She has just addressed the Stonewall event at Conservative Conferenve.

Thread here:

Given she hasn’t even met with any women’s groups concerned about the clash with their rights, or bothered with even a webchat here to find out what mumsnetters are actually worried about, I find this a rather sinister stance.

Send her the email I suggested in my 'simple mails' thread, featuring Jacinta Brooks and asking her if TWAW, what this paedophile has in common with her.

Penny Mordaunt must be a fall guy, no? She was terrible in her last job and was walked all over by Priti Patel, and she seems to be terrible in this one too. Is she being set up for another job or for the chop?

She’s right, people do need to know what’s happening, just not in the way she thinks.

RepealtheGRA · 02/10/2018 21:14

When will they be producing a 75 point plan on tackling misogyny - the type aimed at cunty women?

Redkeyboard · 02/10/2018 21:16

Education is good. Respecting trans people is good.

I just have no confidence at the moment that the supposed Minister for Women doesn’t mean re-educate females not to say no to penis owners doing whatever the hell they like.

YY

It beggars belief that a woman (not just a not-man) doesn't grasp the issues.

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 02/10/2018 21:16

You're an mp not a teacher Ms Mordaunt. Your job is to represent the public, not re-educate us.

thatdamnwoman · 02/10/2018 21:17

Let's see... Women refused the opportunity to meet and discuss what this change in legislation will mean to them. Critical voices silenced from all angles. Refusal to consult women's organisations and representatives. And now talk about re-educating the public.

This is straight from Stalin's Guide to Making Friends and Influencing People isn't it?

AngryAttackKittens · 02/10/2018 21:17

Funny, I think Penny needs to be reeducated on women's rights.

TallulahWaitingInTheRain · 02/10/2018 21:21

She needs to be re-educated on the role of an elected representative in a democracy

Redkeyboard · 02/10/2018 21:23

And here with picture courtesy of Stonewall, one of the powerful groups who openly lobbied to remove women’s legal rights:

Perhaps she will send us all to the gulags:

I wonder what’s in it for her? Has she forgotten that she’s a women too? Is she one of these ultra privileged women who has never encountered any sexism or misogyny? I doubt it, so back to question 1, what’s in it for her?

Melamin · 02/10/2018 21:32

question 1, what’s in it for her?

A Pink News award? All the girls have them these days.

LangCleg · 02/10/2018 21:35

Oh do fuck off, Penny.

OatsBeansBarley · 02/10/2018 21:38

I immediately thought "gulag". How weird eh?

ParisProperty · 02/10/2018 21:43

I wonder if her brother has discussed this with her?

Imnobody4 · 02/10/2018 21:44

Why don't they just ditch the 'women' from the equalities portfolio.

Redkeyboard · 02/10/2018 21:45

Isn’t it Oats ?

Why don't they just ditch the 'women' from the equalities portfolio.

They need to, it’s become a clear conflict of rights and interests and needs deprecate representation. Biological women need a Minister who represents them and their interests and rights, as against penis owners.

Penny can shove it up her arse.

heresyandwitchcraft · 02/10/2018 21:50

Why are women like Penny and Ruth hunt so hell-bent on pushing this ridiculously dangerous, completely Orwellian, bizarre ideology-enshrining policy through? The public doesn't want this! STOP THIS MADNESS!

AngryAttackKittens · 02/10/2018 21:53

The last time I saw a policy pushed through in the face of this much public opposition was the poll tax, and I'm sure we all remember how that went. For the millionth time - who is behind the curtain putting pressure on politicians and ensuring that this is pushed through despite almost no support from the public? We are supposed to be a democracy.

rightreckoner · 02/10/2018 21:55

Yes I bet her LGBT credentials are important to her because of her family. Fair enough. But Penny gay people can also think. And they also know that men are not women. So you will need to start finding a more sophisticated line through this.
