Labour Losing women

Coralfox's view on maternity leave is based on the patriarchal views that women should behave like men and get back into the workforce as soon as possible, instead of the feminist view that mothers should have the opportunity to bond and care for their children, be able to breastfeed as long as possible and recover from both birth as well as pregnancy.

Fathers don't have that recovery part, the 9 months pregnant, 9 months recovery. I am for mothers having those 9 months maternity leave and then fathers the option for an additional 3 months, covering the first year of a babies life. This meets the needs of the mother from the biological sense, as well as provides the father with precious bonding time with their children as well, plus the needs of the child to be at home with their parents.

If only governments would support that, instead of forcing mothers to go back when they are not ready, physically and emotionally, based on the idea that if fathers can do it, mothers should do it too.

Balls to that,I want a flying car.

That ratio:

Thats fair enough to base it on how they run your area.

A leaflet cant contain the whole lot its too long.

A link to their website is a good idea. They coukd put a link or qr code to each headline.

On their website there is more detail (not much, but more than that statement. There is a tiny paragraph saying howm

The election hasnt been called so i do think its unfair to expect a full manifesto before that happens.

These shpuld be teasers at an early stage.

When are we going to get the monorails?

You'll be in prison or unable to use services, but you can lie in your cell reflecting on your childcare options.

With your lovely cellmate Karen, who was previously called Kevin.

And that's assuming that either party sticks to their manifesto.

100% not satire, btw. You can click the link.

I heard that described elsewhere and I thought it must be at least partially exaggerated! It isn't

I agree. But that does mean it's a bit pointless even discussing either party until the manifestos are released.

'Tackling violence against women and girls. Labour will halve levels of violence against women and girls within a decade because everyone has the right to live free from fear.
We will introduce new specialist domestic abuse workers in 999 control rooms and put specialist rape investigation units in every force across England and Wales – so that early opportunities for prevention and protection are not missed.
We’ll require police forces to target dangerous repeat offenders with the tactics and tools normally reserved for counter-terror and serious organised crime investigations, to get serious perpetrators off our streets. And we’ll put specialists in the court system to support rape and domestic abuse victims and ensure that justice is done.'

This is all I can find.

My Labour candidate has sent me two leaflets this week (1 x 2 pages of A4, 1 x 8 pages of A5).

The crime section ends with "Labour has a plan to halve violence against women and girls." Nothing else. Is it too much to expect to have some detail or a link?

How is it 'unfair' to expect them to outline this plan?

I'm also basing my view of Labour on how they have run London for 8 years, run Wales for 2 decades and run their local authorities - one of which (Birmingham) is on the verge of collapse partly because of the millions it spent fighting unsuccessfully a case of discrimination against its women workers.

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan has today launched a major new campaign to empower men and boys to say ‘Maaate’ to their mates as a means of challenging sexism and misogyny in society.

Is this FOR REAL???
To help men find the words to tackle sexist or misogynistic language - really?
Howabout they just say "that's really sexist" "that's really misogynistic" "that's out of order"?
Just call it out for what it is!

I think its a bit unfair to drill down into manifestos that havent actually been released.

People are basing their view on the conservatives on what has been like over the last 14 years and assuming more of the same

They are basing their view on labour on the previous labour governments, their performance in opposition, what the press is saying, and what labour are saying.

Labour have a list of 5 missions and have paddded them out a little bit. But the detail isnt there. If you look at their website they do expand on how they will "halve violence against women and girls'

The conservaties also have 5 priorities like halving inflation, growing the economy, reducing debt, cutting waiting lists and stopping boats. These arent padded out either.

Although rumours that that is the full Labour manifesto may be exaggerated.

TBF @ArabellaScott the 'Jolly' policies were largely Boris' shtick.

Gotta be different than the nasty tories after all. Nothing Jolly To Be Seen Here.

Oh, I see. They did.

No details? Then WTAF is the point?

They may as well promise to cure cancer, eradicate world hunger and Make Everyone Jolly Happy.

No, no detail. I'm guessing they will do it by asking men nicely not to be violent to ladies.

This campaign was very effective in London where we now have 0 violence against women and if you don't believe me ask the Met Police who are trustworthy enforcers of this.

Absolutely.

Chastity belts.

Arguing about whether red or blue (green, orange, pink)is a distraction from the issue.:
There isn't one of the larger political parties , that are likely to gain a majority or effective sway, that are pro women and can be trusted to uphold our rights and prioritise our safety and well being.

Labour/Tories/other - same man, different hat.

I'd imagine by redefining VAWG.

Change the words around, the reality disappears, no effort or actually doing anything is required and life is fab. Whoo hoo.

Curfews? 😛
