Better Together Ad 'Insulting' To Women

[Jazzy]

Scottish women have been portrayed as "daft ditherers" in an "insulting" advert by the Better Together campaign, it has been claimed.

With the referendum on independence just weeks away, both sides are pushing their case to voters.

But the No campaign has managed to upset female nationalists with its latest YouTube video.

Better Together say the dialogue was drawn from the verbatim comments of women in focus groups and doorstep canvassing.

But Kirsty Strickland, first-time mother to six-month-old Orla, said: "The Better Together referendum broadcast was an absolute embarrassment.

"It portrayed women voters as daft ditherers who don't understand the magnitude of the decision they have to make."

Women For Independence say "the implication that a No vote is the only choice a mother should be making for her children is insulting".

No more insulting than the way the majority of ads depict men.
