Dickhead statement by Twitter obsessed husband tonight…

Anyone care to share actual statistics? Though I’m not sure where “a certain age” may fall within those.

There's an awful lot of women of my age (61) and older on Twitter who obviously can't see through posh pricks. They are in thrall to Rees Mogg as well.

Mind you look at all the posh young 'totty' they have as. Kirby commentators too -

I'm convinced these young women just want to meet a posh bloke with a very full wallet and thing there's more money to be made being right wing-

The only people I've met who have seemed to like Johnson have been middle-aged or elderly men.

That’s my experience too. Very angry, easily triggered elderly and middle aged men too.

Us middle aged women get the blame for lots of things but thank fuck getting a party of arrogant entitled bastards into power isn't one of them

😅👏👏 well said

Theresa May and Penny Morduant supported yesterday's motion, Rees-Mogg supports Johnson fervently on any occasion, and some male MP on R4today was also providing vehement support this morning.
Sunak to weak to say anything.
Doesn't exactly support the 'women of a certain age' theory.

Is your partner a misogynist twat, or just a twat?

Crikeyalmighty · 20/06/2023 11:15

If I can just mention too as forgot to add it to my post- there's an awful lot of elderly and middle aged men enabling this bunch of berks too - of all classes

So what if it's true?

We all get one vote each, one more no less. We are each an individual.

People who tally up votes by sex or race and try to prove 'x are to blame for what I don't like now it is ok to be angry at x' are the prejudiced cocktrumpets and the real problem they are underlining is their own narrative about the world.

We should condemn anyone who supports a serial killer, misogynist, man who has used racist language, and industrial scale liar.

Regardless of gender, age, or any other personal characteristic.

Bah the point of Johnson is that he is a liar, I don't see why his delusional supporters shouldn't be criticized. The country is in a pit economically because of his "leadership". 80 seat majority and he wasted it and us.

Our local MP thinks he's wonderful. I thought my estimation of her couldn't go lower then she came out with that pearl. She abstained last night.

The border changes mean that she won't be our candidate for the next election so we'll get to dodge her but I can quite believe this late middle age _ middle class demographic of women thing.

sonearly · 20/06/2023 12:13

I mean if you join in with "women of a certain age are responsible for this" and proceed to hold them responsible for him, you're a misogynist looking for a reason, or you're a sap repeating it..

Dress it up how you like, use batshit insane terms like 'serial killer' whatever. Doesn't change anything. People can read.

Isn't it funny how often the kinder gentler side of politics lapses to hatred, and how much of their compassionate progressive thinking resolves in the end against women in some way.

In REALITY, voters are INDIVIDUALS, NOT DEMOGRAPHICS SOMEONE STARTED OUT WANTING TO HATE.
