AIBU to give my wife a small amount of sedatives each day?

[MotherEarthisaTerf]

Just a little mild sedative daily so she never realises there are better men out there?
AIBU?

From MNHQ: We implore you to read the thread before reporting!

The moderators obviously understand - people keep reporting the thread because they don’t know who I am.

The Home Secretary ultimately has to answer to Parliament and is responsible for making sure our communities, in all force areas, are kept safe and secure, and for protecting our national borders and security.

so obviously, I’m in charge of what’s funny or not.

I hope he gets asked about this at a commitee hearing - and followed up by talk about sexism, banter and mysogny.

@pinkyredrose what are you saying here? That what the Home Secretary said is OK, just a joke, we should all just shut up about it?

Is there a term for the opposite of nominative determinism? Because, it’s very much needed in his case.

Home Secretary James Cleverly apologises for 'ironic joke' about spiking wife's drink www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67813689

Disgusting sexist behaviour and jokes like James C's all add up to create the culture of misogynistic patriarchial crap and society we as women survive in. If this doesn't make you angry your not paying attention.

You sound like a winner!

Did you really think that MNHQ were supporting a poster in drugging a womam- really?

He needs to go.

If it’s acceptable for a member of our Government to joke about drugging his spouse, it sends a horrific message about what is OK in the UK.

Pure misogyny to let him stay. I don’t care if they all say shit like this. If they do, they should all go. We have to take a stand. Get rid of them all until the ones left in power don’t think it’s OK to treat us like lesser objects!

No, but given how sensitive the subject is, I’d have expected them to add the context themselves in the OP.

Thisvis what scraping the bottom of the political barrel looks like.

Christ, what an unbelievably crass and stupid thing to say. Will the Tories defend him as just a bit of banter? Like they did the Lockdown parties? Is it just the dour Lefties who find this inexcusable?

This is the culture Boris Johnson created and endorsed. Remember he joked about Pinscher assaulting men. I honestly think Theresa May would have sacked Cleverly immediately.

Are you Mrs Cleverly?

I think we’ve all thought that a number of times over the last few years, but it keeps getting lower.

This is so depressing, how can this man be allowed to keep his job.

There are even women posting on here defending him.

Oh it was a bloody joke

Is that all you have to say??
So you agree with him then??
Birds of a feather and all that.

Nothing this government does or says surprises me anymore. I'm eagerly awaiting the day when they're gone and I can return to watching the news without wanting to put my foot through the tv!

Well it wasn't bloody funny then 🙄

Hilarious.

Well I expect given that statement you'll be so relieved that it shows he knows what a woman is.

Oh stop!!😂

Can't you?

He's only been Home Secretary a few weeks, Sunak won't want to lose another one for an inability to think before speaking.

If it wasn't Christmas maybe - but I think they'll be betting this gets forgotten pretty quickly.
