Everyone should see this IMPORTANT

This is the way abusive males behave, provoke and then criticise the reaction. Women who have been in abusive relationships will recognise this behaviour.

How can they tell they were cis and not trans.

Next they'll officially stop campaigning against VAWG & just focus on trans rights.

From the Sisters Uncut page:

At an event that claimed to be all about safe space for women, it’s worth noting that most of the physical violence enacted against us was by cis men.

No one reading that would realise those masked protesters were almost all male!

Bristol Sisters uncut are at least honest that 'sisters' no longer represents their membership accurately, this quote from their last meeting report:
'We felt that the name “Sisters Uncut” does not represent us and is an exclusionary name for various reasons, including being trans-exclusionary and having connotations with concepts of non-intersectional “Universal Sisterhood”. We propose a name change, for which suggestions are very welcome!'

So maybe they will go with misters uncut, who knows.

Their FB post from the night before the event is telling. Advising their attendees to wear masks, refuse to identify themselves, no comment with the police, refuse duty solicitor etc.

Hardly the expectation of people planning a peaceful protest

The guys outside are from Bristol antifascists same dudes who disrupted a Rees mogg talk and got faced down by him and left with their tails between their legs. I guess now they can't even intimidate a lanky Tory, let alone any actual fascists, they're now having a go at middle aged women instead.

Or Brian Paddick

I wonder if any of this will find it’s way into the C4 TV programme?

Yes that’s it now. Thanks empress

Sorry Zib, not sure what happened there. This should work.

Can someone tweet these films to Jess Phillips?

I’m not sure why but I’m getting an error message when I click the link to sister uncut Facebook page empress

Obnoxious, self-righteous brats. Definitely not doing a thing to help their cause.

It's clear from their Facebook post "celebrating" and this video that they are basically just trying to provoke the women so they would be able to cry "assault " I'm fucking glad no one there rose to it. Bravo!

Presumably anyone who saw anything about the Tara/Tanis Wolf trial will be aware that they are thugs and women constantly presenting themselves as not in any way violent is very powerful. They go low ... etc etc.

Britain's youth being told, diddums, although you're bright enough to be here, you won't cope with people disagreeing with you. And a small bunch of people saying what views you can have. So when someone rationally challenges them they just use brute force.

This has got to change, or we are heading to a very dark place as a society as a whole, over and above anything to do with the GRA stuff.

They posted the video because men were claiming they were thrown down the stairs.
It looks like they were trying to block cameras and in one case tying to take a phone from one of the women.
DARVO doesn't work as well for abusers when there is video.

I am so so so impressed by how calm they stayed. Poor show by the police though.

The 'are we the baddies' sketch came to my mind too

I an not “cis” Hermione!

I've always been a bit over dramatic according to my mother!!

she might have slight point!

I hope every one of them gets ID'd

Well there is one individual dropping heavy hints on Julie Bindel's FB post that they were there. For example: 'Quite a few people (including cis women) did get handy with the venue's security later on, although clearly this didn't happen seeing as you believe that women are incapable of violence.' Also ' I wonder why Julie and her beta version instantly whipped out the cameras and started posting close ups of people online and started personally harassing one of my friends before deleting the tweet.'

Can I just ask why stuff like this is only posted on the Feminism board - surely this needs more traffic. Worrying doesn't cover it.

I can't see this kind of behaviour changing anytime soon with student unions etc no platforming and crapping on about safe spaces. The "cream" of Britain's youth being told, diddums, although you're bright enough to be here, you won't cope with people disagreeing with you. And a small bunch of people saying what views you can have. So when someone rationally challenges them they just use brute force.

I was thinking more just to record and publish the shit we put up with on a daily basis and when we try to meet and discuss issues. But er, thanks! grin

There is a video that a man took following along after a woman walking through London. It shows exactly what she has to put up with every step of the way. I think body camera are an excellent idea.
