Polanski is a buffoon

[Bertiebiscuit]

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.

*snort.

I need to learn not to drink anything when reading on here. That, was truly gold...

I don’t think they’re invited, they’re probably welcome to come but i doubt they will want to participate in good faith, only if they can disrupt I imagine.

So collective thick is the way to go - partying over voting into power the lovers of the trad wife, being an obedient baby factory, a life of domestic servitude with no abortion rights and a label of "Childless Cat Lady" if you don't sign up for this?

Exactly. Yes, I accept that I do agree with Farage, Kemi and Trump on this issue. However, I’m not gender critical because of anything they say, but because I'm Mum to 2 DDs, and I'm also a CSA survivor and the availability of female safe places matters to me.

The fact that right wing politicians say the same thing, for their own reasons (not because they care about women, is irrelevant to me. After all, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

You tell us, you're the one who wants women to self-exclude from participating in the workforce/society. What else do you call that, if not a trad wife?

A lot of traditional democrats just didn’t vote. As a woman if I was in the US I just couldn’t have voted for democrats. They’ve shown total disregard for women’s rights, and what you don’t seem to understand is that that is the qualifier for the short list of who to vote for for many women. The democrats didn’t qualify.

do you account for the survivors of rape, dv and sexual abuse who are not transphobic?

Calling women transphobic because they want to retain single sex based spaces and sports is so 2023. You need to come up with a new shite insult. That one is embarrassing now.

Define 'transphobic'? Defending the rights of the female sex is not 'twwannnsphobic'. 'Transphobic' is just another word by femphobes and misogynists to call feminists 'anti men'. If you were to say I am menphobic or malephobic, you would be closer to being right.

Why would their personal beliefs about gender identity ideology be relevant? The fact of there being a single sex space available is the important thing. Or do you think a few women who are happy, for whatever reason, for a self selecting group of men to use women’s spaces somehow cancel out the wishes of those who are not?

Totally agree with that quote. Sadly I have two daughters in their 40s who don't agree with me. Where did I go wrong with them 🤔

collective thick

What an excellent term this is! So apt for the actions of the Democrats, Labour, Lib Dems and Greens. Incredibly fitting description of those parties who are too irredeemably stupid to realise that alienating 51% of your voter base isn’t the brightest strategy.

That said, it’s limited in scope, and doesn’t cover quite how disgustingly vile it is for any political party to plot to take away women’s rights. Quite how mendacious and immoral the conduct has been requires its own description, of course. But as a descriptor for the sheer stupidity of their actions, it does fit nicely.

I’m not seeing the issue here - are you saying they’d be so desperate for cock in their rape survivor support groups that they’d refuse to attend a female-only group?

Where did you get the 51% from?

My goodness what you don't understand is U.S. style politics is not something to be imported!

The female sex is 50-51% of the population.

My goodness, WHEN are you going to understand that WOMENS RIGHTS is not solely a US issue?!???

51% of electorate being women, perhaps

Possibly, but not necessarily, and not likely in my opinion.

Saying you voted for a party because of woman’s rights sounds a lot better than saying you voted out of self interest, because they will uphold capitalism and existing structures in a way that serves you.

Trump (a man who is a clear and obvious danger to woman) capitalised on an issue that would give women a ‘worthy’ reason to vote for him. Farage is using the same playbook of course.

Not saying this applies to everyone who votes this way and but I do think it’s a significant factor.

As others have already kindly pointed out, woman make up 50-51% of the population.

Our votes DO matter, even if the parties of misogyny think they can do without them.

Did you really just say that traumatised women who have survived rape, dv or sexual abuse are transphobic for not wanting men in their spaces just because said men might wear a dress?

you didn't really just say that did you?

Not saying much there. Sad that a cult is springing up around him. Hope he peaks and falls away quite soon, but those on the left that don't like Labour need an out. I suspect as and when Labour sort themselves out (if ever) he will drop away.

If the left hadn't abandoned womens rights and allowed the right to opportunistically pick it up, it wouldn't have happened. Once again, the left caused this. And the left is solely responsible for Trump's election and Reform's apparent popularity. It would be good if the left could do some introspection and accept responsibility. But they will never, ever accept responsibility. Feminists leaving the will always be 'someone else's fault'. The left that abandoned women will never accept responsibility for the consequences for their actions. They will never say sorry.

You write well. Thank you.

The Libs Dems’ little bit of trouble over Lord Rennard is also being resurrected. How the party handled that and similar matters (and how it treated the female whistleblowers) is indicative of how the party hierarchy really feels about women, some might say.
