Oh dear.

Tracy Brabin, aged 58y, Labour MP for Batley, ex ‘Corrie’ soap actress wore this yesterday in the HoC.

I was embarrassed on her behalf. What do you think about her choice of outfit for work?

Thar was for the snowflakes

I don’t imagine she will have as a school pupil - it’s a swimsuit after all, and very different to the top worn by an adult woman.

She's a teacher SirChenjin grin

I do admit to buying very expensive moisturiser SirChenjin but to look this good does take a little extra effort, money and time. I’m not one to let myself go as you can see.

GN really odd isn’t it? You can slag off women in public life who don’t deserve it, you can criticise posters who call out misogyny but use a good old Anglo Saxon swear word that’s richly deserved and your post is deleted. Deleting my posts doesn’t delete the appalling misogyny and stupidity on this thread - it’s still there for all to see

suziewoozie Wed 05-Feb-20 21:46:14

And now the misogynists have lost the argument, they resort to stupid pathetic derailing diverting tactics.

SirChenjin Wed 05-Feb-20 21:48:27

I did wonder callistemon - I didn’t think you were of that age from your previous posts but who am I to call anyone a liar!

I agree suzie - the sexism aimed at a woman showing a bit of shoulder by some posters has been quite eye opening.

SirChenjin Wed 05-Feb-20 21:49:45

Actually, scrub that - it’s not been eye opening at all sad

Telling another poster to FO is rude and childish suzie
It wasn’t that you used the word, it was the aiming it at a poster, making a personal attack of it.
You have already upset me terribly today?by saying I am boring.....the ultimate insult.I may not sleep at all tonight.?

suziewoozie Wed 05-Feb-20 21:50:48

I’m surprised your eyes needed opening Sir the misogyny on GN is mainstream

SirChenjin Wed 05-Feb-20 21:54:26

Follow your own advice and have a cup of tea lemon - chamomile is very good for insomnia smile

Hear, hear

From both sides of the argument

lemongrove Wed 05-Feb-20 21:58:11

It is, but I hate chamomile tea, yuk, but I do like peppermint
So may have that, and then a nice lie down in a darkened room.?

suziewoozie Wed 05-Feb-20 21:58:19

Naughty naughty Sir only lemon and her mates are allowed to tell other posters what to do - drink tea, stop posting etc etc

SirChenjin Wed 05-Feb-20 21:58:22

Where’s the misogyny from the other side of the argument?

Callistemon Wed 05-Feb-20 21:58:27

What age?

I qualify as elderly according to some on here!

SirChenjin Wed 05-Feb-20 22:02:15

I think you should lemon - peppermint is very good at getting rid of trapped wind and a lie down in a dark room will make you feel so much better smile

lemongrove Wed 05-Feb-20 22:03:17

I have mates on here? That’s nice ?

SirChenjin Wed 05-Feb-20 22:04:16

The polite term for elderlies is older people - so I’ll just stick with that wink

lemongrove Wed 05-Feb-20 22:05:53

True SirC and a few blown raspberries at some of the faux feminist claptrap will do me good.

lemongrove Wed 05-Feb-20 22:06:22

suziewoozie Wed 05-Feb-20 22:07:35

Goodnight lemon

suziewoozie Wed 05-Feb-20 22:08:04

Hope you have your cuddly toys with you

SirChenjin Wed 05-Feb-20 22:08:41

I’m thinking more of the hot air that you’re full of.

Night night smile

lemongrove Wed 05-Feb-20 22:12:50

Parp! ?
Night all zzzzzzz
