RT @CrabbySkipper: @cssbutler @christia_allard @jrclarkbf800 @Hipferd @FemaleFisherman @fishsarah @sff_uk In this industry we have 20 year olds running businesses that employ people etc. Any other sector they would be celebrated and praised for improving local economy etc. But as their business floats they are regarded as stupid for wanting to go and run such a business ! 🤦‍♀️☹️

RT @CrabbySkipper: @cssbutler @christia_allard @jrclarkbf800 @Hipferd @FemaleFisherman @fishsarah @sff_uk This is so true! Sitting doing maths on a navigation course, physics on a stability course. Everyone saying same thing at school they said we were stupid to go to fishing. Well no way is what I say .

RT @cssbutler: @christia_allard @CrabbySkipper @jrclarkbf800 @Hipferd @FemaleFisherman @fishsarah @sff_uk Well done UHI for the maritime couse and being able to obtain industry recognised ticket to help get folk on their way if they want to do it. 2/2

RT @cssbutler: @christia_allard @CrabbySkipper @jrclarkbf800 @Hipferd @FemaleFisherman @fishsarah @sff_uk Personally would love to see schools and education stop demonising fishing and support encourage folk to give it a go if they want to. Never understood the try harder or you'll end up in the fishing (or the pits if from the Midlands). 1/2

@Jack_IM9 @jrclarkbf800 @CrabbySkipper @Giveitago1 @isleseafoods @sff_uk I read the first sentence of the link you provided and the answer is on it for all to see, thank you for this: “This is a case study of a recent attempt to introduce a gender-neutral title for ombuds in new legislation”

@SkipperExpo no data on display from @seafishuk either, why is our industry not open about the number of women fishing at sea?

@CrabbySkipper @cssbutler @jrclarkbf800 @Hipferd @FemaleFisherman @fishsarah @sff_uk Let’s see the data I say https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-story/womens-global-fisheries-participation

@jrclarkbf800 @Jack_IM9 @CrabbySkipper @Giveitago1 @isleseafoods @sff_uk How best to promote young people to join the industry?
I say use a language that every pupil can understand that this is a job for them.

@cssbutler @jrclarkbf800 @CrabbySkipper @Hipferd @FemaleFisherman @fishsarah @sff_uk You say personal choice, I say gender bias.

@cssbutler @jrclarkbf800 @CrabbySkipper @Hipferd @FemaleFisherman @fishsarah @sff_uk Very good question, there is an urgent need to integrate gender into fisheries data, over to you @MairiGougeon @scotgov and @marinescotland

@jrclarkbf800 @Jack_IM9 @CrabbySkipper @Giveitago1 @isleseafoods @sff_uk I’ve no power no seek any to impose such a thing, I have an opinion and I have been sharing this one for decades.
Don’t you want more women in the industry?

@jrclarkbf800 @Jack_IM9 @CrabbySkipper @Giveitago1 @isleseafoods @sff_uk Is the fishing industry gender stereotyping unique? When other sectors have recognised it and found an easy way to address it, why our industry is so uniquely so resistant to change?

@Jack_IM9 @CrabbySkipper @Giveitago1 @isleseafoods @jrclarkbf800 @sff_uk My response was to John Clark as we were having a conversation about awards, not about safety.
I spoke to her predecessor about gender stereotype and to Elspeth Macdonald but nothing has changed yet when many other sectors have made the move decades ago.
If not now, then when?

RT @CrabbySkipper: @Giveitago1 @Jack_IM9 @christia_allard @isleseafoods @jrclarkbf800 Well said Terri. It’s also not just the fisherwomen it’s also for all our amazing female scientists working at sea helping us to keep our industry sustainable that need female fitting ppe!

@CrabbySkipper @Hipferd @cssbutler @jrclarkbf800 @FemaleFisherman @fishsarah @sff_uk I’m not asking you to get more women to solve a safety issue, I’m saying that sectors attracting all young people into an industry make it easier to progress on many issues including health and safety.

@CrabbySkipper @Giveitago1 @Jack_IM9 @isleseafoods @jrclarkbf800 Absolutely not, it’s up to @sff_uk and other fishers organisations to sort and as most of them are men, you could say it’s up to men to sort and to start by calling themselves fishers.

@FemaleFisherman @CrabbySkipper @sff_uk I just think we could do a lot more, we are decades behind other sectors on this.
If not now, then when?

@sustain321 @isleseafoods @CrabbySkipper @jrclarkbf800 Would you like to scrap words like firefighters and police officers and return to firemen and policemen instead?

@CrabbySkipper @Hipferd @cssbutler @jrclarkbf800 @FemaleFisherman @fishsarah @sff_uk Absolutely, may I suggest that more women in the industry could help tackling this issue?
