Rose McGowan video

Funny how the article in the link above was written by a trans woman. Not biased at all.
Andi spouting bullshit that he helped his friend who was raped and a young girl from being pimped out is his contribution to woman. Just wow.

I dispise the language they use to get the sympathy vote. The big nasty terfs will come and get me so I might kill myself, and, denying us is fucking genocide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. How utterly appalling and yet completely unsurprising.

Although it would make a tidy ending to the story if HW was somehow involved in getting AD to go after RM, I don't think someone like AD really needs much of an incentive to publicly humiliate a woman. I'm willing to bet he is loving all the international attention and validation his actions have created. Sick.

That New Yorker article has my eyes out on stalks.

Poor, poor, Rose. That makes what this despicable wanker Dyer has done so much worse. Does Dyer have the slightest, tiniest inkling of what she's been though? No. Nor does he give a shit, going by this tirade of self pity

Where is his compassion for Rose? Nowhere, that's where. It never is. These types don't give a shit about women. They hate us. It's horrifying. It breaks my heart that in that video, Rose is trying to be appeasing, calling Dyer sister - and then you can almost see the realisation dawn on her that it will never, ever be enough. God, she looked like she needed a hug. I hope she has good people round her

I don't honestly believe that Weinstein would be involved with someone like Dyer. Dyer is an opportunist and a predator. A male and a sexual predator.

That New Yorker article is extraordinary.

For those who don't have time to read, Weinstein hired a PI/ industrial espionage firm whose operatives pretended to be women's rights/civil liberties activists (even going to the lengths of creating a website and fictitious London address for their offices) in order to contact Weinstein's victims and others associated with the case to try to get out of them how much they knew and what they were likely to say (and presumably also to try to collect snippets of information in order to discredit them).

I suspect that the claim (on this thread not in the NY article) that Dyer was in Weinstein's pay is a bit too far fetched; however I wouldn't be surprised if some third party (possibly the sort of agency mentioned in the article) knew he could be used as a "useful idiot", wound him up and let him go. After all this sort of person wouldn't be that hard to manipulate - a few well timed tweets from a supposed ally suggesting he crash the event and "put his side of things" and Bob's your uncle (or possibly your auntie - who can tell these days?)

I keep falling down twitter rabbit holes, reading comments on posts, following links to other profiles and it just makes everything seem so much worse. It seems like the death of critical thinking. We are not allowed to question or think or object. It is madness.

Have just finished reading the New Yorker article. Holy fucking crap!

There really are no lengths that these sorry excuses for human beings won't go to to keep hold of power are there?

Shocking, but not surprising 😠

My own view is that the New Yorker article linked is a very well researched investigative piece of journalism. It's just excellent. The Federalist link is an opinion piece article, valuable none the less.

Thank you Elendon

Nautical I just came here to post that. I can't fucking believe the people defending him and calling the twitter user who posted that 'scum' - someone also said they're going to report her for harassment! FFS! Completely overlooking it. But let's all feel sorry for the poor paedophilic perverted disgusting piece of shit of a man.
I am so angry. So, so angry.

Yes, this has me particularly incensed Sophocles. The good news is that it's so high profile that it will be opening some eyes and starting conversations.

Here is a vomit inducing twitter thread about the man who attacked Rose McGowan:

I had read about the accusations of sexual assaults in which he was implicated and the above thread shows some of his social media imprint into fetishism, especially of child sexual abuse and race.

See Assigned's post upthread for the Federalist link.

New Yorker is considered in the USA to have a left wing bias. The Federalist is right wing.

Here's the new yorker one. Written by Ronan Farrow.

Do you have a link CAAKE ?

The Federalist and New Yorker articles are good. Very good.

That's the venue that I sent my email to AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth

thefederalist.com/2018/02/03/rose-mcgowan-punished-refusing-harassed-trans-activist/

Just tentatively checked my Twitter account and have had some very positive responses to my tweets re Rose McGowan and also about the TRAs. Even had a thank you from Gabe for my support of his stance. Just waiting for a bit of backlash now..

Will post this link here. The background to Weinstein and the Rose McGowan revelations. It's a long read but essential to understanding Rose's anger on this.

have posted on your other thread, CAAKE.

I am absolutely fizzing about this this morning. How fucking DARE people defend this guy and chuck a sexual abuse victim under the bus and then conclude they’ve done something good for society? how can people be just so DIM?? I despair.

Has anyone shared this thread with her?

What I can’t get over is the fact people are still defending that man on twitter despite his very public penchant for very young girls spanning years. Why was he never reported before and if he was why was nothing done about it? The girls now coming forward appear not to be a surprise to those that know him

Because who cares about abused girls? They’re just little Lolitas aren’t they? I mean, think about Rotherham etc etc. This sort of thing is one of those moments which reveals the extent of normalised naturalised misogyny in which we live.

And we all need to pile in on Twitter and anywhere else against the Women’s March, who are taking this TRA abuser’s side against Rose McGowan. It’s almost unbelievable.

Urgh it makes me so angry.

I’ve noticed that people have started using the #istandwithrose hashtag again over the last 48 hours to show support for Rose McGowan - it was used initially during the Weinstein revelations last year.
