The Green Party has no interest in the protection of women and children.

I don't know all the background here, but at face value, a person helping to promote a policy that prevents debate or discussion of their own employer - given who that employer is and the recent expose of them, how is this not a massive conflict of interest?
Surely a person in that position would declare a conflict of interest and pay no part in the promotion/passing of that policy? Even if I have this the wrong way round, the conflict is the same - thwarting a policy to enable deflection from an employer has got to be wrong?
That has shocked me.

The Green Party need to read the Equality Act.

Look at all those (priveleged cis* white) men cheering Bristow on in the comments. Imagine being male and getting super happy about women's sexed based rights being voted down. Would it not give you pause?

*According to their own bios, I'm not ascribing them a label

PurpleHoodie · 08/03/2021 13:51

And.....people are shouting that racism does not exist in the UK?

Ok

This article from July last year, completely sums up the Green Party for me.
Unable to answer - "What is a woman"

Plus a Youtube video (Voiceover) to go with it.

Yes, there was one slapping himself on the back for standing against "misogyny" and transphobia in replies to Bristow earlier.

We need a new party with women's rights at the forefront. I would join that party.

HermitsLife · 08/03/2021 14:17

Yes definitely more sunlight needed.

They have now become the MRA party.

Andy the Youtube video is amazing, how can they "Smash the Partiarchy" when they cannot recognize biological sex.

What a bunch of dickheads

WarriorN · 08/03/2021 14:21

They're claiming that "sex based rights" is a framework made up within the last decade as a dogwhistle against trans women's inclusion in public life.

Quote from a tweet.

Bs.

PurpleHoodie · 08/03/2021 14:33

UK law is a dog whistle?

Ok

PurpleHoodie · 08/03/2021 14:33

Someone tell them.

Not me.

I have housework to do.

BreatheAndFocus · 08/03/2021 14:34

This seems to be a common tactic - go with a slogan. TWAW, then anything that threatens that idea is labelled as ‘transphobic’. Say it a lot, say it like it’s obvious - and then it pretty soon gets accepted as ‘fact’.

Sex-based rights are good obviously, but if you can get in there and say the very statement is a transphobic dogwhistle, you’ve taken control of the narrative. Make sure some teens proudly trumpet that ‘fact’ over social media and you’re laughing. Now every time it’s mentioned, you can triumphantly shout out “Dog whistle! Bigots!”. No matter if it’s crap and makes no sense. You’ve brainwashed some brainless SJWs into shouting it, and it will spread like a fungus.

Sian Berry seems to have a huge amount of dislike for her fellow women. She knows what she’s doing.

I will never vote Green again while this bunch of misogynists are in power. They’re living on another planet. They care more about this idiocy than about climate change. They’re becoming a laughing stock. I’m disgusted with them.

Are political political parties finances up for scrutiny?

Upcoming elections mean it feels we should know.

And be able to see where their donations are coming from.

SapphosRock · 08/03/2021 14:39

Gosh. I usually vote Green as I live in Brighton Pavilion. Don't think I will anymore if they thinking 'defeating sex based rights' is a thing to boast about.

Tweet; I've seen a few like this.

I also have housework to do.

Yes.

Kitchen sink dramas.

Why exactly do they think the Equality Act 2010 includes sex as a protected characteristic, and replaced the older Sex Discrimination Act? Women need legal rights based on their female sex.

WarriorN · 08/03/2021 14:44

No kids/ sooooo much mud in the porch to remove.

WarriorN · 08/03/2021 14:45

Apparently if you search twitter that phrase only appeared in 2015.

Ergo, it's a new invention.

manatsu · 08/03/2021 14:48

I can never spell privileged, oops.

PurpleHoodie · 08/03/2021 14:52

What Eresh said.

I've long since come to believe that those in charge (men in particular) dont believe that women actually study law (applied law).

As a very young woman, I used to go to WH Smith and stand in the aisle reading a particular law book that was annually published.

Other women here will have their own own testimonies.

PurpleHoodie · 08/03/2021 14:59

Huge kudos goes to qualified law practitioners (solicitors and barristers) such as Allison Bailey who have struggled pass the racists, lesphobes, homophobes, sexists and classists.
