Inclusionary intersectional feminists have no issue with this. Awards are great, but not when they totally exclude minority caregivers like LGBTQ+ couples.

How does mother of the year exclude lesbians, and bisexual women?

Back onto the period poverty subject someone mentioned earlier -

Could somebody explain this to me?

The market produces these products, they are in all the shops.

I presume a range is available at various prices.

Why would the State intervene to make them cheaper or free?

Because the patriachy that's why.

Funny that this never seemed to be an issue until the loons managed to make boys having periods a thing people said without laughing.

Could be a Green Party councillor, they're fairly close to parody most of the time.

Is it woke to find these comments abhorrent from a sitting MP?

The statement said it was "both astonishing and shocking" that Mr Campbell watched the programme and "saw only skin colour".

Is that racist? It seems to me to be exactly what campaigns like "Oscars So White" are doing. Is it only racist if white people do it?

Because it's inequitable that almost half of the population are forced to pay for a basic human need. Some vulnerable people who have periods literally have to choose between hygiene and feeding themselves. Period poverty is a serious issue and I'm glad to see it being addressed by the government, but I agree with Una Mulally that the original Labour party bill was superior.

Women have periods.

If you're not a woman, and find yourself bleeding profusely, then you have suffered a serious injury, and should seek immediate medical attention.

That's the old Left, the modern left is full of people who have benefited most from neo liberalism and are upper middle class and upwardly mobile.

The medley of left, woke, progressive are a class signifier as well these days.

Marks one out as the right sort of people, welcome at the meeting, dinner party or office.

Which is why, at best, they don't give a **** about the working classes and at worst, hold them in utter contempt.

You obviously don't know much about anatomy if you think we bleed "profusely" during periods, but that isn't surprising.

You know well that having periods is not limited to just women, as trans folk can also have periods.

In any case, my post was about period poverty. Have you any views on that or the proposed legislation by the government?

Profusely is in the eye of the beholder - I think a lot of women would disagree with you.
Trans "folk" can't have periods - only women can. Yes, a woman who believes herself to be a man can have periods (proving definitively that she is suffering from a delusion), but a man who believes himself to be a woman cannot, no matter how he wishes it so.

My view is that unless a woman is being denied the welfare due to all people in this country, she should be able to afford sanitary products, however I think as a general rule, making them free is a good idea.

Folk?

One of the UK's most prestigious literary prizes, the Women's Prize for Fiction, can be awarded only to a female author — and thus excludes all men, including gay, minority, and trans men. Should this award also be abolished, in your view?

As long as all women, including trans women, are included I would have no issue. As it stands it should be cancelled.

But if a woman becomes a man, he won't be having periods, because he's now a man. Right?

No. He might still have periods.

Men can have babies now. And have done.

I am not in complete understanding pr agreement of the concept but yes. Men can now have periods and babies.

Trans individuals are eligible as long as they are "legally defined as a woman or of the female sex." Anyone who wishes to enter as a female author is required to produce a gender recognition certificate showing their legal gender.

Don't bother arguing, it's like wrestling with a pig, you both get dirty and the pig enjoys it.

Best thing to do is go the legal route and lobby the politicians to put an end to the silly stuff before it's too late, don't vote for "woken" politicians!

I'm assuming this is a joke?

Food and clothing are basic human needs, but the State does not intervene in the production or allocation of food or clothing.

We leave it to the market.

If somebody can show that the market isn't providing these goods, fair enough.

But as far as I know, all the supermarkets are well stocked.

I think they actually mean the provision of these goods in public toilets, in schools, colleges, etc., etc.?
