General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I was responding to your comments. Not about the post. Again. Sweeping generalisations. Stop. It.

I feel sorry that you only have bad examples in your life that you feel the need to taint all men so harshly by your low standards of them. But that isn't helpful to anyone and it actively pushes people away from you.

would be to complain about an obvious joke mirroring the language of the comment I replied to

Oi vey, the irony is strong in this one ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Thinking women deserve bodily autonomy is not a high standard my friend, do better and stop playing a victim.

If that pushes you away from me then good, please stay far away.

Also congrats on identifying that jokes can be ironic.

Can you point to where I have said women don't deserve bodily autonomy? Please do this. You've brought this up a number of times to deflect from the point about stigmatising all men based on your low opinion of them. So show me where I've say this or disagree with it.

As you've repeatedly pointed out I'm making generalisations for the sake of brevity. If you think I'm talking about you that's a you problem.

Point out for me where I've used the word 'all'. If it comforts you, feel free to read my original comment and all other comments that trigger this defensive response in you as:

(There are) men in this country (who)...

Rather than

(All) men in this country ...

Since I would read the comment I replied to the same way.
