Polanski is a buffoon

How anyone can take the Green party leader Zac Polanski seriously is completely beyond me. He has zero grasp of economics, beyond conning women out of ££££s by pretending he could hypnotise them to increase their bust measurements. He is the worst representative of gay men who worship the men pretending to be women, with no regard for womens and girls' right to privacy, dignity and safety. The man is a 24 carat buffoon.

You’re opinions aren’t backed by any statistics.

You’re an ideologue.

On the contrary, they are indeed backed by all statistics, by violence against women in gender neutral change rooms, and by prison data. You're an ideologue who is pushing a Mens Rights agenda, and like Golden, not even hiding it.

I doubt that'll make any difference to a Farage shill.

But it would certainly make a difference to a Greens voting Mens Rights shill.

How naive are you, of course economic independence or the lack of it. I.e. poverty, can cause women to be trapped with men that do indeed rape them, abuse them and sadly sometimes murder them. This is far more of an issue than gender ideology. But what do you care? You already have a mortgage and employment (retirement?). 😐

If those women are not able to participate in society or in the workforce, they are trapped in poverty. But I know that is somehow you are not able to critically think about.

Have you finished with your stream of invective- 'male activist' is this a double bluff? Is anyone that disagrees with you a man. Your position on all mainstream left wing, liberal and centre left parties is pushing women towards voting against their own interests, towards the calvacade of right wing tub thumpers but I expect you know that.

Women’s rights is a number one issue for most women. And the Green Party are throwing them under a bus. It’s the Greens Party who are forcing former voters (like me) to look elsewhere. I must admit though I did vote for them when their main concern was environmental issues rather than laughably poor student-level economic policies and political misogyny, which was obviously a long time ago.

Again, your comprehension skills need working on. I didn't state you were in bed with Farage (are you?) I clearly stated your obsession with this issue is pushing women away from mainstream to fascism so well done as we know they have a great record for women's rights!

The gaslighting and DARVO and cognitive dissonance is astounding. It is YOUR and the Greens' obsession with this issue that is DRIVING WOMEN TO VOTE FARAGE! Take some responsibility for your own actions!!

Absolutely. Dems own private internal polling company, BluePrint2024, showed that Trans Ideology/womens rights was the third major reason women voted for Trump. There is a reason Trump ran the 'Kamala is for They/Them' ad 10 times more in swing states than other ads.

Edited

So American women voted for a convicted criminal who openly says he ‘likes to ‘grab women by the pussy’ and at that point (even before the Epstein files) had been accused at least 24 times of sexual assault/rape in order to protect women’s rights?

Hmm.

I do think safe spaces for women is an issue but overall, as a woman, looking at all the issues that affect us, I feel much, much safer with the left wing parties.

Don't be silly.

If anyone's being pushed towards right-wing parties, that is the fault of the parties who are throwing women under the bus, by wilful attempts to dismantle women's rights, prioritising sad men, and refusing to listen when women point out the blindingly obvious problems with their policies.

No individual is under any obligation to vote for parties they disagree with, who fail to stand up for their interests. That includes women. We're not obliged to vote for misogynistic politicians or parties. Indeed, it would be immoral of us to do so.

It is the responsibility of each party to offer polices that are attractive to voters.

If it's so crucial for women to vote for the left-wing parties, why are the left-wing parties failing to offer policies that protect their rights?

BobbieTables · 08/02/2026 22:42

Well we'll have to agree to differ, as I don't think that a load of autistic teenagers (or the odd middle aged person) expressing their gender identities is equivalent to hating women. And Zac Polanski being accepting of that, certainly would not stop me from voting for the green party.
We don't all have to vote the same way.

When you tell women who are victims of rape, dv and sexual abuse - actually even women who haven't experienced any of that - that we must accept fully intact males in our spaces where we are vulnerable and in a state partial/fully undress, then I consider that being hateful towards women and our needs and rights.

So you aren't going to vote for anyone then? So if your lack of vote ensures a Reform victory how will you feel when we are forced to be Trad wives.

Well hopefully when the waters rise all of the TERFs on here will be overjoyed on their biological women only rafts congratulating themselves on sticking it to the Green Party

As opposed to you Mens Rights Activists being overjoyed that rape and dv survivors have nowhere to change without fully intact males in our spaces exposing their penises to us? Or male crimes being listed as female crimes and skewing the data making it meaningless? Or being overjoyed that girls abandon sport because there is no point training hard and sacrificing for years just for a male to steal their medal?

Yours is a Mens Rights Movement agenda that sees women as second (or rather third) class citizens and support animals to men.

Will you be happy when most women self-exclude from participating in society and returning to the Urinary Leash?

Also nothing anyone has said on this thread has yet explained why Zack Polanski apparently hates women 🤷🏼‍♀️.

Suggesting women should not have our hard won sex based rights is pure hatred.

And yet millions of women felt differently. Because in pushing back on transwomen taking over women spaces he was protecting women’s rights in a way that the democrats weren’t. Staggering that the democrats could be this stupid but hey ho. Can someone tell the Lib Dem’s? I’d never vote Green again because I’ve grown up a lot since then, but if the LibDems withdrew they made stance and offered women a full apology I’d love to be able to vote for them again.

If people do vote Reform in, you need to take personal responsibility for pushing feminists to vote for Reform because you utterly abandoned womens rights and took a dump on the headstones of our foremother feminists.

This is your fault. And on some level deep down I believe you know that.

At least they are allowing Lib Dem women to have a fringe meeting at their Conference this year, for the first time i think.

If my lack of vote ends up in a Reform victory(!), how will Labour, LibDems and the Greens feel, knowing they could have captured many, many more votes from women, but chose instead to prioritise the 0.5% over the 51%?

How will you feel, knowing you wasted your energies trying to hector women into voting against their interests, instead of demanding that the parties do the decent thing?
