Ed Davy on R4 Today - there should not be safe places for women

I welcome his candour. He has demonstrated that like many men in powerful positions, he can get away with openly shitting on women and face no consequences at all.

Trump had to be covertly recorded being misogynist before anyone complained, and he rode it out. We've now progressed to UK political party leaders being misogynists on national radio and being applauded for it by liberals.

Fuck you, Davey. And everyone who supports you and your views.

Has anyone asked him his thoughts on transmen in male prisons and what the safeguarding issues may be there?

It's always about the transwomen....

Can’t see any party worth voting for right now because of the misogyny we are seeing. As along time labour voter, I did actually vote Lib Dem on the back of opposing Brexit as at least they were clear. Now their clarity will lose them women’s votes. So be it. Deeply shocked but not surprised by this man’s assertion, similar to that of my labour MP. And the contrast between that piece and the report on violence to women....

I confess I did shout "fuck off!" At the radio

Male power. They just don’t care or like girls and women. We really need a new party otherwise I’m going to have to vote for Boris.

Well, I suppose it's about time biological men had some freedom after years of having their movements so restricted by the irrational feelings and unimportant experiences of women. I mean, what possible harm can it do?
It's that question of potential harm that baffles me. How can he be so wilfully ignorant? Might as well get some nice paper and write those abusers an invite.

Non penis havers should be supervised at all times by penis havers. There must be no time they are ever out of penis havers' control and presence.

Wouldn't he be happier somewhere like Kabul?

So basically Ed thinks women and girls shouldn’t ever be allowed single sex spaces.

Just wow.

Funny how this understanding thing only seems to go one way.

So apparently women don't understand the lives and experiences of those identifying as TW but presumably Mr Davey thinks that TW have unique lady brain insight into being female.

Penis = Access All Areas pass

That’s what this is all about

I really, really resent Ed telling me that I 'don't understand' with regard to anything.
It all seems so familiar. Man tells women to 'pipe down because you're clearly hard of thinking'.
This current Ed stuff feels like he is indulging in some political willy-waving.
Agree that LD's are fucked and they deserve it. Locally, nationally, it's just too hard, annoying and pointless to work out what they are for. So easy to forget they exist until they pop up again with some woman-sidelining/hating crap.

Gutted as I’ll have to tactically vote in the next GE or just not vote.

Ed davey🤦‍♀️

"yeh, because I think some of the arguments that are put against this just don't understand the facts and experience. You know, transpeople women are some of the most discriminated against in our society. They suffer violence. They suffer harassment."

There, corrected it for you, Ed.

Poor Mr Ed. This is all on Layla Moran. She is operating him with a foot pump

Hats off, that is fucking brilliant!

It is indeed beyond depressing when you have to face that you will be forced to vote tactically to try to keep out the most gynephobic/male supremacist parties rather than actually voting for anyone you would wish to support.

I was so, so close to voting lib dems in the last GE. Then I found out what they really thought about women. Ended up voting Labour but I'm buggered if I'm doing that on the next one, so politcially homeless it is.

How can you square rising violence against women and girls with a view that there shouldn't be anywhere males can't go, so no refuge for women, no escape for women, no safe space for women, ever

Not unexpected from LD but it's really pissed me off this morning. After a week of reading news stories of men committing assaults on women, men possessing and creating horrific images and getting away with slaps on the wrist.

No one cares. They're all too bloody concerned with the 'most' oppressed kind of women, the ones getting attacked and murdered and raped more than any other women apparently.

Meanwhile rape victims get told they have to reframe their trauma and that they have privilege

And now a grown man feels comfortable enough to go on the radio and say he doesn't believe anything should be free from males. The leader of a political party no less. It's all just so unbelievably shit.

It's funny because to me he accepts the answer has to be binary! There is no other clearly defined option.

Well, I've resigned my membership and told them why. I expect they'll be glad to get rid of another woman.

I'm sure I'll stay on the "begging" lists though, wouldn't want to miss out on my money even if I am a terrible terrible person.

Poor Mr Ed. This is all on Layla Moran. She is operating him with a foot pump.

Some people are saying that Davey didn't answer clearly which surprised me. The words themselves are pretty clear.

Ld's all went wrong after Charlie Kennedy. The choice then was between Clegg and Huhne, a charlatan and a crook.

I'm fairly confident that Boris Johnson has said very little about the conflict of sex based Safeguarding and demands of transactivists. Ed Davey has had a year to aquaint himself with the Equality Act and reflect on its proper application.

The Minister for Women and Equalities' Written Ministerial Statement to the House, on the Government’s response to the consultation on the Gender Recognition Act 2004.

"The Equality Act 2010 clearly protects transgender people from discrimination. The same act allows service providers to restrict access to single sex spaces on the basis of biological sex if there is a clear justification."
