The Green Party has no interest in the protection of women and children.

Sian Berry is pathetically craven in throwing women and girls under the bus. She deleted all her supportive tweets and retweets of Aimee Challenor pretty quickly when that particular shit met that particular fan though.

Emma deserves a medal.

If I can't have them no one can...Hmm

That statement needs to be advertised far and wide so that women can be left in no doubt what this ‘debate’ is actually about.

I think it's worth supporting the other co-chair though. She's a brave woman.

No kidding, Warrior. That's right up there with "enjoy your erasure" as a statement of intent. Women will never forget this one, either.

I too am a some-time Green voter who will never vote for them while this is what they choose to stand for.

Actually I think if women want to change this they should join the Green party on mass (if other policies aline). Why should women abandon the party/be forced out? Join, and shout louder, I think most people, if you explain the situation and consequences and showed real world examples, would agree that sex based rights should stay. Women are letting themselves be forced to the margins, and worse, far right. Fuck that. I'm often a Green voter. I'm going to join the party because of this and strongly and loudly argue my case.

The Greens vanishingly small chance of ever becoming the party of government has now become even smaller.

I used to vote green from time to time, they weren’t my go-to party but I did often vote for them depending on the constituency I was living in. I guess they’ve calculated that losing votes like mine will be irrelevant because of all the other votes they’ll gain. Or they genuinely think I’m a transphobe and they don’t want my vote regardless. Either way, they’ve made their choice, I think we all need to make ours. We’ll see how it works out for them. Relying on young activists didn’t work out too well for labour last time around, but maybe they’re onto something that I can’t see.

The co chair of Green Party Women cheers the vote against sex based rights (which harms women) and continues to work for a company that prescribed powerful drugs to children without medical supervision or their parents knowledge. This is also an issue that concerns women deeply.

Remind me how K Bristow has any interest in issues that concern women again...?

"Sex based rights were defeated"

That is such a chilling sentence.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 08/03/2021 09:54

Do women have a home in the green party? That the party refused to pass a motion recognising women's rights and that Sian Berry boasts about defeating it suggests not.

I agree.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 08/03/2021 09:41

The Challenors will be pleased.

JustTurtlesAllTheWayDown · 08/03/2021 09:41

Over a thousand people liked it too. I'd be sorry that the Green Party has lost all chance of election but tbh they stopped focusing on climate change ages ago.

Do women have a home in the green party? That the party refused to pass a motion recognising women's rights and that Sian Berry boasts about defeating it suggests not. That's the kick in the teeth not the passing of self-ID. The party wouldn't let women have that and that is really revealing about the misogyny and rejection of women.
