The FiLiA Women's Liberation Conference was targeted overnight, the attackers even live tweeted the violence.

Local politicians are so far silent.

This is literally terrorism, using fear and violence to shut down legitimate peaceful discussions.

You're comparing some broken windows and spray paint to an empty building in the middle of the night to years of systematic oppression, sexual violence and living under war lords. It's not really the same thing is it? In fact, it sounds a bit psycho.

Do you? Well, if you say so.

Why would you think that posters wouldn’t want the world to see the behaviour of these people?

@FirstCuppa what is MAWFS? (I sound like the Dowager Countess, sorry)

I actually misunderstood your point. Sorry, I thought you meant there had been peace in terms of stuff like this happening. And I was thinking, really, was there? I didn't realise you meant on the board sorry. I'm not here very often.

When was there a break? I was ill for a chunk of 2023 so I might well have missed it.

Maybe I was mistaken but on here for a month or two you could say the word trans without summoning a derailing demon.
As you've seen on the MAFS UK thread, we got through 5 nearly 6 threads before a couple came on and made it all about them while telling us what they would and wouldn't let us discuss...🙄
It's no wonder everyone is hating on them if they can't even leave MAFS out of it. Even I feel like a bad feminist for watching it.

It's been lovely having a break for a while.
Wondered where they'd gone?

Ha ha, when I got home and saw there were 97 new replies on this thread I knew the TRAs had turned up 😆

If a man smashes an inanimate object near to a woman she is advised to leave. Its a sign of danger and him demonstrating “you’re next”. How on earth is this any different to that? The minimising is disgusting. We see you. Traliban indeed.

They are left wing when the left pander to them and the right wants to protect women and girls (when it comes to this subject - not others).

The right’s motivations may not be championing women and girls but they aren’t the ones calling for men in women’s space. We need to accept this is a left wing problem.

Not all people on the left think this way. It's not as clear cut as you assume.

Terrifying. Why are these men like this?

Do they think wearing a dress somehow means this isn't a violent crime that proves they are just men who hate women?

They've come back like a bad smell recently and I'd love to know why. Really was a nice break for a while. I think the public has definitely seen through them though, largely because it's so bloody obvious they don't even like women.

Yes, i’m sure your little comment sounded good in your head though, sorry to disappoint.

Always with the lack of self awareness.

HerewardtheSleepy · 10/10/2025 17:50

Do you? Well, if you say so.

Absolutely we do. The more the world sees their violent, unreasonable nature, the better. Already Wes Streeting has called them out.

I think we all want them to have plenty of publicity so I’m not sure what your point is.

Smashed windows and spray paint is hardly "hold the front page" stuff and your reference to the Taliban and "violently preventing women from congregating, communicating and networking" is complete hyperbole.

Still, I am sure they are glad of the publicity you have given them OP.

Their name is literally promising violence against people who have challenged them.
