Has the left now met the right, shaken hands with it then stuck 2 fingers up at the general population?

To answer your thread question, not really. Misogyny is still endemic, and sexists come in all religions, colours and nationalities as well as voting patterns, but women generally have more rights and responsibilities under left leaning or centrist governments.

Not the fault of Women. The fault of a small noisy minority that wanted only their own version of equality to be the law.

I see. So it is women’s fault that men want to invade our safe spaces.
Thanks so much for informing me.
If we had just stayed quiet about discrimination all would have been fine.

How many UK Women are now contacting the Afghan embassy or Australian parliament about the situation?

Rightly or wrongly, part of the current nonsense of TS in the personal space of either sex/gender or recognising somebody whatever they tell us they are, is partially the fallout from earlier Women's rights activism. The restricted times at golf clubs (now outlawed) is a good example, as is the private gentlemans club that was in the news recently.

I see no issue in certain clubs or times being sex or age only. Neither does the majority of the population, male or female. We all should have the freedom to have our own spaces with likeminded individuals.

Has the left now met the right

There's a quote from the TV show Years and Years along the lines of "you go far right, you go far left, eventually you meet in the middle".

The thing is that it’s not the majority of men but a vocal minority who have gained power in both the OP’s examples. And the majority of men are silent about it because women’s rights are not a priority to them.

Neither of your examples (assuming you are talking about todays judgement in Oz about a transexual and use of an app) are about political leaning or representative of the majority of Western men.

How many men do you know that expect a woman to be covered head to toe? How many men really couldn't care less is if women had a chat app that allowed them access only. In the same way the majority of the population wouldn't care if a transexual had an app where only he/she could access.

Hm, tbf they've only stuck their fingers up at half of the general population.

I get what you mean more re the thread title

It is very depressing and I'd like to see political change to overturn where we are

Now? 'Twas ever thus, though it's particularly stark at the moment.

I don't see what your thread title has to do with your OP.

Yes, different means of expression but misogyny is more fashionable than ever. It's truly depressing.

We've always been hated because most men are psychologically weak and insecure. They make themselves feel better by dominating others ie women and children.
