Women on the left are responsible for austerity

[CarrotyO]

I've heard it said that women on the left actually support and are therefore in some way responsible for austerity. This is because both Labour and the Tories support austerity. Therefore any woman who supports Labour, or the Left in general, also knowingly and consciously supports austerity and are therefore also responsible for the 1000s of deaths of disabled people caused by austerity. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Can I bond over trans furry bisons too? Pretty please?

Can we start with hunting something smaller and less likely to have a perv with a deviantart account hiding behind it?

Hmm, I can find an article talking about reintroduction of bison to the UK, but according to wiki (no, admittedly not the best source), European bison never made it here...?

Like I could maybe hunt the wild pygymy goats if I was hungry enough. Except goats are cute.

I'm going to be a bit shit at this unless we're near the coast and I can learn how to fish.

Silly. Just get some cows to identify as bison.

I will subsist on slugs.

Goats are bastards. They're forever headbutting you. I say this as a person who has several smallholding friends who keep goats. Perils of a rural life.

I propose that we milk the goats and "hunt" for fish, since I'm not sentimentally attached to those.

(Awaits lecture about, well, who knows, I'm sure there will be something.)

*Do you have any evidence of this? Had Lisa provided any?'

Lisa has specifically said on here (did you miss that?), she is not interested in going there, as she does not want to derail WPUK, which she thinks is in principle a good thing*

Right. So she is smearing someone and undermining a campaign group in this critical time without providing any evidence to back up her claims.

And your evidence for calling posie/mners racist is...?

If you could also explain why you implied that Dragon didn't want women to be empowered that would be great too. Thanks!

Would people prefer that high profile people on the left didnt take part in this fight? Is it only right wing people that we want to attract to this issue?

I talked about empowering girls so they can assert their boundaries leading to a fall in the birth rate - as they are no longer being forced through unwanted pregnancies.

Dragon said she thought that was blaming women for overpopulation and that a better solution was vasectomies for men.

And that means that Dragon doesn't want women to be empowered (with bonus sarkiness and condescension) why, exactly?

She was proposing a different solution. She didn’t like my solution.

I think it’s weird to argue against that

No one likes your solution, it sounds a bit final.

Evidence shows that the biggest factor in dropping the birth rate is teaching girls to read. That tiny bit of power makes a huge difference. You don’t like that solution?

To disabled me, it sounds especially Final.

Unless you think I actually should subsist on slugs?

What reading will girls do in a Hunter-gather society? Who will be writing?

Helpful suggestion! Perhaps if you tried coming across as a bit less Jesus preaching to the heathens and a bit more peer to peer you might find discussion would flow more smoothly.

Now we’re back to my political view that we should allow wildlife and plant life, woodlands and grasses to flourish, and you interpret that as me suggesting you should eat slugs?

There is such a core thread of nastiness running through this thread.

Speaking of Jesus, how will religion work in this society? Will patriarchal religion exist at all?

Patriarchal religions arose and developed at a very specific part of human history. The history of god by Karen Armstrong describes this very well.

Thank you, that does sound interesting. But doesn't really answer my question.
