Potential roll back on womens rights

TheCatWoman

I noticed a few days ago that reform are wanting to make childless women pay more tax because were not contributing to society in the right way, basically if we get to menopause and have no children we wrong and unnatural and should be made to pay. 

At no point does it mention infertility, let alone make infertility, there just seems to be a blanket assumption that women have no children through selfishness.

  • Hmm! That comment by Matt Goodwin was scary stuff. 

    It would effectively be a ‘negative child benefit tax' targeting childless adults.

    He advocated for the removal of income tax for women who have two or more children. That tells me he believes the value of women is measured by the number of children they are able to have. It’s no wonder that they attract some misogynistic voters. I’m glad he didn’t win the by-election.

    I like many of the Green Party’s policies but they aren’t realistic in some of their proposals and much as I support human rights and in the past have highlighted many abuses, I don’t agree with some of their more recent foolish and divisive actions in their election campaign.
