agree to some extent- but unfort policies that impact disproportionately on women tend to be driven through parly by female MPs #
-
-
-
and what would those policies be then?
-
where cuts are seen as hitting female employment - that's been focused on by female MPs, fgm, modern slavery, domestic violence
-
I don't see jobs as male or female, sorry. Most men just as horrified by DV and FGM as most women are. Not women's issues.
-
have been to dozens of events in Parly related to all of above & hardly ever male MPs at them. Female MPs have changed the focus
-
maybe but that's only because women have insisted these are women's issues. I think they have done women a disservice.
-
central to argument is to make sure these are issues men care abt & fight for too. But naive to assume they don't need extra push

@WEP_UK@jessicaelgot@guardian you know what she means, stop being facetious just because it's a rival paper -

I took the time to read the article, maybe if you did too you wouldn't need ask what she's referring to!
-
Read it. Somehow completely forgot to mention FGM, Forced Marriage and Honour Killing.

Exactly & if a man started campaigning for "men's issues" to be treated separately he would be accused of being sexist ....!!

or laughed at by Jess Phillips and Stella Creasy
-
Not likely ........ they don't actually have a sense of humour - or at least not as we know it .....!!
-
more sneering than laughing I'd suggest
