Page 4 | Or does this Labour Party meme display all we need to regarding about how they feel about women?

Those silly little women. Apart from the ones with penises. They’re just like us men.

The got the Cass report done, which is a start. They've finally got a commitment to stop prescribing puberty blockers to children.

And what else are they doing apart from that? Taking benefits away from women with MH problems? Helping women feed their kids? providing affordable housing? Making the NHS work?

I've put in an official complaint about that post. If more people do the same instead of just posting on MN, we might get somewhere.

Of course there's always the option of doing both.

I’ve not decided. I’d like to vote Lib Dem. But it won’t make a difference. Tbh ( and MN will hate this) I’m screwed in the middle. The Labour Party offers nothing for me general and nor do the Tories really. But I’m never ever voting labour. They don’t even need women, they think men can do a better job of being women than women. It’s a firm no from me.

The Lib Dems, unfortunately, don't know what a woman is either.

To those saying it’s just the labour party’s way of appealing to a younger audience, then why are they posting it on Facebook? What young people use Facebook?

You behave! that's exactly what Labour think women are - men in dresses. Keir has states himself that some women have penises.

It's an annoying, sexist meme... but it's just a meme. I've mostly seen it talking about various historical periods and wars.

Political parties post stuff like this to look 'down with the kids'. I wish they wouldn't, but this is no big deal. Blame society for thinking women don't have an inner voice, not Labour.

It’s not ‘just a meme’ here though is it.

It has been put on their website with sexist misogynistic text, as part of their political propaganda/ campaign.

Along with the rest of the Labour hating women news, I’d say it’s a big problem.

One example attached, there’s worse.

That is horribly sexist and whoever put it up needs firing.

But it is by no means a summing up of the Labour party in its entirety, however much you want it to be.

Labour at least used to pretend they weren't sexist.

That they no longer bother is of major importance to me and should be to all women. They need challenging on this.

Shetlands · 19/04/2024 21:04

I'm guessing the script was created by a young man - it's regressive and offensive IMO. I'm a Labour member and I don't think it represents what our party should be about. If it's supposed to be targeted at a younger audience then I imagine plenty of young, female potential voters would be insulted.
FAIL.

I don’t care that it’s from a very common meme when the meme is clearly sexist and derogatory towards women. It perpetuates the western cultural stereotype that women are incapable of higher thought and will only think about domestic trivia, children and love affairs.

Exactly. I don’t care whether it’s a popular meme - it’s unbelievably derogatory towards women and it has no place in a political party’s campaigning strategy.

We’re going to reach the point soon where someone adapts a Benny Hill video and we’ll all be expected to find it amusing.

There are more choices than Tory or Labour. I’m done with both of them. They are as bad as each other. Neither care about women or families.

It’s awful isn’t it. That we don’t, in the U.K., have a viable political party that we would trust to look after women and children.

Actually it’s not ‘awful’, it’s horrific.

Not if you want your vote to actually count there aren’t (the odd Lib Dem area aside, in England anyway).

Well women are 41% of the real world, and women’s rights matter. sadly Labour don’t seem to value women, at all.

Wrt to the stripping GPs of power to assess people’s health for work, I agree about that. It’s unworkable bollocks.

It's shite in my opinion because my first reaction was to see it as misogynist - I don't care if it's a "well known" image used in various memes, or if they're trying to be "edgy".

There's an implication that the woman is just thinking suspicious, female thoughts while the man is thinking fine, responsible thoughts.

Yes, that’s exactly how it comes across to me. Bloody awful - silly woman, thoughtful man.

If Paula Barker MP canvasses at my house I’ll ask her what her party is playing at.

Oh for God’s sake - it’s a very well-known meme format that’s been around for years and crops up on Twitter all the time. Labour using it is a bit cringy in a ‘how do you do, fellow kids?’ way, but it’s absolutely not indicative of anyone ‘hating women’.

Meanwhile in the real world Rishi Sunak has today announced plans to strip GPs of the ability to sign people off work due to mental health crises. A policy that will disproportionately affect women.

"If you want to see what someone really thinks about a topic, don't just listen to what they say about it when they are consciously thinking about it, watch also what they say when it comes up in another context. It is illuminating."
I agree with that, it's just I don't care what the social media intern thinks 🤷‍♀️
It's cringe I agree but it's not Labour party policy
Here's my favourite version of this meme:
