Are there ANY political parties that stand for women?

[PerverseConverse]

I am a woman. I am a woman who feels threatened by men invading private spaces, I am worried for my young daughters being exposed to all this brainwashing woke shite, I'm worried for the future of women and society as a whole. Who will stand for me politically as a woman? I was briefly a labour supporter after a late in life interest in politics but don't feel I can support a party who don't support me and my rights as a woman. I am politically homeless now and am angry that my right to vote is negated by the lack of a party who will stand for women. Is there a party out there that's prepared to stand up for women, stand up against the brainwashing, stand up against the oppression of women, stand up against a society that's going backwards? Is there a party who is brave enough to tackle the issues head on and not be afraid to call out the misogynists who now have a new stick with which to beat us?

No. Sorry. Some people will tell you that UKIP don't support this bollocks. But UKIP is hardly a friend to women in most other regards.

No.
So many politically homeless women in this country....it's criminal.

No.

Join the politically homeless cardboard box city with the rest of us. We're quite nice.

No.

nope, I'd start one if i wasn't so knackered and was healthy

No. Given that the name ‚women‘s party‘ is taken ( by people centering males) it might be worth founding an adult human females‘ party.

No - politically homeless

nope

Also in the cardboard city of the politically homeless.

There is, actually, the Women's Equality party, founded by Sandi Toksvig. And that is just about all I know about it. :)

Here is the Wikipedia link for it: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_Equality_Party

The Women's Equality Party say trans women are women, so no.

Nope. Hereitisnow WEP don't stand for women either, sadly.

Nope.

Well I'm depressed now. Deciding who to vote for at the next election is going to be dreary.

If you live in a marginal seat where the MP is hanging on by the skin of their teeth, and a rival is already building up support to topple them - you have some leverage. You say to both sides:
"Not only will I not vote for your party, but I will actively campaign against you, amongst my friends, neighbours, colleagues and networks, in this constituency. I will tell them to vote for X (where X is their rival)"

In marginals, every vote counts for the ambitious prospective MP and the loss of votes is a worry for the sitting MP.

No.

Has there ever been? Has there ever been any men who don't view women as an exploitable resource? Really?

No. It's become increasingly apparent that none of them do.

Agree

The WEP is unable to be clear on the fact that people with XY chromosomes and a penis are not women. So that's a NO too.

Another one, politically homeless.

I recently unsubscribed from the Momentum newsletter when they made a big deal out of some trans issue or another. I just wish they’d had a box to say why I’m unsubscribing.

I’m fucking sick of this shit.

I read (or glanced at) an article that said several new centre ground parties are forming or being resurrected as the main ones have moved further left/right and lib-dem is wasted.

No idea who they are. Will try and have a hunt for the article. May be worth checking what their policies are.

I wish a centre ground party would get going and pledge to beef up sex-based exemptions in the EA 2010.

I had high hopes for the Whigs a couple of years ago, they seemed to be what people were looking for. But they have disappeared off the face of the earth.

Mind you, I suspect they would have been all for self id, As their buzz word was "progressive". Which isn't a bad thing in its self, but 'progressive' is how self id is sold without question.

WEP is currently in a state of flux with regards to this issue - it is grossly unfair to claim WEP ‘centres males’. At our conference this weekend we openly held a debate on legal self-ID, and from being in the room there really is a pretty much 50-50 split, there are strong voices in the party both for and against. We are the only party having this debate and asking members what they think rather than imposing policy on our members. It is now being worked out how to take this as a consultation to all of our members. Gender critical voices are being listened to, and our leader Sophie Walker spoke strongly on the subject that it is not transphobic to ask questions, and that women’s sex-based rights must not be compromised. In my own local branch I am still welcome despite my views being known and still work alongside other women who are pro self-ID, because we are all grown ups and can disagree without coming to blows. Better than welcome I have been actively supported, to be honest. There is 100% a place in WEP for us gender critical women, if you wanted to join and be part of the consultation on the issue then do.

I should point out that conference was not all about GRA, nowhere near, there were exciting speeches/debates/motions on Brexit, scrapping UC, strip clubs, education, equal healthcare, parenting/caregiving, party structure and more that I can’t remember right now.

A progressive party could offer to protect women and girls - with all the evidence of how we are vulnerable to abuse and disadvantage then that would still be a progressive position. They could offer to genuinely review how the GRA works with the EA with a view to balancing rights between different groups. They could offer to better support people with sex dysphoria bt not rolling back on their health care with self ID.

There are many ways in which a new party could present themselves as progressive and still win votes. Brexit is the trickier issue for them but if they nailed they offered a vote on the final deal then they would pick up alot of votes.

I've voted Labour before but am reluctant to now.
WEP gave me hope, but this issue of men being women is a deal breaker for me. I can barely believe we have got to the position that defining a woman is controversial.
