Guess how I got suspended from the Labour Party?

Well, one of the weirdest days in my life concluded with me receiving a letter informing me of my immediate suspension from the Labour Party. They believe I may have breached the rules by subverting the intention of All Women Shortlists, Women’s Officers or minimum quotas for women. Unfortunately, this does mean that my political ambitions are on hold for a while. I shall of course be continuing to self-identify as a woman every Wednesday, as that is my gender identity...

I have to say a huge thanks to @namechangeah for all her help, guidance and, more importantly, proof-reading! I wouldn’t have gotten to this point without it. I’d also like to thank everyone for their support today. I hope this has helped a bit.

And the Telegraph called me an “activist”! Achievement unlocked Grin

Yay! You're on your way up David! What's next? Celeb Big Brother? I'm a Celeb...?

I am unspeakably jealous/relieved that WomanWednesday got onto HIGNFY but ManFriday didn’t Grin

News cares more what men do, plus ça change...

Sorry, I meant males not men.
Didn't mean to misgender @IAmDavidLewis (on a Wednesday) Grin

I think we need to get a ridiculous story about women's rights being eroded to HIGNFY each week. Shouldn't be hard - there's so many to choose from.

I'm getting more feminist by the day as I see how we're ignored

I know, quite enlightening isn't it!

I was going with depressing. I haven't the energy to spare on this but it's just too important.

Oh dear. A male family member thinks David did it to protest against women only posts and quotas. As an alleged ex hippy he is becoming incredibly right wing in his views. Think he's always been misogynistic tho. I did put him right but not sure he believed me. It's amazing how any narrative can been twisted to suit ones own beliefs. And sad to see the complete lack of awareness as to how women were and are treated. The victim mentality/fear of loss of status in some men is so strong...

AncientLights · 04/06/2018 11:10

ucantargue that is so right. However low down a man is on the pecking order, ateast he isn't a woman. Unless he so chooses, of course.

Does anyone know how David is getting on with the suspension?
