Can a woman have a penis?
A simple question, you might imagine.
But not, it seems, for a flustered Sir Keir Starmer, who squirmed when asked just this in a radio interview this week.
‘I’m not… I don’t think we can conduct this debate with… I don’t think that discussing this issue in this way helps anyone in the long run,’ the Labour leader stammered.
And he’s certainly not the only politician struggling with such matters. Anneliese Dodds, the shadow minister for women and equalities, recently had an issue defining precisely what a woman was (a clue, Anneliese, look in the mirror!), before reaching the conclusion ‘it depends on what the context is’.
The Chancellor Rishi Sunak, too, in a recent radio interview was unable to say in his own words what a woman was.
How worrying it is that politicians are now too cowardly to answer this most basic of questions, that they are unable to define what is, after all, half the population.
The answer that these cowardly politicians are refusing to give is; ‘no.’
So three of the country’s largest campaign groups on women’s rights — Women Uniting, Sex Matters and Women’s Rights Network (WRN) — are mobilising with a new campaign: ‘Respect my Sex if you want my X’.
We believe that politicians should know they can’t expect our cross in the voting box if they do not acknowledge and protect women’s sex-based rights.
Good for them. However, they are wasting their time with the three main parties.
Of course a woman can have a penis – probably kept in a jar of preservative on the mantelpiece.
I’m sure that’s where Harry’s is.
“Good for them. However, they are wasting their time with the three main parties”.
Let’s be fair, the whole of the rational, degree of commonsense enabled, awake but not woke adults in Great Britain are wasting our time with the three main parties….on any topic you care to mention.
Can a woman have a penis?
Some do in Thailand haha
Can a woman have a penis? If I were a lot younger they could have mine, subject to terms and conditions of course or should that be intercourse?
That Con MP who revealed he was trans: I assumed he was born a female
Not so, he’s a trans-woman (have I got that right?), but wants to keep his cock and pronouns he/him
I’m lost now
“Anneliese Dodds, the shadow minister for women and equalities, recently had an issue defining precisely what a woman was (a clue, Anneliese, look in the mirror!)”
I looked at her (???) Wikipedia page and to be honest, it could go either way.
Anneliese Dodds – The Bride of Frankenstein
Anne Widdecombe when asked the question was reliably forthright.
The greatest thing about the male penis is the ability to share it with those that don’t have one. 😀
At least the question itself allows us to separate the sane from the insane (at least to a certain degree).
Repeat after me: “Men have penises, women have vaginas”.
How dare the impudent voters ask a straight question and expect a straight answer of a politician. Bare faced cheek.
I wonder who is more dumb. These politicians or the people who voted for them?
No meaningful choice in who to vote for now
On the less Left are Cons
On the more Left: Lab, Lib, SNP, Greens…
Choice for right is ‘who is least worst’
If only DUP were a UK not NI party…
True. Today’s Conservatives are just Left Light.
