And we have a female mayor!!

Oh christ.
I am soooo sorry.
As a proud Leeds lass I am once again shamed by the mysogonists that run this city.

This is the place that bans women from meeting to discuss women's rights? That doesn't like lesbians marching for lesbians' rights? The one with the prostitution zone where they can hive off sex workers where men can abuse them without any comeback? The place where the local police arrest women for wrongthink?

They're having a laugh, aren't they?

I wonder what definition of woman they'll be using? Presumably not the dictionary one.

LOLOL. My sides.

Does anyone know anything about the Women's Live Leeds group and its partner organisations?

AnyOldPrion · 30/09/2019 19:02

Ah yes, but what kind of woman is it friendly to?

Not all women....

StereophonicallyChallenged · 30/09/2019 19:00

I will ask my local Councillor about this. Because FFS we have an actual no go area due to the legalised prostitution zone.

So what are all the other cities going to be like then?

EndoplasmicReticulum · 30/09/2019 18:55

Ha ha ha. Except it's not funny, is it.

The idea was apparently first muted two years ago Hmm

EmpressLesbianInChair · 30/09/2019 18:51

Um, isn't it Leeds that has the prostitution zone?

And the ban on women-only spaces.

Apt it's being funded by Comic Relief, as that does sound like a (bad) joke.

ChattyLion · 30/09/2019 18:50

They’re taking the piss, surely
