Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4There is sexual abuse in all organisations from the catholic church to FG/Labour to Sinn fein to SP. All should be dealing with it.
Thing is, the right only care about this subject if they can use it to damage political opponents and get elected. They don't actually give a rats ass about women's rights.
By jumping on the bandwagon at this particular time, all you are doing is helping right wing forces and their captive media to score pre election points.
I'm happy if the newspapers highlight sexual abuse in sinn fein's past provided they make an equal effort to highlight sexual abuse in FG's past and Labour's past and FF's past. But they won't do this. They'll just keep splashing this story on the front pages and trying their damnedest to put the words "child abuse" and "sinn fein" and "gerry adams" in the same sentence as many times as they possibly can hoping it will stick.
They did exactly the same thing to Julian Assange and many others. It's a tried and tested process.
Don't be drawn into dealing with the issue of sexual abuse in left leaning political parties on a timetable which best serves the electoral strategy of the right.
Of course, lets do it. We must. But let's do it on our own timetable. After the next election might be a better time.
Thank you for your post whoever you are. But I feel you prove my point. The special oppression of women and violence against women must always put off until other issues are solved. Of course this means violence against women and the special oppression of women will never be solved. This is the approach of most of the revolutionary left. This is what you are asking be domne in relation to the present crisis of SF. john throne.
No womens rights or sexual abuse must NOT be put off "until every other issue is solved" (implying that is the case is disingenuous).
But elections are a special case, you know this. It should be put off until after the next election, or it gives a blatant propaganda advantage to the right
to see the left wash it's dirty laundry in public during the election. And they will take full advantage. Thats election strategy 101.
However you can be certain you won't see the right implementing any extra women friendly legislation or rooting out sexual abuse in
THEIR organisations in public after they get elected again (due to vote losses through bad publicity on left perhaps?)
So yeah John, be a useful idiot at election time and get the boot into the left while it's most helpful to the right.
Nice one. And enjoy your next right wing government and the new TTIP and military spending and undermining of
hospitals and wages and slave labour schemes (all of which also affect women)
Then watch as abuse figures spiral in society (as they do) when poverty increases and families come under increasing financial pressure thanks to continuing right wing policies. ("gee if only we'd voted differently maybe THAT extra abuse could have been prevented!")
and meanwhile you can keep whining in your articles about how the left are divisive and sectarian and won't work together to kick out the right and change society, and how they sabotage their own, and you just keep doing this for yet another 5 years of right wing lockstep government, people who certainly won't be doing any self examination of themselves in a hurry. Hell they might even give you a job as one of their useful lefty pets. Lot of those about.
This comment proves my points . Voter, whoever he or she is, i strongly suspect it is a he, wants the struggle against the special oppression of women to be put off to after the election. What happens if we have a similar situation after the next election. Put this struggle off again. This comment also proves my other point. Rather than a decent discussion it is full of insults and sectarian abuse. John Throne
