyer et al. (2017); Nazareth et al. (2019); Yuan et al. (2019)

@arron9s Peer reviewed studies support the ban: Duffy et al. (2007); Moreno-Briseño et al. (2010); Tottenham et al. (2005); Peters & Campagnaro (1997); Crozier et al. (2019); Mathew et al. (2020); Voyer et al. (1995); Voyer et al. (2017); Nazareth et al. (2019); Yuan et al. (2019)

@D_Darts125 The science supports the ban: Duffy et al. (2007); Moreno-Briseño et al. (2010); Tottenham et al. (2005); Peters & Campagnaro (1997); Crozier et al. (2019); Mathew et al. (2020); Voyer et al. (1995); Voyer et al. (2017); Nazareth et al. (2019); Yuan et al. (2019)

Some of these comments man. "Could compete against other men now" you mean like on the Challenge Tour? Of which she won an event in 2024? How about people who have no idea about this sport and are only interested in spreading their hate shut the fuck up ❤️

@JJIdsardi The science supports this decision: Duffy et al. (2007); Moreno-Briseño et al. (2010); Tottenham et al. (2005); Peters & Campagnaro (1997); Crozier et al. (2019); Mathew et al. (2020); Voyer et al. (1995); Voyer et al. (2017); Nazareth et al. (2019); Yuan et al. (2019)

Awful. Laughable. Spineless.

@JJIdsardi Read the science: Duffy et al. (2007); Moreno-Briseño et al. (2010); Tottenham et al. (2005); Peters & Campagnaro (1997); Crozier et al. (2019); Mathew et al. (2020); Voyer et al. (1995); Voyer et al. (2017); Nazareth et al. (2019); Yuan et al. (2019)

@JJIdsardi There are literally hundreds of peer reviewed studies demonstrating differences between male and females when it comes to darts aligned skills; hand to eye coordination, spacial awareness, etc. The fact you take an anti-science position is disturbing.

This reads like a fever dream. They are aware of the main reason behind the gap between male and female performances in darts, but still post this as 'evidence'. It's utterly bizarre.
