With ACT and/or NZF policies implemented they will be allowing a Right of Centre and Righter influence. Even Labour isn't Centre anymore, so Nats can't be. By comparing the election results to 2020, words like bloodbath' etc overstate the outcome. ACT/Nats...

Much longer than 200 years. When Democracy was born, it was Greek men and free men who could vote
Agree- t's not about not liking men- but about how their behaviour in certain situations (especially decision-making) makes it difficult for women to be heard. And NO we shouldn't have to alter to become like men if they dont have to alter to become like ...
Not in my experience
Men are much quieter in family gatherings in my experience, but outside that context... especially decision-making in work places, committees etc it's the opposite
Because they bear the children and need to be protected- if the 'visitors' become violent they have to get through the men to get to the 'breeders'- note post menopausal women are at the front before the Wero
Agree Too many comparing w 2020 not 2017 ACT got .5% in 2017 Lab 9% more than 2023 Nats 6 % more than 2023 NACT still only 50% of vote in 2023 Not the bloodbath that’s been depicted- payback for discomfort of fighting a pandemic for sure Luxon w backtrack ...
Ben & Jerry’s for almost no one
Taxpayers Union
John Key in the negotiating team? More non MPs than MPs?
Adam- what tools has NATO given these people to actually make a change to their leadership? Without a path - arrests/detentions will quell the protests, queing for food will use time... I agree the way is through the people but to date we only hear about ...
He relied on evidence from his input into Syria and Crimea- not entirely stupid...
Thanks Molly I am tired of saying I accept transwomen, and being treated as a liar. I am tired of providing evidence against administration of puberty blockers etc to young people with ‘bigot’. I am tired of explaining why my rights are in danger and ...
Well said Miravox. It is not progressive to swap one set of harmful stereotypes to hide in another set. That is as Binary as it gets. As a young lesbian in the 80’s I have no doubt I would have questioned if I were really male based on today. Puberty plus ...
The clause that allows men to be legally regarded as women by mere self identification - CHANGES the definition of woman. Anyone wanting to argue the law supports the notion that men can be legal women can point to BDMRR Act and say to a Court - see? The ...
One of the jobs of law writers and law makers is to provide exceptions, to consider unintended consequences, and to consider what can go wrong. eg transwomen in the pre GI sense are just trying to get on with their lives. Some predatory men will use laws ...
Hardly a hate crime- religious exceptions to laws are not being overridden, women’s exceptions are
We know the Right are no friends of women or our rights. But the Left are not immune to misogyny and this issue has blown that right open. A small number of men who think they are women are getting rafts of policy/legislation at a speed that must give ...
You’ve read Kerekere’s thesis? Then you know she offers NO proof that Maori ever believed humans can change sex. It’s a lightweight (academically) piece that talks about lots of stuff but proves nothing. It is not for her to determine what Maori concepts ...
The National council of Women NZ who believe men and can women and men can be Lesbians
And, importantly, a mere 2% of trans people are Intersex. Many intersex people have both male and female biological markers which is still binary
Siobhan 2 - in all the debates you refer to, people weren’t refused venues after others wrote in, people didnt approach employers to try and lose dissenters their jobs, Didnt get them banned from SM for holding a different view, had a media that printed ...
Me too @ mixed feelings. Same with a few in Save Women’s Sport cos I know that if electing National/Act is the answer, the question wasn’t ‘how do we improve the lives of women in Aotearoa, especially low paid and mana Wahine??
Joanne i know some members of SUFW and can categorically say they do not want Trans kiwis to not exist. They want transwomen to be transwomen with the rights to safety, jobs etc etc but that they are not women. Are there some bigots in there? Probably but ...
I have no doubt being Trans is bloody hard. I respect transwomen and transmen and wish the work we began in the 70’s to dismantle damaging stereotypes had continued- continued dismantling the notion that boys wear blue and girls pink (pants v dresses etc)....
Stephanie contradicts herself- pleaded to SC to ignore others for having what she considers ideological beliefs with no evidence then says they should pass the law based on ideology and no evidence
Male silence is acquiescence. Would be great for all men to show they’re genuinely #notallmen A chance for liberal progressive men to really lead https://scoop.upworthy.com/only-girl-in-tech-class-exposes-male-classmates-joking-about-rape-consent?fbclid=...
Thanks for this comment Odette. Many women share your history, if not of cancer but of sexual violence. Our comfort is being put behind the comfort of .5% of men who feel uncomfortable as males and in male spaces- the answer can NEVER being promoting their...
Thanks Mika
Lucy You may think you have a ‘gotcha’ with your Lesbians look at women and girls too. I am a Lesbian and I do not look at women and children’s bodies in changing rooms for any kind of personal/sexual gratification. At most it’s a glance as I walk in or ...
