Sir Bernard Jenkins standing up for women on IWD - and a bunch of female MPs failing to.

This has just popped up on my youtube feed. It is Sir Bernard Jenkin, in the commons on the International Women's Day debate, pushing back against self ID and advocating for women's need for single sex space. Anneliese Dodds has a beef with him when he refers to her performance the other day. Once again, the betrayal of women by several female MPs astonishes and depresses me. Thank you, Sir Bernard.

Wow, the number of women standing up to betray their own sex is a bloody depressing sight indeed Sad How do they live with themselves?

Most vulnerable my foot, if we're talking vulnerable let's look at the number of women murdered shall we? How many predatory men get to use that loophole and attack women before whoever she is (no idea) takes some notice eh? Angry

Jess Philips MP: "The list is painfully long, but in reality it is much longer."

This year's list of women known to be murdered by men:

Oh bravo that man!

Do we know who shouted out ‘they’re not the most vulnerable’?

It’s a shame certain sections of society will completely ignore his points because he’s a (presumably) straight white ‘cis’ man though.

How much less likely is a man to be cancelled for speaking up though, do we think?

Igmum · 10/03/2022 16:21

Bloody wonderful. And yes, how appalling to see other members interrupting to refer to the 'most vulnerable' (no rights for you pesky women because you don't win Equalities Top Trumps this week)

UsernameNotAvailableHmm · 10/03/2022 16:17

Well done, and thank you, Sir Bernard

I'm not a Conservative, but I think that was absolutely wonderful.

Monitaurus · 10/03/2022 16:03

Wow. He has it , even if most of the labour women don’t . Thank you for spelling it out so clearly. Did the labour MP concerned explain her definition later? Hearing the number of rapists identifying as women is really important, but very scary. ( goes off to search for later footage)

I've got a transcript for you, Annaliese.

Spoiler: she gives no definition.

DomesticatedZombie · 10/03/2022 15:47

Well, he seems like a nice man. Thank you, Sir Bernard.

'we must be clear and courageous' - yes.

And a mention of the Cass interim report. He's on it.

Arrggh, typo in the title. Jenkin, not Jenkins!
