I think the 'silly women' are the ones who can't appear to distinguish trans issues with the negative impact on women's rights to safe spaces and protections in sports.

What makes you say that @WisePearlTurtle ?

WisePearlTurtle · 16/05/2024 21:52

Starmer is one of the worst politicians of the 21st century

It's called desperation.

I thought it was due to inability to hide a thread. So many seem to click on it I wonder why

I am disabled. Another Tory govt terrifies me, more disability cuts.

@daliesque I was getting ready to give you a full throttle calling me a silly woman. Thankfully, I read all your post, and have you a thanks instead 😁

PurpleBugz · 16/05/2024 21:43

I'm with you OP I can't vote labour. But I refuse to vote Tory after what they have done to our public services. I have a disabled child with no school place I want to work but can't due to my son so im now benefits scum reading regularly how lazy people like me are the problem. When I could work I worked in early years and what's happened to the sector under the tories is abominable.

I've considered spoiling my ballot rather than just not voting

No silly woman. You are only supposed to care about the tiny proportion of trans women daring to live their lives.

Certainly not the economy 😱. Women, know your place.

Blimey. Do you think Dr Cass wasted her time out of interest?

I know she got a load of abuse for the review, only gratitude here.

L1ttledrummergirl · 16/05/2024 21:37

Pmsl at the idea that tories (look around to see the devastating effect they have had on women and children- food banks anyone) are still better for women and children that Labour.

There are many many more harms done to us, rape has been practically legalised under this government, including putting rapists in female prisons and recording the crime as female, than one issue.

If you want more of this, vote Tory, but just perhaps, it's time to pull ourselves out of the gutter.

Keir is ignoring women and children you say?

So, women and children don't care about reducing NHS waiting lists, getting more teachers into schools, stabilising the economy ect?

news to me. You'll note that, by using his first name, I'm a Labour supporter.

Is this another one of those threads where the shills come in and bang on about how amazing the Conservative party are with regard to women?

Sigh.

^ This

Labour for me OP. I’m in a Tory area and live next to two of them - one who protected a known abuser, another pushed through planning on a conservation area. I’ll never vote the smarmy gits.

Victoria Smith is great isn't she.

Personally I feel Starmer is listening to women with his priorities and putting womens rights (like the right to justice and fair treatment) at the heart of what he's planning. So interested what "left wing bullshit" you were trying to call out? Or did you just want to let everyone know you are anti-Starmer?

Not much point playing chess with a pigeon. That’s how it feels trying to discuss how I feel about women’s rights, with fanatical Labour supporters. Probably how RD feels every day.

Yes it’s been allowed to creep in. Labour will fast track it no doubt.

People keep saying this. Where's the evidence?

Oh wait, there isn't any. Just assumption and interpretation.

Surely not 'creep in', but rather the direct result of 14 years of Conservative policy.

Doesn't have to be fast tracked by anyone - it's already happening.

He is the leader and will be if they get in.
Just shows that even as the opposition for 17 years he still cant say the right things

Neither Labour or Keir Starmer have been in opposition for 17 years.

Not so many women will be happy with a man giving them intimate examinations, sharing a ward, a bathroom, toilets, men doing intimate police searches etc. No not many women will like that at all

That's happening now, under a tory government 🤔 😳

I was assaulted by a man in a hospital ward (in Italy). In the middle of the night when I’d been asleep . We were sharing a room. Labour are enabling that.

You didn’t answer how you were able to list the things you want to keep

It was due to women speaking up. Something a few posters rally against.

Show quote history

Yes. You are right.
Women like Maya Forstater, Kathleen Stock, JKR and now Hilary Cass have been instrumental in protecting women's sex based rights.

The Conservative party however have done nothing apart from parasitise feminists. It baffles me why so many posters are so obsessed with trying to make this an anti left-wing issue. its just very obviously not. But I guess Lee Anderson did say that picking fights over "culture wars" was the only option the Tories had.

There are a lot of women who will be very pleased to hear about better availability of hospital appointments, more police and more teachers.
