Liberal Democrats sanction parliamentary candidate to apologise for calling women ‘terfs’.

I love this bit

"The Panel upheld the complaint and imposed a number of sanctions. Mr Schmeising was required to apologise, and to seek guidance and mentoring from a more experienced parliamentary candidate if he wished to remain on the approved list of PPCs.

The Panel also endorsed a recommendation that the Party should consider training for men in their 20s and 30s to educate them on the use of misogynistic language."

So refreshing to see that some people are starting to the misogyny and name it as such.

Wonder if they'll deny this actually happened too, like they did with that Downey bloke, and all go off about women's groups being ''hate groups'' again?

Interesting... I left the Lib Dem’s a few years ago because of their stance.

Yes, watch all the young abusive ones double down on Twitter now....

Wow that is a surprise, really quite unequivocal. Maybe the electability penny is starting to drop.

I thought there was a measly apology then they trotted straight to twitter ‘I didnae mean it, they made me say it, I had my fingers crossed, thems stinky wee minkys...’ etc?

Oh I see - different bottom spanking...

It was not as it seems, at least in terms of how committed the Lib Dems were to the need for an apology:

I should have read the thread properly, ignore me.

This is hopefully a very significant step in the right direction. The Lib Dem committee dealing with this complaint disagrees with the common assertion that women who object to men having women’s rights and access to all women’s spaces are equivalent to racists and should not be allowed to speak.

We want debate because we wholeheartedly believe we have a reasoned and reasonable case. Transactivists do not want a debate because they know it too.

It turns out that Dan Schmeising has form for homophobia:

Matt Downey is in a full on purity spiral over on twitter. He is still loudly saying Fairplay for women are a transphobic hate group and he's being extremely personal, he's retweeting some account called @Transhealthnow who seem to be making up conspiracy theories about fairplay coordinating with evangelical fundamentalists. What is clear is he genuinely believes his own bs. Lib dems what have you become?

Why is it that only men in their twenties and thirties need educating about misogyny?

This is good news.

Any women left in the party who might want to complain?
All grist to the mill when the party next has to trouble doorsteps to be elected.

The first party to protect my right to single sex spaces can have my vote.

I think that means I have to vote for the communist party at the moment.
