I admire your, Julie Anne's and other female or minority politicians' courage. Not sure I could do your work while on the receiving end of so much vile abuse. Please, keep doing what you do. There are way more people quietly and not so quietly supporting you than there are awful abusive people.

Yes I wonder what they teach their own daughters- that they are so worthless that if they express an opinion someone doesn't like that they should expect/deserve abuse like that?

Once a gentleman holding the hand of his 5/6yo daughter said “f*ck you Mayor” and I was more horrified he’d said it in front of her. She looked sad 😢

That is dreadful - poor girl. So many women in public life getting this.

I am so so sorry you have to deal with that kind of cr@p

I personally believe that if victims of this vile shit, or their supporters, are unable to have this abuse removed and its perpetrators banned or prosecuted, the New Zealand government has a duty to force Meta/Xitter from New Zealand entirely. It's simply not good enough that it's tolerated.

Just horrible, people are vile.

miravox.bsky.social•6 hours ago

That's a hard read. Of course, because of what they wrote, but also because they don't even feel there's anything shameful about putting it out there under their own names.

Everyone I see attacking women on FB are 99%

Wealthy middle class recently retired white man,
Bogan car,
Or happy family profile.

All locked accounts.

Yep. Add a motorbike too.

miravox.bsky.social•5 hours ago

I just don't understand why they would do that :-(

missfluss.bsky.social•5 hours ago

neither

The tragic thing about reading Emily Writes article is that none of those FB comments are surprising, and none of those people will feel any shame.

Absolutely disgusting. A bunch of vile people. So sorry women have to put up with this and the cowards who refuse to disclaim

Horrific. At a time when we more than ever need clever, talented people in government, why would you? Especially if you're a woman. There has to be consequences.
