Or does this Labour Party meme display all we need to regarding about how they feel about women?

Those silly little women. Apart from the ones with penises. They’re just like us men.

Just because something’s used a lot, doesn’t make it any less egregious.

It’s particularly ill-timed at present, given the spotlight on the misogyny that’s been so rife within Labour. Really ham-fisted of the Labour comms team to let this one through.

This. And I'm so sick of Labour et al following childish social media trends for likes. Stick to the day job, be adults and tell us how you will run this country if you're given the chance. Stop pandering to the lowest common denominator.

I don’t like it, and have commented to say so, but no I don’t think it ‘tells us all we need to know’. It’s one silly meme, not something I’ll make my political choices based on.

Here's lifelong Labour voter @Lion400 again with another thread.

It's a really rubbish advert.

I'm still voting to get the Tories out. The GE can't come soon enough.

I wouldn't vote Tory with a gun to my head. You're mistaking criticism of Labour for endorsement of their opposition.

We should not accept overt misogyny from Labour. How will they ever change if we do?

This! Im baffled that no one even vaguely thought “is this is a little sexist ?” before they put it out

johntorodesfatcheeks · 20/04/2024 10:57

Cringeworthy and deeply offensive.

Another Labour exercise in self sabotage. It’s as if they are determined to threaten what should be an unassailable position against the rabble currently posing as a government.

WhisperGold · 20/04/2024 11:30

Are the Labour Party perfect? Nope.
Are they better than this current government. You betcha!

I’ve not decided. I’d like to vote Lib Dem. But it won’t make a difference. Tbh ( and MN will hate this) I’m screwed in the middle. The Labour Party offers nothing for me general and nor do the Tories really. But I’m never ever voting labour. They don’t even need women, they think men can do a better job of being women than women. It’s a firm no from me.

Yes. Yes they do. The more evidence of having a woman problem they shower on us from their lofty confident we’re going to not lose this election cos the Conservatives are so crap heights, the more I can’t stand them.

In contrast to you, I’ve only ever voted Labour (although a couple of times - Corbyn / Ed Milliband offerings, I didn’t vote at all).

This time I will vote, but not sure for who yet. Obviously not Labour.

I really don't understand the mentality that thinks it's ok that women (female pople) are expected to suck up being literally undefined as a distinct political and social group as the price we have to pay for defeating the Tories.

Would the same posters demand people ignore racism or anti Semitism for the greater good? Indeed, why isn't it trans identifying people being told to park their needs for now and trust they'll be treated fairly at some unspecified later date? Why is it just women being told there are more important things to worry about than their political and social rights so just shut up and submit?

Exactly.

I will never vote for a party who says
women can have a penis

Same.

'The GC'?! Gender critical women are not an homogeneous mass you know, or a hive mind. We're all individuals who probably disagree on as many things as we agree. It's best you don't say we all think and act the same.

Plus, it's women's sex-based rights we're fighting for. It's not a 'trans issue'. That minimises what's at stake. It's the usual ploy from those people on the left who don't want it talked about too much in case it actually does have an effect on people's votes.

I'm a member too and I agree with you.

I know they’ve removed it (well I haven’t checked but read somewhere that they have).

Did they apologise?

So you'll vote for one that fucks women instead?

The women with penises? Or the other kind?

News flash: the Labour Party hates women* and chooses a crass and sexist meme to be down with the kids that they later have to delete to save the looming reputational crisis

*the ones without penises

It's not that deep.

Or if it is, I now hate all women too and actively want to destroy them and here's the evidence because I shared this meme.

PS - I don't.

#Labourlosingwomen

They just love women in the Labour Party! That’s why they’ve had so many female leaders, and yes of course having a penis means they can be women!! Actual real life ladies.
