Jo Cox women in leadership should just change its name

[CosmicCanary]

To, Jo Cox anyone who decides they are a women in leadership.

Apparently their tag line is

The Jo Cox Women in Leadership Programme is a training programme for passionate and experienced women members who are ready to lead in the Labour Party.

The Labour party hate women. They dont want them in leadership roles. They dont value womens opinions and voices.

After 22 years as a labour party member I have cancelled my membership.

Barracker you should be a proof reader.

[OneHourTwentyFourMinutes]

'Mo' Cocks; no women in leadership' programme

Yes that seems to be the agenda, Brosocialists don't like women.

[BarrackerBarmer]

Could it be a typo?

It reads 'Jo Cox; more women in leadership' programme

but I think it's meant to be

'Mo' Cocks; no women in leadership' programme

[thebewilderness]

It is labour installing transgender identified males as women's officer and giving awards designed for women to transgender identified males that gives the lie to those who claim an all male panel made up of men and transgender identified males cannot happen.
Labour is putting on a demonstration of how to conform to the letter of the law while violating the spirit and all ethical considerations.

I didn’t understand the shadowbans thing so I just googled ‘twitter shadowban feminist’:

This came up, with complaints about ‘transphobic’ feminists activity (ie sending some gender critical tweets) being blamed for causing Twitter problems.

I thought this tweet was excellent

"A graduate of the programme wrote in 2017 “Where once we would have been scared to be viewed as “bossy” or “difficult” because that’s what we had been conditioned to think; we now feel confident in speaking up”. This relates to female socialisation not transwomen"

Juells there's an article here which is helpful re shadowbanning:

"Twitter Announces More Shadow Banning For Those Having A ‘Negative Impact’"
(extract)
"When Twitter’s software decides that a certain user is “detract[ing] from the conversation,” all of that user’s tweets will be hidden from search results and public conversations until their reputation improves. And they won’t know that they’re being muted in this way; Twitter says it’s still working on ways to notify people and help them get back into its good graces. In the meantime, their tweets will still be visible to their followers as usual and will still be able to be retweeted by others. They just won’t show up in conversational threads or search results by default…

You’ve heard of Twitter jail? Let’s call this Twitter purgatory.

All of this shadow banning will be handled by an algorithm, meaning who gets banned will depend mostly on the reactions of other people. "

The comments are extraordinary. It really highlights how little we get away with on here.

Juells

There are some excellent comments from women on there aren't there? Rather akin to the well-reasoned ones we have here

[Juells]

Now also shadow bans

I saw a remark on that thread about shadow bans, but I don't understand how they work. I could see the tweet.

[MaybeDoctor]

What a travesty of the original intention of the programme.

The person in question might be a perfectly lovely, meritorious and deserving individual, but they do not belong on that particular programme. Any more than Rachel Dolezal should have been awarded a scholarship for BME students (iirc). A trans-specific programme, yes. A programme for women, who have come up through the education system and workplace as women, no.

[R0wantrees]

It's all about silencing women. If a women so much as accidentally misgenders there is a pile on , doxxing, Twitter bans.

Now also shadow bans, see SwearyG's comment:
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3266050-ManFriday-article-in-the-Daily-Mail

Apparently ManFriday twitter account and other women involved are also shadow banned now too.

[ChattyLion]

Is it training being provided or is it political advocacy/lobbying?

[Sarahconnor1]

Juells

Yes and the blokey comments are very much calling a spade a spade, no skirting around issue just very very blunt.

It's all about silencing women. If a women so much as accidentally misgenders there is a pile on , doxxing, Twitter bans.

[KathyBeale]

I just feel so weary that this is essentially another middle-aged white man being rewarded. Like Caitlyn Jenner doing that C4 talk. It’s not diversity or helping minorities or anything like that. It’s just the same.

You know that Who song that says “meet the new boss, same as the old boss”? I keep getting that going round and round in my head.

Not satisfied with her death by male violence Labour leadership have decided to humiliate Jo Cox further by giving an award in her name to a transgender identified male.

[Juells]

What is a POS?

Piece of shit

[Moonkissedlegs]

The comments on twitter about this are so heartening though. People are finally beginning to see that the Emperor is stark bollock naked.

[OneHourTwentyFourMinutes]

What is a POS?

[Juells]

What's really sad about that twitter thread on the Jo Cox awards is that none of the actual women are getting any attention, people (men, mostly) are having too much fun making jokey comments like 'isn't that a bloke?' :(

No-one calls them on that, but the handmaids pile in when a woman makes a perfectly reasonable remark, call her a POS and a terf.

[TERFragetteCity]

Just goes to show that when you transition you don't stop mansplaining

So true.

[trumpdump]

Is it bad that I'd love a Danielle Muscato type character to turn up to one of these things? The picture would be priceless, and probably quite historic!

[WTFareLeadersThinking]

The young labour WO on the south coast doesn't wear a dress, I normally see that person in a pink hoody.

[OhGrrr]

Oh, I know, Terfs. It's just that sometimes it just hits you.

It's as though someone thinks the Jo Cox awards are for 'people who wear dresses' because there's something about dresses specifically that disadvantage people and not that it's about 'women' at all.

[TransplantsArePlants]

"When there is no low that won't be sunk to in order to justify an ideology you should at least look into it. Except sexism is so much older and so very entrenched that it's easier to dismiss Rachel Dolezal and accept Sophie Cook"


I love that comment
