Would you look at that... Regular redditors up voted to the top for calling out the misandry entrenched in this parties politics. Just gives me a little hope that we can correct this hatred within my lifetime.

The "for the children" excuse really is getting old. It's funny how "best interests of the child" always correlates to the best interests of the mother.

I suggest you read both replies from 'TheGreenParty' which came 4 hours apart, then follow up by reading this.

It's shocking that she actually seems to have gotten away with this obfuscation, but then she is a feminist and a politician. I imagine she must be an expert at lying by now.

CJ352 [...] The Green Party recognises that domestic abuse takes places in a range of circumstances, in all types of relationships, and that the victims can be women or men, children or vulnerable adults, including disabled adults, older adults, trans people and people in same sex relationships. Nonetheless, it is acknowledged that a large majority of cases involve abuse by men against women, with research indicating that one in four women will experience domestic abuse during their lifetime.

Ugh.

What a shame. I was planning to vote green.

I can only wish that similar levels of realization dawn on Australians before the vote back in the parasitic, anti-science, anti-men Greens party.

Terrible shame. I was going to vote for them next time. After the disappointment of being on the losing side in the Scottish referendum I feel more politically alienated than ever. I guess I will just put my tick in the box for the SNP, though where that is all headed now I do not know. It's a real shame, this sort of thing has been on the table in the UK for years.

Things like these don't matter when hell will freeze over before the Green Party get any real power.
