The Left Vs Right's treatment of women

43 replies

MidLangClegs · 18/01/2025 11:17

I heard this statement recently and was wondering if women here could help explain it to me with historic examples:

"The Right treat women as their private property, and the Left treat women as public property".

Is it that the Right, purportedly perusing 'c'onservative family values may be more inclined to be anti-abortion? But why is this a 'private property' concern?
And the Left, I am thinking of Rosie Duffield and the very public ostracisation of her by Starmer.

But I know that's not correct. Just mulling this over and wanted some more information.

I've reported your post in turn @MidLangClegs , I do not like being lied about. And would never, ever, ever, link to a 'personality test'.

There's no payment required, never has been.

Perhaps someone else can try, as I had this:

@LittleMyLittle can you post a screenshot of it? And I've just tried the link again and got this.

There's something wrong at your end, the link works for me, takes me directly to politicalcompass.org

I really don't like being lied about.

I am not lying, I've posted what I saw.
I am sure MNHQ will investigate properly.

oops - you'll just have to follow the link

or search for the site

and apologise for lying about me and complaining about my post

I suggest you investigate properly yourself. Search for political compass.

Then apologise for the repeated lies.

I think I've solved the mystery.

I just tried to access the link on my phone (I was accessing on PC with an ad block) and at the top of my browser page was an ad for "Blossomup".

Since touchscreens are notoriously temperamental, I suspect your phone registered you clicking on the link as tapping twice, and tried to bring up the ad that would have loaded in as soon as the website opened.

The political compass test gave me my result on the screen without asking for payment. There was a further offer where you can get a printout of the results and stuff if you sign up (and presumably pay?) But that was an optional extra and I didn't look very closely at it.

TempestTost · 21/01/2025 02:00

The PC test doesn't cost anything.

It is rather like a personality test though, it is very biased. Not on purpose, but the result is the same.

It made me laugh, because it dumped me very firmly into the Left/Libertarian quarter. I am obviously making a right pig's ear of being a Far Right Nazi-Adjacent Bigot, and must Educate Myself and Do Better...

MidLangClegs · 21/01/2025 10:19

@DeanElderberry I still cannot get to the survey but it does look like others have accessed it.
A recurring glitch from my ancient phone! I do apologise.

I'm authoritarian left - the communist quadrant. Grin
I think I was libertarian last time I did the test, but I no longer believe women's rights can be trusted in a libertarian model and I think society needs to have some more stringently enforced rules and boundaries (mostly to curb the worst tendencies of male behaviour).

Mind you, I'm not very authoritarian and I'm actually pretty close to the centre - my values are a mix of old-fashioned and new-fangled.

Complete failure at being Nazi fash trash, though.

WhereYouLeftIt · 21/01/2025 12:06

Oh dear, seems I'm a left-leaning libertarian. How disappointing, must try harder! Grin

Left wing misogynists are the worst.

At least right wing misogynists will open the door for you.

Heggettypeg · 21/01/2025 13:47

Right wing misogynist : wolf

Left wing misogynist : wolf in sheep's clothing

It's nice to roll this out occasionally.
