Or does this Labour Party meme display all we need to regarding about how they feel about women?

#Labourlosingwomen

They just love women in the Labour Party! That’s why they’ve had so many female leaders, and yes of course having a penis means they can be women!! Actual real life ladies.

It's not that deep.

Or if it is, I now hate all women too and actively want to destroy them and here's the evidence because I shared this meme.

PS - I don't.

The women with penises? Or the other kind?

News flash: the Labour Party hates women* and chooses a crass and sexist meme to be down with the kids that they later have to delete to save the looming reputational crisis

*the ones without penises

Are the Labour Party perfect? Nope.
Are they better than this current government. You betcha!

Cringeworthy and deeply offensive.

Another Labour exercise in self sabotage. It’s as if they are determined to threaten what should be an unassailable position against the rabble currently posing as a government.

This! Im baffled that no one even vaguely thought “is this is a little sexist ?” before they put it out

Here's lifelong Labour voter @Lion400 again with another thread.

It's a really rubbish advert.

I'm still voting to get the Tories out. The GE can't come soon enough.

I don’t like it, and have commented to say so, but no I don’t think it ‘tells us all we need to know’. It’s one silly meme, not something I’ll make my political choices based on.

💯

This. And I'm so sick of Labour et al following childish social media trends for likes. Stick to the day job, be adults and tell us how you will run this country if you're given the chance. Stop pandering to the lowest common denominator.

Exactly this. Criticising Labour does not imply endorsement of the Tories.

Labour should do better. We need to keep demanding they do, rather than accept unacceptable treatment, just because they’re better than the alternative. Otherwise, there is no incentive to change and they never will. How is that a good outcome?

On the thread title glad to see majority yanbu

Tbf I can predict your posts on those threads

Excellent post.

I - for 1 - won't be letting an ill judged use of a meme transform my whole vote.

I wont be allowing it to cloud every single thing the Tory's have done the past 14 years to ruin the lives of - well everyone - except their rich mates.

That’s a really popular meme.

not everything is that deep.

I wouldn't vote Tory with a gun to my head. You're mistaking criticism of Labour for endorsement of their opposition.

We should not accept overt misogyny from Labour. How will they ever change if we do?

It is a stupid meme with an added dose of sexism. It represents the Labour Party perfectly.

Do you really mean MN, or do you just mean the specifically feminist sections of MN?

MN is a site about women by women for women. That is what makes it so great. On almost any other forum, things that impact only or mostly women are ignorede or shunted into a Feminism thread, or even worse, a Women's Chat thread.

But on MN, where women's concerns are front and centre, the topics you are flagging aren't specifically in Feminism because they are all over the site, turning up in education threads, in relationship threads, in AIBU threads, in property threads, in legal threads.

This is, if you like, small-f feminism. It's women supporting women by dealing practically with the specific instances of shit that impact women's life. When shit is hitting the fan the underlying Why this happens (women's lesser voices and lesser political, economic and cultural power, the asymetric impact of parenthood etc) is less important than the What needs to be done right now.

And of course the women who comment under one name in FWR may well have another name they use in the rest of the site, because too many nasty men consider it a sport to identity women with whom they disagree online IRL and harass them.

And then there is big-F Feminism, the social and political analysis and activism that links all that small-f shit together and aims to tackle the source it springs from. On MN, the Feminist boards tend to be more big-F feminism not because that's all MN feminists care about but because unlike male-dominated sites, on MN the small-f feminism happens under the specific topic for each problem. And right now, redefining womanhood itself, unwriting the impact of biology and patriachy and replacing it with the idea of "womanny minds" is a pretty huge social change that big F feminism needs to understand and (IMO) challenge. Even if your view is it is a good thing, there's still a load of big-F questions raised that GAFs (gender accepting feminists) need to grapple with to work out how feminism and women's supports can best accomodate male women without disadvantaging the female ones.

Exactly.
Even if it's meant to be a hilarious "joke", the fact is it's a man having serious intelligent thoughts and a woman being shallow.
After a lifetime of sexism and misogyny my tolerance for such jokes has worn thin.

I already posted this on a different thread but I like it so I'm posting it again.
