Um, isn't it Leeds that has the prostitution zone?

ChattyLion · 30/09/2019 18:50

They’re taking the piss, surely

ErrolTheDragon · 30/09/2019 18:50

Apt it's being funded by Comic Relief, as that does sound like a (bad) joke.

EmpressLesbianInChair · 30/09/2019 18:51

Um, isn't it Leeds that has the prostitution zone?

And the ban on women-only spaces.

StereophonicallyChallenged · 30/09/2019 18:54

The idea was apparently first muted two years ago Hmm

EndoplasmicReticulum · 30/09/2019 18:55

Ha ha ha. Except it's not funny, is it.

So what are all the other cities going to be like then?

StereophonicallyChallenged · 30/09/2019 19:00

I will ask my local Councillor about this. Because FFS we have an actual no go area due to the legalised prostitution zone.

AnyOldPrion · 30/09/2019 19:02

Ah yes, but what kind of woman is it friendly to?

Not all women....

ErrolTheDragon · 30/09/2019 19:07

Does anyone know anything about the Women's Live Leeds group and its partner organisations?

Ereshkigal · 30/09/2019 19:11

LOLOL. My sides.

eyeswideshit · 30/09/2019 19:11

I wonder what definition of woman they'll be using? Presumably not the dictionary one.

RoyalCorgi · 30/09/2019 19:15

This is the place that bans women from meeting to discuss women's rights? That doesn't like lesbians marching for lesbians' rights? The one with the prostitution zone where they can hive off sex workers where men can abuse them without any comeback? The place where the local police arrest women for wrongthink?

They're having a laugh, aren't they?

PennysPocket · 30/09/2019 19:17

Oh christ.
I am soooo sorry.
As a proud Leeds lass I am once again shamed by the mysogonists that run this city.

PennysPocket · 30/09/2019 19:20

And we have a female mayor!!

Angryresister · 30/09/2019 21:03

This would be funny if it wasn’t so serious. Royal Corgi has expressed everything very clearly. Everyone in Leeds please contact your councillors about getting rid of the prostitution zone, clarify the definition of who they mean by woman, who is allowed to have meetings...who gets to be in eg swimming pool female changing rooms...just for starters

AverageAvenger · 30/09/2019 21:04

It’s an absolute piss take. Leeds is the worst city in the UK for women. And I say that as a resident, born and bred.

It’s the flagship city for woke silencing of lesbians, shutting down women’s free speech, self ID, legalised prostitution, funding organisations which promote “sex work”, Mermaids, a breast binding library and all manner of shit.

West Yorkshire Police, Leeds, have been involved in virtually all of the high profile state funded attacks on women for daring to have an opinion.

Inebriati · 30/09/2019 21:33

Did anyone else let out a screechy laugh or was it just me? Decades of abuse and suddenly I'm fucking trendy.

I think not.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 30/09/2019 21:48

Did the Ministry of Truth release this statement? Is it April Fools Day?

Leeds, you're either taking the piss or so delusional that you need immediate psychiatric intervention. Sort yourself out.

SarahTancredi · 30/09/2019 21:50

Would that be women with or women without a penis?

PurpleCrowbar · 30/09/2019 21:58

Jeez.

I studied in Leeds & still 30 years on have lifelong friends there.

Nope nope nope.

Leeds is not 'woman friendly'.

Fraggling · 30/09/2019 22:10

With the zone where a woman was gang raped and police didn't do anything as the men said, we thought she was a prostitute. Because she was in that zone.

Right.

YY prostitutes can't be raped is v progressive.
Men saying we thought she was a prostitute so we took her in the car and raped her even while she protested is good enough for police to understand no crime.

Yeah fuck that.

Woman murdered really soon after it started. Idea it would be controlled and police looking out = ha. Do what you want to women, including the ones who live there.

Yeah awesome.

Or maybe prostitutes and poor women don't count as women?

Which women are they thinking of?

Oh. Everything becomes clear.
