Fucking wankers talking about Women's Achievements in 100 years

On the day that (some) women first for the vote 100 years ago, the wankers are pissing me off even more than usual.

We have Owen Fucking Jones going on about the suffragettes when he's at the top of the list for advocating loss of women's rights

Lorraine has men dresses up as women celebrating 'women'

And all over the news is how far we have come, the day after Women's fucking Aid said they would employ male bodied people to act as counsellors to abused women in shelters.

Fuck the fuck off

To be fair, I feel Shane does stand up for and speaks up about women's rights a lot. He makes an effort to find out and learn and listen. And I'd rather it was him than India for example, as Shane at least never claims to be a woman. But I do think it's inappropriate really.

Actually, some lower class men didn't get the vote until later did they, but Shon is posh anyway!

Owen Jones has also been retweeting Shon Fucking Faye. Who seems to have completely missed the point that 100 years ago he would have had a vote, even if he wasn't rich or over 30 BECAUSE HE IS A BLOKE.

What do these dickheads think the denial of a women's right to vote was based on ? Their 'gender identity'? Their 'inner feeling'?
Their 'ladybrain'? No it was their biology. Their female body. Their XX chromosomes. That's it, nothing more. The presence vagina, breasts, uterus meant that people thought they weren't worthy of being part of democracy. But apparently to refer to any of that stuff now is transphobic and excludes trans people. Fuck off. Are these people so hard of thinking that they can't make that connection. Do they really lack that much self awareness?

Shon, you are not the same as a BAME, disabled or lesbian woman because you are a man.

Argh!

Courtney Act/Shane J is not a woman and has never professed to be. Im actually really disappointed that he agreed to take part in that. Sad

It was the inclusion of men-in-dresses in relation to 100-years-women's-votes that tipped me into #peaktrans.

Oh God who did Lorraine have on?

Riverside2 · 06/02/2018 16:16

"Lorraine has men dresses up as women celebrating 'women'"

no she DIDN'T

(I'm not doubting you, just expressing my horror)

WTAF is wrong with everyone?

As Julie Bindel said today, the suffragettes were demonised in their time. They were unnatural, unladylike etc. These two men, who have no idea what a sodding woman even is, would have been right there, demonising them for standing up for their rights, for not deferring to men.

Hirples is right about Women's Aid.

The rest is exceedingly angry-making.

Owen Jones is such a hypocrite, I wonder if he knows or somehow does the mental somersaults to hide it from himself.

HirplesWithHaggis · 06/02/2018 15:54

WA haven't said that at all, they're reviewing policies.

Outcome might be the same, but give them a chance.

Ekphrasis · 06/02/2018 15:51

Yep. It's fucking annoying.

(I also found it amusing that your thread sat beside this one in my app:

Women have told everyone to just fuck offwww.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3160944-women-have-told-everyone-to-just-fuck-off )
