Telling half the population they have no place in your coalition: a winning strategy!

Mansplain, verb.

The act of men speaking to women as they would to a man.

redditorriot · 2015-07-04T15:22:25+00:00

'Progressive'.

Each gender treats the other as they want to be treated, not as the other wants to be treated.

So women "listen and believe" and ask men to do the same.

But men "explain and solve" because that is how we perceive and interact with the world.

Mansplaining is literally us trying to help solve women's problems. If it is not clear, this is loving behavior.

But women would prefer sympathy to solutions.

Hence the confused soul in OPs picture cries out to have her confusion mansplained away, but it never can be, since it is self-inflicted.

This is why I couldn't vote green, I'm very much a left winger however the left wing is full of these extreme feminists and it's just toxic.

ThePigmanAgain · 2015-07-04T18:49:20+00:00

Wow, why even at a music festival? Like maybe some STEM conference or something at least but I don't even see the relevance. It seems as though she's just trying to be provocative.

Hardly surprising though. The Green Party have sexist policies such as being more lenient on women in prison and even letting them out of prison just because they suffer "abuse". Good to know the men's prisons are perfectly peaceful then!

{excerpt from Green Party manifesto on website, you can skip this}

CJ381 Recognising the nature of the female prison population, with high levels of mental illness, experience of being a victim of crimes such as sexual assault and domestic violence, and caring responsibilities for children, the only women who should be in custody are those very few that commit serious and violent crimes and who present a threat to the public.

CJ382 For the vast majority of women in the criminal justice system, solutions in the community are more appropriate. Community sentences must be designed to take account of women’s particular vulnerabilities and domestic and childcare commitments. The restrictions placed on sentencers around breaches of community orders must be made more flexible.

CJ383 Existing women’s prisons should be replaced with suitable geographically dispersed, small, multi-functional custodial centres. More supported accommodation should be provided for women on release to break the cycle of repeat offending and custody.

So basically, you have this fantastic legal system where months are spent examining every tiny piece of evidence, many people give testimonies, the situation is considered in full and after agonising over this a judge will finally decide the fair sentence after having considered everything. Then, the Green Party will allow women to walk free simply because of their gender.

On top of this, they propose investing to improve women's prisons due to all the issues listed. Despite all of these issue also applying to men, no additional money would be spent improving men's prisons.

Both Natalie Bennett and the Green Party are sexist and I would never support them unless they had major party reforms.

What is she even trying to accomplish here?

FredPillington · 2015-07-04T17:09:20+00:00

Every week there's a new petty way to be sexist...

"Tune in next week where Bennett takes a stand against urinals. If women can't stand up to pee then its sexist for men to."

Knightsdawn · 2015-07-04T22:17:12+00:00

A socialist party led by a feminist? Makes sense.

I see they pass out crayons in the trigger-free zone. Is it also a clapping free zone, as well?

Wargame4life · 2015-07-04T19:00:34+00:00

and they are going to enforce that how exactly? i would deliberately patronise as much as possible, and then point to my "bitch free zone" sign.

GrandmasterSexay · 2015-07-04T23:30:18+00:00

The Green Party are absolute loons. A major problem was that they were heavily against Nuclear energy, yet claimed they could be 100% renewable without it. Also their whole "Let's not emprison women unless we absolutely have to" shtick.

TheCitizenAct · 2015-07-04T18:43:57+00:00

This woman is rancid, but it's worth noting she's also widely regarded as utterly inept. She advocated policies including giving EVERY single citizen in the UK £71 per week, as a stipend and to save on welfare administration costs. Conservative estimates put the cost at £240 billion. She also supported legalising membership of terrorist organisations like IS and Al-Qaeda.

What a fucking scumbag.

StandsInRefuse · 2015-07-04T23:59:22+00:00

GP are a joke anyway.

ThePigmanAgain · 2015-07-05T00:46:28+00:00

I hope she slips and falls face first into a cowpat.

mostly_doubt_it · 2015-07-04T21:03:50+00:00

Apparently the only time you are allowed to use "man" in a word is when it's an insult. Words like Chairman or manager though, that shits got to go.

ThePigmanAgain · 2015-07-05T01:03:33+00:00

You know, it occurred to me after another commenter asked, "Why music festivals," that this may not be an accident -- she may have chosen Glastonbury precisely because there have been feminist complaints about most of the acts at festivals, including this one, being male. The Guardian (who else) even did a piece in which they pointed out that the festivals were male dominated, that the charts were female dominated, and saw a problem only in the former, not the latter. I kid you not. So this idiotic (and sexist) sign may actually be a response to men who point out that festivals are male dominated because they tend to be rock-dominated, a genre more suited to the male voice than pop, and because those acts work cheaper than Taylor Swift does.

This type of stuff is why no Green party will ever be taken seriously

2015-07-05T02:17:58+00:00

And that's why I stopped voting Greens.

scanspeak · 2015-07-04T20:11:43+00:00

Don't worry cupcake. No self-respecting man would want to be anywhere near you.

rottingchrist · 2015-07-05T05:22:06+00:00

These are the kind of things women do when they're in power.

Shows you why they think a patriarchy is constantly "oppressing" them. They see men in power and expect them to have similar views towards women as they do towards men.

2015-07-05T05:59:34+00:00

I stopped explaining women anything years ago, unless I'm asked to or if she's in danger.

Raunien · 2015-07-05T10:34:03+00:00

Yet another reason not to vote for the greens. I mean, whose interests are they representing?

Not socialists, that's for sure, they're social democrats at best.

Not capitalists either, with their restrictive (if well-intentioned) taxes.

Not environmentalists, as they refuse to back down on their anti-nuclear power stance despite the promising research into thorium fuel, and nuclear fusion.

Not men, clearly. Their crime and justice policies actively discriminate against men by caller for softer sentences for women, and nicer prisons for women, with a view to having no women in prison

Really, they only look out for women's interests. And then, only a subset of criminal or vindictive women who want to be able to get away with anything.

rg57 · 2015-07-12T02:03:19+00:00

Wow. If I was in the UK, that would have ensured I never vote Green. (And I have voted Green several times in the past, where I live).

pnw_diver · 2015-07-04T20:45:39+00:00

In almost all ways I am a total leftist, and "Natalie Bennett" just guaranteed I will never under any circumstances vote for the American Green Party.

2015-07-05T04:35:17+00:00

They are a fucking joke party led by a stupid cunt.
