With disbelief I read today in the Sunday Times of the barracking destructive shouting at female debaters during their speeches, which took place during  a debating competition at Glasgow University.

In the audience, when two other competitors told the male students to be quiet,  they were treated to even more mysogenistic foul language.

Unbelievably, the judges remarked that the female debaters' arguments had not been affected by the disturbances.  The women concerned shared all this on Facebook and  had waves of abusive and supportive responses.

How can this be happening in the UK in 2013? Is it a Scottish thing?  A Glasgow thing?
