WEP expels founding member for tweeting #IStandWithJKRowlings

"What do we want!"
"Women's equality!"
"When do we want it!"
"Whenever suits men!"

They're an embarrassment.

WEP published a really bell-endish tweet complaining about traffic calming a bit ago. It was pointed out that women are disproportionately unlikely to be perpetrators of traffic offences & more likely to suffer as a consequence of unsafe roads - more likely to have kids to look after, less likely to drive, more likely to say they're too scared to cycle - etc. To no avail. Going off the subject slightly, but backs up the idea that WEP are led by donkeys.

Well done Hilary 👊

Oh yes. She's also replied direct to wep:

"i challenged WEP on constantly using other organisations' ideas and protests, like BLM or DRA, rather than having any of their own. They wilfully interpreted this as racism/ableism in order to discredit me. I have no interest in wasting further time on them."

She's responded to the accusations of racism etc. I agree with her, lots of the so called policies are really mediocre waffle when you would want a Party claiming this space to be outstanding on their subject. Heather BE has been proven to be absolutely right and yet because some of the inner circle doesn't agree she's out.

Really poor quality approach and work at the centre.

Are there any organisations that were set up for women that are not centering trans ideology?

A Woman's Place and forwomen.scot are two.

The most recent blog on the wep sexed based rights caucus Web site (linked above) explains the conversation that's happening within the party.

I went to the online discussion referred to in that blog - & I am also still hopeful. I think it's a genuine process to find a way forward, although that obviously doesn't mean the outcome will necessarily be what I want.

"I read this as the training was about not putting things on social media which don't match their policies.
That doesn't seem an awful thing for a political party."

That's how I read it too. Especially at a time when that policy area is under discussion. It doesn't make the situation less stupid - but the issue is that the whole situation is a mess & they are currently trying to pick their way out of it.

The penny has dropped. The Women's Equality Party is designed to get women to give up all the privileges we've been blessed with and to give men an equal playing field, poor things.

Ridiculous.

Complaining about the petition to the IOC is particularly grating. Even people who know nothing about the trans issue know males competing in women’s sports is utterly unfair and frequently unsafe.

The WEP supports the rights of males over
Feagaiga Stowers from Samoa to win women’s weightlifting gold in weightlifting.

We ought to know her name as a champion.

she expressed views on the party’s involvement in issues of race and disability that are incompatible with the party’s position. So, erm, what happened really?

This schism was always on the cards it just took time to play out. It's striking, of course, that WEP is being left in the hands and leadership of TWAW advocates and those who explicitly centre women are the schism.

Mandu Read, the party leader, gave a Diva award to Dr Harrop last year. That tells you her attitude to women.

I'm torn here between wanting to scream and because Haddock is indeed a diva, but I suspect they were using the word in a different way ...

So they not only breached their own proclaimed confidentiality but did it to taint the member by dragging in new unexplained matters which the 'subject' had not disclosed. How dishonourable to smear someone in that weasel way ('clarifications') to shore up their poor Stalinist excuse for investigation.

The name Women's Equality Party is a bad joke.

Ooh I was so excited when the WEP was launched and joined at the start. 1 year of crappy waffly badly written shite supporter emails and press releases later, with no sign of having anything to say about actual inequality or threats to women, and I de-joined. So disappointing.

WEP is completely ineffective. After 5 years what notable advancements have they acheved?

Membership has been plummeting for most of it's existence. The Committee roles are allocated via popularity contests instead of being skill or competence based. And they're completely in thrall to the LGBTI genderists.

It would be a shame if the party was successful but as it's a amateurish ineffective waste of time anyway.

WEP certainly seem to be having some kind of discussion. I'm not sure what you'd call it.

The WEP sex based rights caucus have a website here which is pretty informative about what's been going on a WEP. www.wepsbr.com

Kudos to the GC WEP women who are doggedly fighting on, trying to do something about the ridiculous situation that the only UK party specifically for women, doesn't seem to know what a woman is.

I see there is now a WEP sex based rights caucus so now I'm really confused. Are they having an open discussion or not.
