So post Brexit, it's a free for all, especially against women rights.

I'm writing to my Tory MP to ask her opinion on this.

Ego- good to see you back. Hope it all went well x

The hashtags #letmeeatcake and #feministzealot are quite satisfying to look at.

It says a lot about a political party that they haven't even suspended an MP who campaigns to remove rights for women, carers, the disabled, the poor
He is basically against everyone who isn't a wealthy white male.

He has a safe seat, so he'll probably be spouting this vileness for many years more

Janet Bloomfield is and endless delight. I sometimes wonder what happened to her to make her hate her own sex so much, and then I realise that I don't actually care, just just needs to stop.

He sounds vile.

That Janet Bloomfield (one of the articles linked to) is a real charmer too. You can almost feel the spittle hitting you.

PD is also the one who said disabled people should work for less than minimum wage.

He really is the gift that keeps on giving.

HelenaDove · 12/08/2016 21:11

Absolutely fuming about this and his absolute hate towards women. How can this tosser spout this crap in the same week the figures about sexual harassment came out.

And the thread about the CMS in Site Stuff absolutely shows beyond all doubt how its weighted in favour of men.

Xenophile · 12/08/2016 21:06

The Secret Barrister on the ever fragrant Mr Davies.

Such a nice, sensible chap.

Because it's not about equal rights for those kinds of men, it's about a return to a time when women never got custody of children after divorce, when women didn't have the vote and men could control every aspect of their females' lives.

What really gets me about this, apart from the absurdity, is his naming of women who want equal rights, zealots, and men who support these zealots, inferior, but at a conference in which men are demanding equal rights. Where is the logic in this?

In fact, it does everyone a huge disservice.

He should be suspended from Parliament.

What a tosser.

QueenLaBeefah · 12/08/2016 18:29

Hopefully, at the next election, the women of his constituency will remember what a whiny arse he is and put their X next to someone else's name.

Xenophile · 12/08/2016 16:25

Bucky Mike has come onto MN before to let us know how awful women are. And to try and sell one or two of his stupid books. Was quite funny.

Felascloak · 12/08/2016 16:01

Ugh.
I don't understand why this is ok. Its bordering on hate speech. Can you imagine the uproar if he said this about a minority group? Or if there was a political party out there giving medals for whiny black activist of the month, lying disability campaigner of the month and toxic lgbt activist of the month? They'd be prosecuted.
He needs to have some parliamentary discipline and I hope TM does that. Not holding my breath though.

20p bet says that PD couldn't give a shiny shit about male midwives.

I have no problem either with the HoC celebrating IMD, it was more the whiny way he brought it up when IWD was being discussed.

tribpot · 12/08/2016 15:14

Btw I am not at all opposed to the House of Commons celebrating International Men's Day, provided debates which are about men's issues are held back to take place on it. This would also give a platform to discuss under-representation of men in midwifery, an issue I am surprised to discover Mr Davies cares about.

tribpot · 12/08/2016 15:10

I'm guessing May won't want to censure him in public for fear of being "too feminist" for much of her party's tastes. Corbyn won't want to get into it and once again open prejudice like Boris' racism will become more socially and politically acceptable.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 12/08/2016 15:07

Theresa May squashed Dominic Raab when he tried to do MRA whinging in the House of Commons a few years ago so hopefully this will be seen as the path to career death under her premiership.
