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.

Why do you keep referencing 'voting for Maga' if you are not American and the issue is British politics? You are making very little sense.

Misogynists rarely do make sense.

@Goldenbear is just another handmaiden MRA telling women who stand up for themselves “STFU nobody cares”

What tickles me is that this woman Hater thinks they are going to be the person to convince us all we are just silly wimmin hand wringing over nothing. Well, we have eaten much much smarter people than you for breakfast, 100 times over. The fact your weapon of choice is “Farage supporter!” Is frankly just giving us all a right good laugh.

Essentially, all your argument appears to be is, you don't think like me so you aren't a woman, what am I supposed to be grasping here as I can't see any original thoughts only the manifestations of your retirement project! Like I said, some of us younger ones have a bit more to worry about.

We really should have started a bingo card

You assume we are old women…therefore our opinions are invalid? God you REALLY hate women don’t you. And nobody said you were a man? But you a very clearly a men’s rights activist. And then you accuse US of being aligned with Farage. Hilarious

I think you’ll find the young are totally over this gender shite too. Have you asked any secondary school kids about this recently? They’ll sigh and roll their eyes. They were all aboard about 5 years ago when it was cool. Now they just want to pee in peace and not play football with weirdos in their ‘girls’ team.

So true. As we knew it would, it has come full circle: I have a DD in year 8, her and her mates take the piss out of the whole identifying thing. She often identifies as being lazy if she wants me to fetch her a cuppa.

I'm not into this gender shite, that's literally my argument, keep up!

Caring about men dressed as women what not have stopped the man who assaulted me, he was very much a man.

How do you feel about the women raped by men in dresses who had to refer in court as their realist as “she”

FMLGFastMovingLuxuryGoods · 09/02/2026 23:14

Goldenbear · 09/02/2026 20:02

Where have I lied? You are just making things up as you clearly are pretty arrogant and don't like being told you are wrong.

Well for a start you said I called you hysterical when I didn’t

Why would you expect me to feel anything other than complete sympathy.

Why would you expect me to feel anything other than complete sympathy.

And yet - you don’t think that preventing this kind of thing is important?

As a rape victim I care very much about other women not being raped and will do just about anything to stop it. Including fighting so that women don’t have to share safe spaces with predatory men. And yet you can’t wrap your head around why women care about that - you just throw insults (off the top of my head we have Farage/Kemi/Maga supporter, narcissists, thick, hairy handed).

I’ll ask again - why as a woman don’t you care about women’s safety? Because if we allow men in women’s spaces, we hugely compromise their safety

My whole argument is that people don't think about gender ideology and gender identity as it is not the issue that impacts their daily lives. This issue of gender identity is perceived as 'extreme', it is just not a priority for the mainstream voter. Any rational women voter would not vote against their own interests and a swing to the extreme right, (unbelievable that people are using some pretzel logic to justify the Maga vote) is just that. It's all very well stating you are politically homeless but trashing the ECHR, not admitting to the moral and practical hazards of doing so, certainly isn't the opinion of someone who is politically homeless, disassembling anything resembling belief and promoting cynicism around other Green policies like Environmental concerns- concerns that have shockingly being dismissed as insignificant on this thread, is straight from the fascist playbook..we all know what women's rights look like under that, why pretend otherwise!

Where's the evidence he hates women? I've not seen that.

He's the only political leader I've seen getting traction with the message that the rich are getting richer, and running many of our services into the ground, while the rest of us feel the pinch.

I think that's a message worth broadcasting and getting behind, and I wish more politicians were on our side and saying the same thing.

We need politicians who are willing to hold corporations and services to account, properly.

He's nowhere near government at the moment so I'm less bothered by his economic know how (or lack thereof). Of course if and when they get closer to power the Greens would need a fully costed plan.

Not that I'm confident in any other party economically - the Tories were a disaster, not sure things are much better with Labour and Reform based on their councils (and Brexit campaigning rhetoric) are willing to outright lie about spending and savings.

He's telling gullible people what they want to hear.

He has no intention of taking on the rich - fat chance.
He wants to be rich and powerful himself and has decided to say whatever it takes to get enough people to vote him into power.
He cares for no-one but himself and probably despises women but is happy to manipulate them for his own advancement.

Any man who trains to be a hypnotist is suspect from the start.
One that takes money from moronically stupid women trying to increase their bust size through hypnosis, is a complete charlatan and leopards don't change their spots, ever.

