*Are you new here or something? Literally every politically themed thread descends into an arguement about this sooner or later.
I agree there's a select few posters who don't (or can't) focus on anything else. It doesn't matter if you're trying to discuss school fees, water quality, the post office scandal, brexit, farming, education or health the same few posters crop up and try to derail the thread time and time again.
I'm just surprised it only took 10 posts today, usually it's a few pages in before one of them is alerted.*
Nope not new, especially not to these threads. Just able to understand that women's rights and the ability to say what one is, is very important to a lot of women and they should be allowed to say so on political threads. As it's a political issue.
What you see as a derail others see it as a very valid point. That then trickles down to other important things which affect women. If they (Labour) can't get something as simple as that correct what hope is there for any other issue.
Doesn't mean that it's the ONLY thing they care about or can't focus on anything else. It's a discussion forum. Funny I just see the same posters on thread's about women rights shout other women down time and time again with whataboutery.
