And he did it with the most derogatory angry expression on his face.

The country is being shafted and people are talking about this????

THis is FWR - we're concerned with feminism and therefore with sexism.

A Labour leader who posits himself - indeed, it's seen as his 'USP' these days - a real socialist has made a nasty sexist remark.

It's not enough for Corbyn to preach the bits of socialism he fancies - he needs to own and believe all of them or he's nothing more than a journeyman backbencher elevated to a position vastly in excess of his ability and experience.

No need to get personal, btw

I didn't. HTH

WomanLifeIsGoodish · 19/12/2018 13:47

We are only talking about it because he’s denying something that is on TV for the world to see.

Littlepond · 19/12/2018 13:46

Im not sure how this is misogynistic. Would “stupid people” be better? Or stupid person? Would it be this awful if TM called JC a stupid man? And when Mharie Black mouthed “you talk shite hen” that was oh so cool?

I hate all the childish nonsense that occurs between the two parties and I don’t think anyone should be hurling insults in the House of Commons, aloud or under their breath, but misogyny I don’t see. Petty nonsense, perhaps...

You can and I can but the media can't at the moment.

Yes, because the deluge of every day sexism, especially when cascading from what is supposedly the leadership of the nation is actually far more detrimental to the progress of both women and society in general than whatever policy matter of the day is under scrutiny - all that stuff washes out eventually anyway.

Strangely enough I can talk, think and care about more than one thing at a time. Can't you.

AdamNichol · 19/12/2018 13:43

Fair enough she is stupid and a woman!

May is strategically naive and a poor leader. I wouldn't call her stupid though. And I don't believe in any way, he merely meant it as a factual description. It is a phrase loaded with more connotation than denotation.

An awful little man, 'leading' an awful party.

70s mindset for 70s racism whilst working in the grand altar of patriarchy

Racism? Fucking autocorrect, now you're misogynist too??

70s SEXISM

According to Evelyn Glennie he said stupid woman.

SillySallySingsSongs · 19/12/2018 13:40

I’m not sure if he said Women or People after watching Sky, either way I cannot stand the Man.

They have just shown a close up twice on itv news. Its woman.

SillySallySingsSongs · 19/12/2018 13:39

Apparently he said ‘stupid people’.

That is what his spokespeople are saying. Shame there is tv evidence that shows different.

dadshere · 19/12/2018 13:39

So, it is misogynistic to refer to a woman as a woman is it? I certainly do not object to being called a woman, being called stupid is another matter. More faux outrage from the Corbyn haters.....

DeloresJaneUmbridge · 19/12/2018 13:38

I don’t get it!

He’s an idiot and I don’t like the expression “stupid woman” however he isn’t the first one who has said this and plenty of people here have called him “stupid man”. Am I missing someing or is it one rule for one and another for someone else.

AdamNichol · 19/12/2018 13:38

What? I don’t do twitter but are there really people trying to say he didn’t say “stupid woman”? Fuck me, they really have no shame using gaslighting techniques in plain sight do they?

It's not called gaslighting when a politician does it - it's called 'post truth world'. Isn't that fun. You can't get away with gaslighting when everything you do is recorded, you need another excuse. You misspoke, perhaps? Or were referring to a 'Cupid Bowman' perhaps?

Life long labour voter here too... never have and never will vote for JC.
Silly man thinks we are non people - not just non men.

He makes it easier and easier to convince folks in my community not to vote for him.

Gaslighting sexist Corbyn.