Anyone who believes a single word that comes out of this snake-oil salesman's mouth is either willfully naive or completely lacking any critical thinking skills.

Of course it impacts day to day lives. The safety of all women and girls is at risk every day, and if you think women don’t care about that I assume you must never speak to any? I don’t know a single woman unconcerned with female safety.

And once again that’s a whole lot of assumptions with no source for back up. You keep insisting voters don’t care about women’s rights to single sex spaces. Where your proof? Because you’re very wrong.

And the stuff about Trump is true, factual. Women voted for him largely on gender issues. You not liking it doesn’t make it untrue

There you are again calling people banal names - it it’s a shame you haven’t answered my question of why you aren’t more concerned about women’s safety?

But please do explain - how does caring about women’s rights and single sex spaces make someone a fascist? I’m not sure you know what that word means?

Can you also tell me who said environmental concerns were insignificant? Because I think you’re telling porkies again

Where did I state I didn't care about women's safety? Where did I state that safe places for women shouldn't exist? I didn't, I answered the thread title, this is not the feminist topic area, I was discussing my opinions on the appeal of the Greens. Focusing all your energy on a battle over gender identity is not going to be the best use of your time in the face of the extreme right, who are not exactly known for prioritising equal rights for women.

A mens rights activist because I don't agree with you. You certainly don't sound old and wise. That was in response to a specific poster who os incredibly patronising.

You have repeatedly said you don’t care about gender idealogy. But that very idealogy compromises women’s safety every day and has directly resulted in women being raped. You have been told this. Does it not alarm you?

You keep shiteing on about the extreme right - well actually to me and many of us, the real threat is the extreme left. Like the greens and you. At least the far right are open with their hatred for women and Jewish people. I know I can avoid them. The far left however dress up as progressive and caring but they hate women and Jewish people every tiny bit as much as the far right. They tell women to STFU, they let the harrasment of Jewish people not only go unchecked but they encourage it. They are as extreme as Reform, they’re just crap liars when they say they care.

No, an MRA because you behave just the same as MRAs. Name calling, telling women their voices and views aren’t important and shouting them down with pathetic insults when they deign to say “We won’t tolerate this”. Not to mention, like how MRAs see older women as invisible, you have assumed we are all old therefore insignificant and should bow down to your apparent younger self. Your hatred is very obvious even if you don’t mean it to be

floppybit · 10/02/2026 00:17

If you are interested in finding a non-batshit party to vote for who will protect women’s rights and don’t think a man can turn into a woman have a look at the SDP. Worth having a listen to some podcast interviews with their leader, William Clouston.

LifeInTheWind · 10/02/2026 00:23

I’m genuinely waiting to hear what the left-of-centre parties are actually doing about this, @Goldenbear.

So far, the right are rolling back women’s reproductive rights, and the left (Greens, Labour, Lib Dems etc) are rolling back women’s sex class rights.

I’m politically homeless.

FMLGFastMovingLuxuryGoods · 10/02/2026 00:24

Not to mention @Goldenbear that many payers on this thread have presented you with compelling data, facts and lived experience demonstrating exactly why women care about the issue you say “no one cares about”

At no point have you listened to them. Or taken anything on board. You have instead thrown out insults, made pithy jibes and bizarre accusation about being a MAGA supporter.

Your total refusal to accept the fact that actually many women do really care about single-sex spaces would be admirable if it wasn’t so ridiculous

sleepwouldbenice · 10/02/2026 00:32

Again I am finding this confusing
I am not going to repeat my personal views about believing that the impact of the trans rights issue went too far but is in the process of being corrected. Hence why I feel that the issues regarding other women's rights are the biggest threat at present
Although @Goldenbear has been more viciferous in their views, I can't see that they have said that the woens soace issue isn't important... But they've said that other womens issues are a bigger threat.
Is that really so bad? Surely we all think all these issues are important, and all should be fought for?
If not its very odd IMO..

Edited

Surely, you know allowing me my opinion is the actions of a MRA? Women's rights are not just gender Identity but equally I didn't and have never said safe spaces for women should not exist. My concern is with not trashing the ECHR and liberal democracies as this won't serve to help women at all!

I'm just a voter, I'm not a member of the Green party, I'm really not sure what they (the left) can do to convince you of their credentials. You will have to work that out for yourself.
