Ed Davey wants to listen and rebuild the Lib Dems: let's talk to him

Just heard that Ed Davey has won the ballot to lead the Lib Dems. His opponent was Layla Moran, the pansexual who sees souls (and also a rather troubled soul herself, judging from things she revealed in a fairly recent interview). So some sanity prevails.

Davey has declared his desire the rebuild the LDs by listening to what ordinary people have to say, so let's tell him. We want an end to all TWAW nonsense and he can rebuild his party and get a pretty instant following if he just stands against the TRAs and supports women's rights. I'm one of thousands, possibly millions, of women who used to be Labour and am now politically homeless. If the LDs were to come out as a party that supported women and girls and not a tool of the MRAs he can have my vote.

Is there a single article/ link I can include in my email to him that demonstrates the plight of the left-centre woman in search of a party she can sign up to? Would Suzanne Moore's Spectator article be any good? Surely Suzanne Moore writing in the Spectator with hundreds of former Labour women applauding should make the point that everything's up for grabs to the party who cares to side with women?

I spoke to the LD canvasser outside the polling booth last year and told him I couldn’t vote for them due to their leader not knowing what a woman is. He completely understood - he was of the older Liberal variery. A normal, ordinary politically engaged man of a certain age who got it. There must be thousands of them and yet they are all silent.
I confronted one of my local councillors about this.

At the time he was full on anti brexit and concerned about how authoritarian it was. His family left Poland but many were stranded there during the cold war so he was particularly passionate about the destruction of reality and democracy.

When i started talking about the same thing happening to women with the trans stuff he cut me down abruptly said it was niche not important and 'didnt have time to confront the issue at the moment because Brexit was more important'.

Said it all reality. He could see racism but he couldn't see homophobia and sexism.
