What exactly *are* women's issues anyway? The economy, jobs, housing, NHS, schools, cost of living? Don't men care about those things too?https://twitter.com/guardiananushka/status/802929130098556929 …

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

for e.g. Childcare still done disproportionately by women (v rarely see blokes at childcare discussion in parly), waspi campaign
-
childcare usually done by women because they WANT to do it, including you and me. We're not victims.
-
who's saying anything about anyone being a victim!? It's about policies and who takes an interest in them.
-
childcare is a parental issue not a women's issue.

not saying they are only about women or that only women MPs take interest, just that unfortunately it has tended to be that way
-
if you make an issue a Women's Issue, you make it harder for men (including male MPs) to talk about it.
