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.

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

No I haven't, I was responding specifically to a patronising poster so wrongly played up on the age thing, I'm afraid it was as ill thought out as that not anything behind it. I'm no spring chicken but I can't afford to not worry.

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!

Denying facts and shouting down women are the actions of an MRA.

Nobody said gender ideology is the only important issue but it IS important and affects all women - something you have continuously denied.

The EHCR poses absolutely no benefit to women.

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..

Yes, this is what I am trying to argue, the focus needs to be broader IMO.

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.

They can’t convince us of Credentials that interest women because they have none

Please quote me on where I stated anything about single sex spaces.

you have literally said nobody cares about gender ideology or sees it as a threat - this ideology is a direct threat to single sex spaces.

Have you considered anything gender critical women have said on this thread?

You are shouting down me - a woman for having a different opinion. You are making up stuff to fit your wrong assumptions about me. I don't agree that trashing the ECHR is not a worrying prospect- please don't shout me down for having that opinion.

You have constantly name called over the last 2 days.

Not you can’t afford no to worry and a big worry you SHOULD have is men and how they treat women. But it seems it’s not at all on your agenda?

Gender identity as a topic of concern is not realistically on the voting public's radar and you said yourself that your teens are over it or something like that. There are bigger problems to worry about with regards to women's rights.

Well if you have taken from my posts that I don't worry then you have really misunderstood my position and there isn't I can say to alter that so on that note I am off.

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.

This.

Maybe you’d find it less “confusing” if you read all Golden’s posts to other people, how silly, goady, abusive and dismissive many of them are.

You see for me their adherence to gender ideology and the idea that a woman can have a penis is like the Green Party saying they’ll hand over 10% of the UK budget every year to the Guardian, or the SNP handing 10% to the National, or the Tories saying they’ll hand 10% over to the Telegraph and then these parties asking you to focus on their other policies. There are no other policies you CAN look at because they’ve got a screamingly ridiculous one that bars you from ever voting for them. That’s what it’s like for so many women.

We’re not phobic of trans women. They’re men though and should be treated as all other men and barred from women’s single sex spaces for reasons of privacy, safety and dignity. It’s that simple.

Perfectly put. They’re every bit as mad as Reform.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 10/02/2026 02:01

Anyway, hopefully the silly merail is over. Polanski is a buffoon, and an apologist for male violence.

If you really dont believe the pendulum is swinging the other way and all these issues will be dealt with, then that's your perogative. I have seen plenty of change in the right direction. A way to go? Yes, but it will happen.
The other issues mentioned are getting worse/ under threat. I choose to prioritise them.
Insulting people for having this view doesn't help your cause

Women putting in the hard work, speaking up, going to court, the FWS and many others, some doing donations great personal cost have made that pendulum swing.

It didn’t just happen, plenty of men and vested interests would gladly wring it back again and are still working on that.

A party such as the Greens could easily make changes to let that happen.

They will take votes from Labour which is fine but hopefully not be decision makers on this at any point, nor make any dangerous decisions on NATO etc.

No you are wrong. I don't like bullies and I was reacting in kind. I have an opinion that I like what the Green party's other policies are highlighting namely wealth inequality and the environment. I added that the gender Identity issue does not have anything on the damage an extreme right wing government could do to women's rights, on that basis I don't believe we should leave the ECHR and that's exactly what those who don't want liberal democracies anymore are endorsing. You et al. did not like my opinion on preserving Liberal democracies and that the far right are the biggest threat to women's rights - 'you ain't seen nothing yet' if you think otherwise! I am entitled to share my opinion without an onslaught of abuse and I won't be shouted down. You don't agree I get it but at the end of the day MN isn't your own personal chat forum and you're going to have accept that I'm afraid.

I like many others who have mainstream opinions want to preserve Liberal Democracies. This is not an unconventional and off the wall opinion. Maybe question how far down the rabbit hole you have gone if you think it is!!

Ereshkigalangcleg · 10/02/2026 07:45

You were the abusive one. Calling people “shills”, “collective thick” etc.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 10/02/2026 02:00

You think that and yet you are echoing the political line of the Reform party on this issue. By doing that you are making them appear reasonable. They are not reasonable, they are anti democratic!

Ereshkigalangcleg · 10/02/2026 07:45

Shill is not abusive, it's a factual description. Collective thick was nothing compared to the bullying that as a group you feel emboldened to direct at one poster because they want to preserve Liberal Democracies. I was called a 'sociopath' (It was deleted by MN) and a liar about my own assault. I stated it didn't define me that is why it is not relevant but this was not an acceptable response apparently, there's only one way to process his happening to you.

I'm not going to be told not to have an opinion on highlighting the attack on Liberal Democracies your line of thinking is risking. You don't like it but you have to accept it!

Ereshkigalangcleg · 10/02/2026 08:04

It is a slur. It’s not a factual description because none of the people you levelled it at said they were supporters of the Tories or Reform. Stop lying about people.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 10/02/2026 08:05

And actually don’t bother, I don’t care about anything you have to say, I’ll wait until there is someone worth engaging with.

Shill means someone is being paid to promote online. It’s not a factual description at all but one uses by pro Labour a lot on here. You shouldn’t accuse pp with this for having different views to your own.

And the thicko stuff yes is an attempt at an insult.

Not a slur if factually correct. I am highlighting it to them then and anyone reading as their opinions, their political outpours are straight out of the extreme right handbook! People questioning P's use of his name, pretending that it's synonymous with a rapist, rather than a family Jewish name, it is shockingly offensive and extreme right tactics.

Extreme right sympathies is damaging to Liberal democracies, you aren't going to shout me down about that.
