This seems to have been ongoing for years but there's a new article in the DM (no apologies for link)

The Labour Party gets £1m a year, and Starmer is a member. I can't imagine why there's been no comment from his office Hmm

Yes. I'm afraid many trade unions are deeply misogynistic.

Remember the Unison president Steve North who is determined that women must undress in front of any random man who demands to view their undressed bodies and criticised the Darlington nurses for daring to object??

We need more of this description. This is what is actually happening.

The nature of a female private space is that the women in it are either very vulnerable, can't escape, going through something intimate or are undressed or naked.

It's not a shopping mall. It's not a pub. It's a specific place where women's first requirement is privacy.

And it is these spaces that men want to access. Because more the unequivocally female it is, the more they want to dominate it.

And as we all bloody know, it's got fuck all to do with the space, and everything to do with the naked, vulnerable, abused and incarcerated women in them.

Without those women, the space is irrelevant. The women are the validation tool, the resource.

And anyone, any company, association, and in this case bloody fucking union, who advocates for it is as culpable as the men demanding it.

determined that women must undress in front of any random man who demands

This is the description on the tin. This is what they are doing.

Not forgetting the UCU and their refusal to assist Prof. Jo Phoenix.

Most of the Union men I've come across in my career, with one definite exception, were misogynists.

Yep after reading about Unison this doesn’t surprise me at all. I think there needs to be a union just for women.

Is it time to resurrect WSPU? I feel like that's where we're headed 😬
