I didn't think it was possible for political discourse to get more divisive and extreme in a civilized society, but Frances Carmel Hoole, who apparently standing for election, tweeted a meme of herself threatening Joanna Cherry with a spray bottle of bleach and the term T*RF.

She has deleted it and is now complaining about the sound condemnation she is receiving on Twitter. I need to get a hammock for my face to help with the continual dropping of my jaw.

Completely immersed in misogyny, isn't even aware of how wrong what she did is. Totally desperate for male approval. The stupid thing is that normal voters don't care about "Terfs", they won't think less of a woman who uses the term woman to mean what it has always meant.

Not forgetting Sheffiel Labour Councillor Neale Gibson's dreadful defence of the "Burn T*RFs posters" that appeared last year.

on Question Time just last night.

HandsOffMyRights · 01/11/2019 16:44

Despicable behaviour.

Yet Labour supposedly called this type of behaviour out as Question Time.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Another Labour candidate here being reported on Huffpost

I'm still a Labour party member, I feel so let down by their attitude towards women's sex based rights.

And this person is standing to be a Member of Parliament?!

Labour just get more and more embarrassing. Jesus.......

😲

I’m trying to think of a better response.

Siameasy · 01/11/2019 16:33

What an idiot. I think TRAs and female allies think that belief in their cause makes them immune from criticism and gives them a free pass to express their message however they choose, whilst telling everyone else what to think and say..the irony

What did Cherry do to be called a T*RF?

Tweets image laughing about violence against a woman. People tell her that’s wrong. Then tweets this:

I am extremely disappointed in the level of debate on gender and sexuality on these threads. It's provocative and dangerous and is as usual equating being trans with VAW which is just awful. Please stop.

All of my what.

Perhaps people would stop saying trans rights advocates approve of VAW if you would stop approving of VAW by tweeting memes advocating VAW.

Just maybe.

I a totally stumped about who to vote for, normally I'm a Labour voter. This sort of nonsense is not helping.

I bet she lives on twitter and only speaks to wokesters in RL. That kind of bubble would certainly lull you into thinking approving of threats against female MPs was just a bit of a larf.

Outside the cesspit, real world people and politics are much less forgiving. These people really don't have any real world connections, do they?

JustTurtlesAllTheWayDown · 01/11/2019 16:11

She's now posted this:

Absolutely zero sense of self-awareness. Zero.

RealityNotEssentialism · 01/11/2019 16:09

What an idiot. Good luck with your campaign, Frances.

IsadoraQuagmire · 01/11/2019 16:06

You're not defending women's rights unless you defend trans rights.

Oh yes, I forgot that bit (I looked at her Twitter)
How does she work that one out then?Confused

GetbusywiththeFizzee · 01/11/2019 16:06

Please respect what you are being told

We are the Borg. You have been assimilated. Resistance is futile.

Oh dear 😂

Coldwatershock · 01/11/2019 16:03

Great points above - Jo Cox, women leaving politics because of threats and harrassment.

"Respect what you are told?"

I'd rather go with what Winifred Holtby had Sarah Newton say in South Riding':

Don’t let me catch any of you at any time loving anything without asking questions. Question everything-even what I’m saying now. Especially, perhaps, what I say. Question every one in authority; and see that you get sensible answers to your questions. Then, if the answers are sensible, obey the orders without protest.

Question your government’s policy, question the arms race, question the Kingsport slums, and the economies over feeding school children, and the rule that makes women have to renounce their jobs on marriage, and why the derelict areas still are derelict.

This is a great country, and we are proud of it, and it means much that is most lovable. But questioning does not mean the end of loving, and loving does not mean the abnegation of intelligence. Vow as much love to your country as you like; serve to the death if that is necessary… .But, I implore you, do not forget to question. Lead on, girls.

But what if two different advocacy groups say two different things? Like on every issue of any substance in the world ever?

TerfTalk · 01/11/2019 15:56

Perhaps this charming candidate would be better suited to being a women's officer? That seems to be where Labour usually put their misogynists.

MissLawls · 01/11/2019 15:54

Well PIE was an advocacy group wasn't it...

BernardBlacksWineIceLolly · 01/11/2019 15:54

So this is what Frances Carmel Hoole, who sounds like a complete dipstick, has to say about her behaviour:

You're not defending women's rights unless you defend trans rights. Please respect what you are being told by advocacy groups

Why? What if the advocacy groups are not interested in women’s rights (cf stonewall)
