In my opinion he didn't cover himself in glory on the issue of women's rights. His answer on prisons showed where his priorities lie. Did I misinterpret him?

Pan or Plain loaf? - That is my question.

They might just let that one stand!

Lord is being held on a v tight leash as one deletion was simply for saying Sheesh...

Glad you're still here!

My question wasn't just deleted - it was completely erased from the thread - no trace of my name on there anymore.

Mine too. I was really careful not to mention self-ID. I said that I was sitting behind Layla Moran when she announced that she could see souls & asked how the LibDems intended to make use of her talent if they won the election.

Surely you'd have to be a complete idiot to agree to do a Mumsnet webchat and not be prepared to have a detailed discussion with a lot of women who were both angry and worried about self-ID and gender ideology.

Interesting other perspective on the webchat!

Well, they’re in a corner, aren’t they. Show up on Mumsnet and they know the questions about self ID, gender and women’s and children’s safety will be relentless and unsympathetic. Don’t show up, and any whining about the media denying them a platform looks a bit hollow.

Dr Philip Lee is a misogynist

BernardBlacksWineIceLolly · 06/12/2019 07:45

Mumsnet webchats allow politicians to publicly and directly speak to the public

unfortunately the public (us) keep using that opportunity to point out that their ideological emperor has no clothes on, and when it comes to denying reality and saying that men are women (in the words of rage against the machine) 'fuck you I won't do what you tell me'

I could almost feel sorry for them if they weren't blindly pushing harmful beliefs rooted in sexism that can lead to the weakening of safeguarding for children and vulnerable people

last night I met someone for the first time in person who actually said 'transwomen are women'. it shocked the life out of me. it sounds so ludicrous said out loud. unfortunately that person was my local lib dem PPC Sad

we are committed to helping women understand why being thrown under the bus is fine

The webchat reminded me of the above quote on another thread on Nicola Sturgeon by an MNer. Why oh why don't women know their place anymore and just get under the bus quietly!!!

Philip Lee used to be a Conservative MP with responsibility for prisons, including female offenders. He will be very aware of the Karen White case. I don’t believe he buys the Lib Dem line on this at all, but will have to stick to it to remain a member and campaign fruitlessly against the inevitability of Brexit.

He lost by about 10,000 votes. Oh well.
