[Staunch feminist Harriet Harman was accused of patronising females after unveiling her “16-seater woman mobile”.

It will take campaigners on a “Woman to Woman” tour — targeting some of the nine million females who did not vote last time.

But left-wing commentator Kevin Maguire tweeted of the vehicle, dubbed the Barbie bus:
“PINK? I’d have expected Harriet Harman to demand a blue election battlebus to fight gender stereotypes.”]

Considering the Yes campaign for the referendum was clearly patronising to women he can't talk can he?...

If they wanted to attract women to vote for Labour using a van, they should have thrown some shoes out of the window instead :idc:

[Ninastar]

disgusting colour stereotyping that is damaging society!!! how dare they!!!!!!!!?

MP Harmen was just Live on
SkyNewsHD
she accepted some women will not want to talk to her team
due to the Pink Van

[joeysteele]

Storm in a teacup and most people were saying it was eyecatching.

Had they used blue, it would have been criticised as that is the Conservatives colour, in fact any colour would have been criticised by 'opponents' and non supporters.

I would question the reason for doing this at all but in the end if it did some good and got people talking, that's fine by me.

[Nedusa]

Are they going after the Gay vote...? perhaps the Lesbian vote, how many of them don't normally vote in General Elections.

[Amy Jade]

Who approves this marketing. :laugh:

Probably some Quango or Think Tank who was allocated a few million quid in fees and salaries, paid for out of the party donations of ordinary, hard-working, tax-paying people Annie.

I want to know where the outcry is from the 'Women's Liberation Army', the 'British National FemNazi Party', and 'The Keep Gay British Van Drivers Closeted - White Vans Only' movement?

I mean, just demeaning women's intellect by assuming they will be swayed to vote Labour because of a pink van is unforgivable.

All it's done for me is make me see RED,and I've turned the air BLUE with my language, because I'm thoroughly BROWNED off by such stupidity. :bawling:

Haha, precisely what I was thinking as soon as I saw this. It would be some brass neck they have if they come driving through the streets of my town in a pink van claiming they are in interests of women.

Yes a Great Clever Remix

[Livia]

I don't have a problem with a pink bus. By turning it into a feminist issue they're detracting from the message which is, fewer women vote - let's do something about that. I don't see the gay community making a big fuss over the colour pink, the pink pound, pink triangle symbols etc.

It is patronising, but have you seen the amount of dozy women/girls who overdo the pink, pink clothes, pink handbags, pink phones etc. Sometimes women/girls are their own worst enemies.

[Northern Monkey]

Bloody women always moaning about something.
Poor Harriet spent ages making a nice pretty pink van for the ladies and all they can do moan:blush:

Seriously though.If this is an issue it's a very confusing one for the Feminazis.
On the one hand it's just so demeaning to women making that bus pink,How stereotypical.
On the other hand are we saying that the colour pink can never be associated with femininity at all ever again?Maybe making an issue of it is counter productive and makes them look over sensitive.Really who cares what colour it is?
If it was blue and aimed at men i would'nt be up in arms.It is afterall just a colour.
The Breast cancer logo is pink too and aimed at awareness for women but who complains about that?
Maybe women/girls are just more perceptive to that colour than men?Maybe not.I don't see an issue.

[Northern Monkey]

It is patronising, but have you seen the amount of dozy women/girls who overdo the pink, pink clothes, pink handbags, pink phones etc. Sometimes women/girls are their own worst enemies.I see nothing wrong with women liking pink.They are well within their rights to like whatever colour they choose.Who are we to oppress anybodies freedom of choice?
Some girls like pink.Some guys like pink.Who cares?

[Vicky.]

Seems pointless to me tbh, people who dont vote (either because they dont care, or they realise that whichever shower of **** we have in, its still a shower of ****) won't be suddenly interested in politics because they see a pink van :crazy:

A Feminist stereotyping her own gender, she's not exactly helped the cause has she?

And also this thread title sounds like it's trying to gather a group of criminals or is it just me that thinks this?:joker:

[joeysteele]

I fail to grasp the fuss as to this really.

I also don't see the need for her to be going around in this 'bus' at all, regardless of what colour it is.
Every city any member of any party goes to should always have the visitors looking out to talk to all voters as to their concerns.

However, if she achieves any success with this then it is probably on balance worth a try.
What though the fuss as to the colour is, is beyond me, where is the ridicule and moaning at the breast cancer charities fundraising for women always using the colour pink too as to that women's issue.

I have no problem with it at all,justa s if it anything directed at men were also to be under the colour blue banner.
Storm in a teacup again for me and petty fault finding.

One thing Hattie Harperson does well however, is no matter what she does, or sets out to do, she gets people talking as to it,so in that sense as to this I guess this worked.

[the truth]

so are men banned from entering this pink bus? which in turn is discriminatory
