The Upcoming Election

[TerfTalk]

I guess we will get the manifestos in a few days, which should be interesting...

All I remember from the previous elections was far too much: "I am in the X party. There are tons of people in the X party that are gender critical, but they can't say anything because of A, B, C."

Personally, I am spoiling my ballot unless any of the parties (other than UKIP) take a gender critical stance. I am in a Labour safe seat, so it won't make any difference to my area.

Exactly, Lang and now it's the bloody Tories who've announced a planned end to the benefits freeze, not Labour.

Even the Tories - yes, even Boris - are now aware that austerity has been pushed too far and is affecting stability and social cohesion. Nobody in that party has had any kind of compassionate awakening but even they know to stop short when the police can't control the organised and poverty crime or the expensive ill health of the nation that austerity has created.

They'll be putting money into the NHS and the police to try to stem that. They won't be redirecting money into the purses of poor women and single mothers. But, here's the clincher: neither will Labour.

Wondering what "pragmatism" some of us could find in that?

Loads more money to the police or loads more money to middle class students?

Spot the pro-woman choice. Oh, that's right. There isn't one.

When I say I hate men, I will be told that this is very extreme, on par with extreme misogyny.

However then you get statistics like 1 in 6 women/girls have been sexually abused. My question is what will it take for women to stand up and do something.

The fact that women are 50% plus of the population in most real democratic countries and yet the laws are still anti-women and that women are being abused and killed by men who go unpunished is a totally shocking situation.

The women's vote mostly aligns with that of their male peers.

Can you imagine the men’s vote aligning with the women’s vote if the women were killing and abusing men on similar scale (even if all the women were being punished for this)? #notallwomen

The men would vote for severe pre-emptive measures and laws against ALL the women.

In all real democratic countries, women can in single or at the most, two election cycles, end the rampant UNPUNISHED abuse and killing of women by men.

Men are united, there no laws that benefit some or all women at the expense of all men, but there are many laws in ALL countries that benefit some or all men but harm all women.

If in a local area a school or hospital is planed to be closed, the local population will very often suspend their normal party voting loyalties and support an independent candidate in the next election to fight for the more urgent issue than the national defence or party politics.

However most women as yet, do not consider the ending of Patriarchy as an urgent issue and have decided that Brexit or party politics and having higher children benefits is more important for majority of women – everything under the sun but ending laws that allow men to go unpunished after abusing and killing women.

What will it take for a woman to stand in every single constituency this General Election and other women en mass to vote for laws that are not anti women as a matter of urgency?

I pledge my vote to a pro female - Independent Female candidate this GE do not care about left/centre/right wing views of the candidate otherwise.

MaeWest - I'm still reeling with the disappointment that even the Women's Equality Party has failed to centre women.

Losing all hope here.
