Green Party London meeting tonight; man abuses woman saying "shut up you stupid cow"

Going on their record, I doubt it.

This is the party who called women "non-men."

Yep
Woke Bros are some of the worst kind of misogynists. They think they can hide but we see them

Name and shame. People need to know

That is disgraceful. Horrible to abuse someone talking about domestic violence. I do hope the Greens do something about it.

More from Shahrar Ali on this:

Sorry but I don't know. You are correct to question it.

There can't be that many people who are members of GPRC who attended the meeting.

I’ve known a lot of green/eco-warrior/hippy/lentil-weaver types and it’s always struck me that they tend to have very traditional family set-ups where the woman does all the childcare and is often sidelined financially - sometimes related to a kind of earth mother / attachment parenting concept where she must always be available for her kids, does extended BF, etc. I’m not judging those choices in themselves but they can tend to conflict with feminism in some situations, and attract men who want to be dominant and to excuse themselves from anything domestic while they go off and save the world.

Yup. I saw a lot of this in the late 70s when I was briefly involved in the anti-uranium/anti-nuclear movement. Men leading, often in a very sexist (and sometimes sexually exploitative) way.

And again in the Occupy movement - stories of rape and other kinds of sexual assault in the Occupy camps were pretty common. Again, leadership from hippy men with a strong line in virtue signalling.

As a child of the 70s, I was briefly enamoured of the hippy movement - it seemed so admirable in its aims - and well, the music! But when I came into contact with the reality - it was disillusioning. Men who thought that women's lib meant any woman was sexually available, and frigid/uptight if she resisted ...

Men just can't help showing us who the are and how much they really hate us, can they?

A female woman? Not that there are any male ones.

I have been told that it wasn't a man who said it but a woman who is also a member of the Green Party Regional Council. This was disgusting and harmful behaviour towards someone who was in distress and sharing her lived experience in what should have been a safe space.

I'm not generally one for saying that if it had been a trans person on the receiving end of this remark the response might have been different but...

Calls for Shahrar Ali and others to be expelled from the party, using the slur T*s.

This is what that nice pastel rainbow coloured motion was really about, I expect.

Having just read Shahrar's thread again, Caroline Russell called out the abuse at the meeting, for which, thank you.

There should still be a consequence - people are not supposed to be so callous/abusive to other members, even if they disagree with them. To have told a woman apparently recounting her history of abuse to 'shut up you stupid cow' is utterly abhorrent.

All aided of course by the two really starkly misogynist men who have been exposed during the AB court case. Came for the diversity, stayed for the misogyny.

Gosh. Getting ever hard to cover eyes and shout lalala and go on denying that this is a movement that valorises and legitimises really foul misogyny isn't it?

When 'beating transphobia' as that quote demonstrates, in fact equates with 'celebrating the abuse and prejudice against females', then we've reached the end of the road on what 'transphobia' is being used to mean and what its providing a fig leaf for.

All I have seen so far from the GP is much triumphant posting about how they've saved LGBTQI+ rights.

Nobody has mentioned the abuse. No calling out, no decrying it. I expect they won't ever even acknowledge it, because it seems there is a deeply rooted strand of misogyny in the GP that genuinely thinks a woman being abused is fair game if she doesn't do as she's told.

Green Parties all over the world appear to be astonishingly sexist. It's an odd match for being green, I would have thought.

Some of the worst sexists and misogynists IME are lefty, do-gooder type men, and when you combine that with gender ideology that says men can also BE women and be superior to actual women, and that that makes them stunning and brave, I can see how some very toxic types leap aboard. And they’re surrounded by young, idealistic “be kind”-indoctrinated women who will raise them up.

We have a climate emergency and a cost of living crisis meanwhile the Green Party...

What was the motion, does anyone know? On the Twitter thread someone said there was a motion (I assume pro gender identity theory) that passed after and the man in question was allowed to vote.

Be kind seems very one sided?

Berry is crowing about beating transphobia.

Not the deep green resistance. They liken abuse of the plant to dv/ misogyny and call it out.

Green Parties all over the world appear to be astonishingly sexist. It's an odd match for being green, I would have thought. But then I also used to think that they young are less sexist than older people which doesn't seem to be true.

I admire all those women, and male allies, who persevere despite abuse and intimidation from the transactivists. Thank you for staying strong.

@Nordensost If there was a mike on the person who interrupted or said something sotto voce and recordings made then they should be released. Including what the speaker was saying at the time she was interrupted. Were you there in person?
