...I have to leave Home Depot.
Hello there r/LabourUK, I’m Jackie Weaver, Chief Officer of the Cheshire Association of Local Councils (ChALC) . You might recognise me from a certain Handforth Parish Council Zoom meeting which put me in the spotlight! Ever since then, I’ve been using the opportunity to raise awareness about the vitally underappreciated work within local politics, and also the role and challenges faced by women and young people in public life.
Since the meeting went viral, I’ve been contacted by upwards of 1,000 (mainly) women who have expressed the issues they have faced in politics or any position of decision-making: from being regularly dismissed, abuse, and patronising behaviours. From this, I am keen to spark debate, begin a real conversation and find the next steps we should take to work through these issues.
In this, I have also spoken, to Nadia Whittome MP, The Parliament Project (@theParliamentP), various media such as The Last Leg, and today, I’m speaking to you!
I’ll be responding to your questions from 6 till 7pm this Wednesday, so put your questions in the comments below. I thoroughly look forward to answering them.

As you may already know, today was International Women's Day, and google has a doodle dedicated to it.
One post in r/goodanimemes was made in light of this. They respond in what you may consider stereotypical weeb fashion.
The thread is now currently locked, but not before some chaps could give their input on google doodles regarding International Women's and Men's Day.
As a friendly reminder, International Men's Day is November 19th.
Actually google has done doodles for both Einstein and Newton.
This is not true gender equality
Remember, being a man is offensive and sexist.
Because in today's world if your not a victim you don't matter. /s
I was trying to celebrate woman’s day, but I couldn’t come up with anything they accomplished.

I am having a bad Monday I guess, but I am just over the bullshit. I got 12 weeks of maternity leave and I was LUCKY! And even with that, my boss still called and emailed and texted.
My company fired an extremely smart woman recently and promoted a man who is wildly unqualified.
We have two female directors.... both are in HR. I just hate the bullshit. Stop with the pretend LinkedIn posts. Either promote qualified women, or shut up!
