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.

Yes one of those threads.

Apparently every problem women face today is nothing to do with the government who have been in power for the last 14 years.

I really, really hope so, but I live in South Norfolk and the Tory vote is very much alive and kicking here. I think generally people just don’t dare to admit they’d vote for them anymore, but they still do. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Local election results two weeks ago gave us a lot of evidence that the Conservatives have serious electoral problems.

Maybe South Norfolk will cling on, but look at, for example, the West Midlands or North Yorkshire mayoral results.

Well the Tory Education minister seems very keen to endanger children and young girls by banning primary (age appropriate) sex education. She also confirms that TWAW (if that is something that bothers you).

My local Labour MP is great, she’s very sensible on gender ideology and protective of women’s rights.

I feel passionately about this subject, and Labour will be getting my vote for sure.

It’s actually the Tories that have really dropped the ball on women’s rights and children’s rights. Education and Health have been woefully neglected for years which has created an environment where ideologies have been able to get a foothold unchecked and unexamined.

This current furore is all the more divisive and controversial, because attention to the issue has come far, far too late.

Edited

This ignores the fact that gender ideology swept across the western world the last ten years or so. It divided America and took over Canada and Australia and half of Europe for a start. Yes, we got caught up in it but the Tories put the brakes on a while back when they rowed back on self ID. Had we had a leftist party in power, we would be full on gender woo by now.

Could the Tories have done better? Yes. But it could have been soooooo much worse.

The other thing to note is that in the local elections, the tories lost 400ish seats but Labour didn't pick up that many.

Labour picked up a little over half that, which suggests to me the lost tory votes could have been protest votes that may return for a General Election.

I don't understand why Labour risk alienating up to 50% of the population when it's totally unnecessary. It's almost like they're trying to throw yet another election and it makes me so angry. Their misogyny is so deep rooted they don't even recognise it for what it is.

Good try op. The tories are finished.

They'll never be finished. Yes this current lot will be voted out this time. But they'll be back. They always are.

I can't vote. I'm totally stuck. And I'm so fucking furious with Labour for being the way they are and putting me in this position. I know a lot of women feel the same way.

You're right OP.

I can't vote for them, they represent a genuine risk to women's rights, which is so sad.

ssd · 16/05/2024 18:15

fiskaloopa · 16/05/2024 18:06

Yep. Labour have a real blind spot regarding women. A very male dominated and weirdly macho party given their aim to be progressive.

I saw that Rosie Duffield confirmed on Twitter that she met with Keir for 17 minutes but no apology.

They just don't get it.

Ha ha I'd like to see him try 😂 he'd rather sell his own granny rather than be seen as unwoke. We've had it mate 😭

But he’s not the only one in the Labour party
