"Jen Izaakson reports from the courtroom, as Tara Wolf is tried for assaulting Maria MacLachlan."
Includes background to the involvement of Class War and Sisters Uncut

concludes:
"Particularly ironic is the fact that Class War are loud critics of what they call “carceral feminism,” a pejorative term used to smear feminists who seek justice through the legal system. Class War criticize women who telephone the police about crimes, including male violence, yet the officers informed us that they had received a phone call from the “other group in court” alerting them of our arrival. Apparently, the Class War activists couldn’t stomach our jubilation and camaraderie, or having to watch women relish a celebratory pint. What they could stomach, however, was throwing their anti-cop politics in the bin, phoning the police over a group consisting mainly of middle-aged lesbians. Some of them even came outside to smile at the police presence barring our crossing the road to the pub.

Later that evening Wolf posted a comment on Facebook saying that MacLachlan was “a man,” so therefore Wolf’s violence was “actually misandry.” Later that night he changed his Facebook name to “Tara The TERF Slayer.”

Women who want to exercise their right to free association, freedom of assembly, and who want to organize as women, should not have to face male violence as MacLauchlan did.

Feminists are indebted to all women who seek to hold violent men accountable and who assert and defend women’s legal rights to freedom and equality and protection from male violence under the law."

Phoning the police afterwards seems to be another attempt to portray themselves as the victims.

I note that the crowdfunder for voice surgery mentions failure to obtain hormones from the gender clinic. This implies that Wolf is not dysphoric and may actually be AGP.

So if any woman dares to call a transwoman a "man" it's a transphobic hate crime, but if a transwoman calls a woman a man, it's ok? Confused

Fuck me, they really are absolutely bonkers aren't they!

Current issue for some NUS Trans/ Women's officers is the exclusion of those born female and identify as transmen in some situations on the basis of the 'misogyny' & 'transmisogyny' of transmen towards transwomen including those transwomen who are non binary...
Confused

Class War wannabes are a massive issue for the left, always have been, in that they are anti-left as much as they are anti-right and anti-centre.

They ruined so many good things during the string of Miners' Benefit events. Thank god they never managed to fuck up Greenham.

And yes I have a long memory ^^

Where's that fantastic meme of the antifa youth vs the older women? Grin

Men beating women is anti-capitalist:

Also note the wonderful irony that Class War called the police to stop Maria's supporters from entering the pub where they were celebrating.

8th rule of misogyny: Men are whatever men say they are and women are whatever men say they are.

Xenophile · 28/04/2018 20:23

Bewilderness, you're going to have to print up tee-towels with those rules on at some point.

thebewilderness · 28/04/2018 20:41

You would think that after all these years men would attempt to refute them but instead they double down.

Is it weird that the appropriation of Buffy really upsets me?

terryleather · 28/04/2018 21:03

No it's not weird Icantreach, I feel the same.

They can keep their bloody appropriating hands of Buffy!

I was going to hashtag that all slayers have vaginas - but when you run the words together it looks like shave vaginas... so I left it. But nevertheless, it is true.
