I innocently started this thread to provide some facts. This involved trawling through constituency results, etc., but thought other on FWR would be interested to know the outcome.

Maybe we could have talked about whether this was the start of something and what or how we could help come the next election. (PoW was only registered early this year.)

How did other parties start. How do you keep going.

There are many, many groups who election after election because they are committed to their beliefs, keep going.

So no suprise that the usual suspects bogged yet another thread down in repititious negativity.

Learn the names, so you dont respond to click bait and help other threads get derailed and stopped from providing an opportunity to share pro active ideas.

Forget the sneering, because in the records at the House of Commons and Electorial Commission it will be registered that there was a Party of Women who took part in the 2024 election.

And lets face it that is going to be far more of a lasting impacted than the unoriginal, tedious, sneering on FWR.

But of course on one level, as has been said before, this desparate attempt to try and drown us in negativity only illustrates how sucessful they think KJK is because they are so panicked they feel compelled to attack.

Edited

Thank you for your OP - I wanted to find out how PoW had done, and you saved me a lot of time and effort trawling through the various results.

I would probably not have voted for PoW even if they'd stood in my constituency, but that doesn't mean I'm not grateful to the women who put their heads way above the parapet to get the message out there. Yes, they lost their deposits, but they probably got a shedload more local publicity than the equivalent amount of £££ would have bought. Well done to everyone involved.

if no one will listen, and self ID becomes the norm, and sterilising gay children and encouraging irreversible surgery resumes, unchecked, and it's all rolled out in schools like fact, if it's all men taking women's medals and opportunities, if breast feeding groups and menopause groups and female group therapy become overwhelmed with men

Kindly, get a hold of yourself. This is not going to happen. It's scaremongering.

This is not going to happen. It's scaremongering.

It's NoT gOiNg To HaPpEn. You couldn't be more deeply ill-informed if you ever so desperately tried. It ALREADY HAS HAPPENED. And is happening. There is literally a couple of entire full threads in this section solely of things we were told 'would never happen' and have. We've already been proven correct. Around 4000 times over. It's no longer in question. I don't know where you've been.

Many women on here who are GC have said they voted Labour just to GTTO. Yet still care about womens issues. You may not care about womens rights. But most people do. They simply voted tactically. It isn't proof that you are right that no one cares about womens rights. You are clutching at straws if you think womens rights is a minority issue because Labour won over the tories.

You certainly don't 'give a shit' about womens employment rights, either.

Men suckling babies is a conspiracy theory. There is no evidence a male can lactate enough to feed a baby. And even less evidence that enough males have those fetishes to overrun breastfeeding and menopause groups.

It's scaremongering that's happened because of the strange politicisation of the debate. I'm really hoping it goes away now for a few years at least.

So why then, did the NHS say that transwomen can breastfeed?

I think, if anything, it will ramp up more than ever as feminists hold Starmers feet to the fire. Despite all the naive 'scaremongering', 'it's not happening' post from you, this one is perhaps the most naive yet. If you think this is going away, any time soon, you live a paradise of delusional denial and reality.

Because - we women haven't even gotten started yet....
And that's a promise. So get used to it.

I tend not to believe things that people with delusions say.

You know the hospital did no such thing and it's overexaggerated nonsense.

This is really irresponsible scare mongering.

So the NHS is delusional?

So Pink News is delusional?

Everyone is delusional, except for you, aren't they? Even when you're shown CLEAR PROOF via links, clear hardcore PROOF, you deny it. You're making a fool of yourself.

I don't think she's successful, I think she's largely an irrelevance, with a side of bigotry. I'm also a woman and a feminist and so entitled to engage in this forum.

If you think womens rights is 'bigotry', you're no feminist. Any more than I'm the Pope. Feminism doesn't mean centring men.

I'm really looking forward to penises not being the focus of every conversation about women's rights. Just imagine.

Oh, so are we looking forward to that one!

Is it just my hearing, or does this man say “women’s refuse centres” (“refuse” as in rubbish)? Seemed an interesting slip of the tongue for someone defending male use of women’s single-sex spaces 🙄.

Knowing scum like him, it wouldn't surprise me if he truly thought that's what the centres should be called. They always out themselves.

That will only happen when male people attached to those penises completely stop trying to destroy female people’s rights. I’m afraid that’s not likely to happen anytime soon so you might want to look at other areas of Mumsnet which are guaranteed to be penis-free.

I actually think there are some penised posters on this thread. Posing as women to goad us. That's my genuine belief.

(I think it's unlikely that many men voted for the Party of Women.)

I can confirm that there was one from my household.


That's at least two of us, then. Had I not had a candidate, I'd have spoiled my ballot. I did feel a little bit strange, when putting my cross on paper. There are a number of reasons why I felt that I couldn't vote for Labour and men in women's spaces was another stone on the balance.

Please can you give me an example of a breastfeeding or menopause group being "overwhelmed by men"?

I think its hyperbole designed to scare women.

There's no point. As has been said before, it's like arguing with a flat earther.

Whatever evidence or argument anyone puts forward in any topic, you sneer and say its not sufficient for reasons....

It's the same old same old every single thread....
