Newsnight they are talking about rape laws anyone watching

[NiceTabard]

No salient arguments so far rape victims are getting clobbered. They need a FWR Mner on there

Argh the women on this panel aren't shining with glory tonight.

We're all equal now, though, innit?

Sadly Tabard there are plenty of women joining in the fight to reverse advantages hard won, as the deeply depressing thread on declaring an intention to TTC to potential employers, and consequent remarks on selfish women who take their legal entitlement amply demonstrate

Tbh, I don't really care about the women on the panel. The ones I want to hear never get a platform, anyway. It doesn't matter how articulate you are, they only want yes-women or Katie Hopkins.

Rapists don't listen to them anyway. They just might, however, find yet another reason to continue seeing that they have a green light to continue their rapey ways if they know they have other men fighting their corner.

There are times I think separatists have the right idea

Didn't watch it. Saw it on Twitter though. I always watch Question Time through the filter of Twitter . Saves on the blood pressure

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I don't think it's a coincidence though that it seems to be only men who have "confusion around sexual etiquette" or problems with consent.

Sense of entitlement...

Can;t have quotas because you'd never have a quote for gay people or asian people.

yes because in UK society women are 10% or less of the population.

Oooh here we go

it discriminates against men to have all women shortlists

wow he hates women doesn;t he.

tessa is doing a shit job

do i take a gun to my own head

or buy one to take out that panel

answers on a postcard

i have had a bot wine so almost not joking

Yes tabard, he really does hate women. A true misogynist.

And yes, Tessa was disappointingly crap.

He's a cock

Dimbleby was quite dismissive of her though. In that white males stick together type of way.

David Starkey is an arse. I'm too apoplectic to string anything more coherent together.

just

it's fine. it's OK.

we just need to keep at it.

Yy apoplectic is the word - perhaps the worst qt I have ever heard and that's saying something

WTF and shakes head

It is like living in an out of phase parallel dimension sometimes

Now listening to 5 live follow up programme - glutton for punishment!

That's what the average jury thinks, though, isn't it?

And that's why all of those lurking on these boards really need to get out there and get their voice heard, even if it's just on an AIBU thread. We cannot let the Starkeys of this world set the tone for OUR justice system or, indeed, our society. Because it's ours too.

It's our world, just as much as the middle-aged white man.

It was all about imaginary discrimination against men. White men at that.

No privilege there at all. None.

Well said Debris.

Yeah I think that every time I look at the House of Commons. Those poor white men - so under represented

Yeah it's shocking.

Everyone who isn't a white man needs to work hard to correct this injustice.
