This was an interesting read. It seems IW has taken to channeling Katie Hopkins. I'm not going to try and pull it apart as there is so so much wrong with it...

"I’m sure most people who use the site are decent folk. They want nothing to do with the rabid mouth-frothing going on by so-called “feminists.”"

Can nothing be done about prick news?

SirVixofVixHall · 24/04/2018 22:23

I agree teacup. My children are part Jewish, I feel the rage when the Nazis are used to mean “someone who disagrees with me and isn’t afraid to say so “ .

On the day when Jewish leaders in Germany are urging caution, including suggesting men do not wear the kippah in public in case of attacks and Jewish leaders in the UK are expressing disappointment with their meeting with Jeremy Corbyn, following sustained criticism and allegations of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party, it's actually incredibly crass and insulting for IW to try to draw parallels between an online forum that happens to be mostly used by women, some of whom are saying "hang on a minute, can we just talk about these proposals to change the law in a way that could really adversely impact me", and 1930s Germany Angry

Can anyone on Twitter tag in some people like Lynne Featherstone, Luciana Berger, Ruth Smeeth, Dominic Raab (all Jewish MPs), Melanie Phillips, Emily Maitlis, Vanessa Feltz, Will Self (all Jewish writers / journalists), Jewish Chronicle etc?

The fact they KNOW they are spouting lies as truth makes them pretty evil.

If you're reading, India, seek help and be kind! Go to chapel/church/mosque and get spiritual help in learning how to control your anger - you need it!

R0wantrees · 24/04/2018 21:37

Maybe India and LibDem LGBT+ twitter folk etc are hoping for another Stonewall rally?

Ellenripleysalienbaby · 24/04/2018 21:32

God, the fact that they keep mentioning that Section 28 thing when they must know by now that that was a sarcastic comment from someone on their side shows that, once again, they haven't got a leg to stand on. They can just fuck off.

Oh and that doctor can fuck off too.

It's always made me laugh with IW that you would change yourself into a middle aged woman and expect men to be falling at your feet. Big mistake there. I see a lot of bitterness in IWs behaviour TBH.

And yes IW is the perfect person to peak trans the nation.

R0wantrees · 24/04/2018 21:28

thebewilderness i think its much more recent...

thebewilderness · 24/04/2018 21:23

I think that IW had an epiphany at CBB that caused IW to change their position to favor pre op transgender identified males access to women and Self ID. You could see it on IW's face when they realized that not even they believed what they were shouting.

Am I the only one who got the memo to run up a dozen very large banners to line Pall Mall, then?

/s obviously (though it also obviously needs saying out loud ATM in case of disingenuous screen shotting)

Teacuphiccup · 24/04/2018 21:15

Ffs talk about invalidating someone’s experience, I think these people need to be taken to see what the Nazis actually did. It’s so fucking insensitive to claim that there’s any comparison between not wanting self id and mass genocide.
Seriously. It actually makes me feel sick.

"You are allowed whatever personal boundaries you want. But you don’t get to claim the term feminist until that boundary is inclusive of, and you promote the freedom and liberation of ALL women, including transwomen. Cause transwomen are women."

You don't get to claim the term feminist until you let men decide what feminism is and ensure that you don't have any boundaries against them, uppity women.

R0wantrees · 24/04/2018 21:10

Its interesting to see who amongst the TRAs are celebrating India's 'brave' stance....

AngryAttackKittens · 24/04/2018 21:06

Not content with peak transing the nation on CBB, India has now moved on to peak transing Twitter!

Seriously, this stuff is ridiculous. Prams? That "women know your place" Harry Enfield sketch wasn't intended as a how-to.

LizzieSiddal · 24/04/2018 21:02

IW doesn’t have much between the ears. Everything they say and write, seems to confirms this.

Lots of men don't hate women though. My job and most of my hobbies are mixed sex and we generally get on fine. I find the transwomen are women and have always been women m to f transsexuals seem to hate women who disagree with them more than many men who can cope with agreeing to disagree.

"Fell for the hysteria [...] nazis"

Pot, I'd like to introduce you to a dear old friend of mine. This is kettle.

DoctorTwo · 24/04/2018 20:32

I got banned from Twitter for saying a bloke in a frock is a bloke in a frock so I'll just refrain from offering an opinion.

Apparently it's hate speech, but "Kill all Terfs" deserves freedom of speech. Not my opinion obvs, just an observation

TerfAndSerf · 24/04/2018 20:30

Surely only the menfolk really know what women should be thinking about?

I'll take my tongue out of my cheek now, or else I'll never eat my Snickers bar....

DisturblinglyOrangeScrambleEgg · 24/04/2018 20:27

Also, Reluctant has to stop making amusing comments, because I've just had to explain this thread to DP, and he's baffled - and the poor dear just can't cope (he's doing the forehead rubbing thing...)
