Green Party deputy leader hustings - only one candidate knows what a woman is

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Sorry if there's been a thread about this and I've missed it.

Green Party currently having an election for Deputy Leader. Hustings over the weekend. Somebody asked 'What is a woman?' Here are the answers. Jawdropping.

However, good news! Andrea Carey Fuller, a candidate who was not at the hustings, has now clarified what she would have said - Adult Human Female. twitter.com/hullfair/status/1285193309959475200?s=20

It's a huge relief to find that at least one Green knows what a woman is but if she got elected she'd have her work cut out for her trying to change the internal culture in the Green Party. Good luck to her.

That twitter thread is comedy gold
They really want the votes from over 50% of the population yet can't identify them?

It's laugh or cry time, for sure. The Green Party wants us to believe them on how to tackle climate change, which surely demands high confidence in science, and then demonstrates a total lack of critical thinking and scientific rigour here? I don't think so.

Good grief, talk about avoiding a simple question that any 5 year old can answer! They may well just have said ‘I don’t have a fucking clue’

It's properly shocking to hear those answers. Interesting that they aren't willing to say "anyone who says they are one" or "women and transwomen".

Instead they just waffle.

I suspect it's because they do know what a woman is, they do know that transmen are women and transwomen are men. So they can't bring themselves to answer clearly because they can't bring themselves to lie so directly.

"Being a woman is an attitude"
Oh?

Like this?

IT'S MA'AM!

Dear GOD that is awful. Someone needs to get this published so people not on twitter can read the idiocy that aspires to hold high office these days.

Remarkable that while they definitely deny that women are adult human females, they cannot offer an alternative definition.

The nearest answer to an attempt at a definition is Cleo Lake:

Being a woman is an attitude.

It's right up there with the most bonkers ones.

Oh and elect Andrea obviously

Thanks Gasp0de.

How did we get to this? Of course they know. They ALL know.

What an absolute shower of shit.

" I don't think it's a very productive question, to be honest ." Translation-stop asking me questions I can't answer without looking like an absolute spanner. #nodebate

"A ciswoman (what a twat) that can't give birth is no less of a woman than... a man."

I wonder what their answers would be if someone asked them what a man is 🤔

Has anyone asked what a man is? Would that be "an attitude" too? Or would that be a person with a penis?

It hasn't gone unnoticed but it would be better if say The Times picked it up...

What an absolute shower.

They all know what a woman is. Every last one of them.

They are shit scared.

Just the quality you're looking for people who would like to run a country.

They're a bright lot aren't they 🤣

I mean - how can you vote for that.

I’ve given up on them a long time ago. Was 2016 the year of “we’re happy to be referred to as non-men”?

I like the response 'ask your mum'.

They're a bright lot aren't they

I mean - how can you vote for that

I genuinely don't understand how they can be all about the science when it comes to climate change (which to be fair is an area they seem to have somewhat abandoned) and yet be total science deniers when it comes to biology

Can they not see the vast harm this is doing the party. Many many women, including me, have left the greens over this.

Being a woman is an attitude. So what is a girl? How does FGM tie in with that? Anyone cares to ask 4-year olds who were forced to go through it?

Did someone ask them what is a man? Would there be as much confusion?

Sometimes I just want to opt-out of this shit. Can I? Can I out-identify of being human?

Being a woman is an attitude....

Oh for fuck's sake. There's a point beyond which this is too silly and too offensive to be indulged any further. Stop erasing women to try and placate a tiny number of people who believe nobody matters but them.

I am serious. I am saying to my MP and will say to the Green Party, if I don't exist, then obviously I'm going to stop paying taxes.

No taxation without representation.

I think people need to stop asking "what is a woman" and start asking "what is a man". I wonder if politicians etc are as prepared with their twittish answers - I bet a fair few would say adult human male without thinking because they haven't been prepped and rehearsed their waffle.

... and as we can see (as if we didn't know already) most of them are quite stupid.

Are the Lib Dems and the Greens competing for 'Idiots in Politics Award' cos although they've got bags of competition, they're both front runners by miles
