Calling somebody stupid is one thing. Does ca!long somebody a stupid woman make you an eternal card carrying misogynist? For the absence of doubt he definitely said it. Personally I wouldn't have used the word stupid or woman when describing her. There are other words.
its misogynistic and very unparliamentary. Both things a senior politician should steer well clear of.
Just seen the gutless weasel Corbyn call TM a stupid women on politics live. The new gentler, kinder lefts politics. Then he sneaked out of the the HOC. What a see you next tuesday!
Yaeh, but do you have any evidence.
Wheres the evidence he wouldn't have called a man "a stupid woman"?!?!

Just imagine if Boris had said something similar, this is either of the best windup of all time, or someone's hatred of The Tories has made them lose their marbles.

Agreed.
The Leader of the Opposition referring to the Prime Minister, in Parliament, as a “stupid woman” is a disgrace.
The timeline mentioned here mentions incidents already flagged up and responded to. It is an attempt to gather together stuff that has some substance like how the Labour party as an institution ought to be much better on anti semitism, and adds very questionable ballast to give the stance extra gravitas.

Your defence of him in the face of mounting evidence against him, including misogynistic comments made by him just moments ago, suggests that you do.
Is calling the Prime Minister of this country a “stupid woman” abhorrent and unfitting of a person who wants to lead the Opposition (and one day the country)?

It's just helpful to observe double standards.
Speaking of kinder, gentler politics, the Tories have this week restored the whip to two alleged sex pests

I'm struggling to see how that is functionally misogynistic?
theres me thinking "surely corbyn will come out an apologise immediately and it'll end up just being seen as a storm in a teacup. He can't completely screw up something like this again after the anti semitism scandal"

Fallacy fallacy: just because an argument may be fallacious in nature doesn't mean it isn't valid.

The use of “woman”, in this context, is clearly derogatory - it would take some pretty heroic mental gymnastics to try and make out that you support equality of the sexes whilst at the same time supporting a man that goes around calling the female PM a “stupid woman” in her place of work.
This is very shit from Corbyn btw and don't think for one moment I have any interest in defending him saying that, accurate though he is about May being both stupid, and a woman.
It's pretty misogynistic because the insult is gendered. I don't think it means JC is a misogynist though

1. We don't actually know he said it 2. He mumbled it to himself in frustration. It wasn't an attack 3. What else are you going to call her? Stupid person? Stupid idiot? They have the same force. It's not like he said 'typical woman' or 'bloody women' or something more generic. She is stupid and a woman.
There are times when Mrs AUN really pisses me off and under my breath (I’m not totally stupid to say it out loud) I will call her a ‘silly/dopey/arsey bitch’. Reading the last few posts have me concerned that I’m a raging mysogynist. I’d best take a long, hard look at myself.

Righto - we’ll see if the next time someone uses a reference to a persons gender/race/sexuality as part of an insult you’re so onboard.

A serving Prime Minister said 'calm down dear' to a woman not that long ago.

It would not be misogynistic if the phrase "stupid man" was also used in similar circumstances, with equal frequency, and carrying the same weight of opprobrium.
The problem is the long, long history of women being "put in their place" by men. A good example of this is the lifetime experience of Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell, the discoverer of the first pulsar. If you didn't hear it first time round, her interview on "The Life Scientific" is well worth a listen https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b016812j .

I am not defending him. I am engaging with the evidence presented which I see as a different thing.
