This is my Not Mother's Day Not Rant

 Honesty there were so many things I wanted to rant about on Mothers Day,. Starting with the pictures of policemen knocking women to the ground and them pinning them there, while one of their colleagues was being charged with the abduction and murder of the woman they had gathered to remember.

Then there was the Hunterian Gallery Picture of the Day on their social media pages, especially chosen for mothers day apparently, and featuring a picture which used to be called 'Woman Fruit and Flowers'; now just called Fruit and Flowers due to what the curator approvingly called the masterly way in which the woman had become simply a collection of curves and circles just like the fruit and flowers. 

And then there was this gravestone which we came across on our walk at Skaill.

So birth and death dates for the woman in the grave, a scriptural quotation and then the remaining six lines are all about her father. Someone paid for that to be engraved on a stone commemorating Agnes but all she gets is a brief acknowledgement that well yes, she did actually exist, but look how much more important her father was. She never did anything  but lets's not miss a chance to point out what a great man her dad was, eh, lads? 

Is it any wonder women get cross?
