If you're not familiar with this supposed physician (yes, really), then you need to get over to Twitter and see this.

Harrop seems to spend most of his time harassing and insulting natal women whilst unquestionably supporting trans women. He is hiding behind his "medical expertise" and using it to shout women down.

It's both hilarious and terrifying! Shock

Wow. Another “Go away and reflect and learn your lesson” from him.
He clearly hasn’t learnt anything yet.

This 12 yo thing.

Saying that objecting to 12yo girls being married off (euphemism for raped) is colonial nonsense.

What he means, really

Is that the idea that 12yo girls are actual whole people who deserve to be afforded human rights, and not just sex / work / breeding objects

Is a recent / "western" phenomenon

And who is to say which view is right? Maybe the correct view is that 12yo girls are sex and work and breeding objects, not full people, and not worthy of human rights

This is a debate he believes is worth having, because, he thinks that there is merit in that view of 12 yo girls.

You can think for yourself why he and dr christian feel that there is a worthwhile debate there.

You see. They only see things from a male perspective. What do men want? In X country they want to "marry" 12yo girls. So, let's talk.

Like the watching porn in schools thing. I saw that on the telly. Was going on about it at my husband.

Vast majority of porn is highly msogynistic, it depicts men "doing stuff" to young women, and it's all about the man, most does not even pretend that the woman is enjoying it, it's a display of sexual domination. What will it say to a class full of boys and girls, making them sit down to watch that together? The boys and girls in a classroom setting, watching young women get essentially abused on screen?

The women on the panel were ???

He said (or another bloke, can't remember) that it would be really good as the teacher could have a conversation with the boys and reassure them about their penis size. Yes becasue obviously that's the most important thing. ALL about males, their view, their experience, woman and girls as objects, 2D, not real, supporting actors in the male lead's story.

I have seen far too much of this muppet on Twitter. I thought he was some sort of piss take account at first!

Terfing · 11/05/2018 13:43

He seems to have taken Sandy's picture in surprisingly light-hearted way. I thought he would throw a tantrum!

Sandy I think you have to change your name to "Sandy draws rather well and does uncannily accurate caricatures..."

ReluctantCamper · 11/05/2018 13:37

To misquote the marvellous Linda Smith, I'm not keen on this chap getting the oxygen of oxygen, let alone the oxygen of publicity, so after reading one tweet of his I try to stay away from him.

he's just a noisy little man on twitter, he doesn't have any real influence.

ToeToToe · 11/05/2018 13:34

SandyDrawsBadly I think I actually love you.

It must take excellent artistry skills to make them look so sinister.

( ^Joke. They look far more sinister in real life. )

He has re-tweeted a few anti-MN posts now

Can't help but think this might be an own goal on his part if the result is to send more traffic this way... Wink

staydazzling · 11/05/2018 13:24

wow! i hope it gains traction and damages his image (as mean as that sounds) referring to death threats as a valuable lesson.

Ereshkigal · 11/05/2018 13:20

He is behaving more like a drunk teenager than a professional man. he comes across as self important, nasty, patronising, intolerant and misogynistic.

This.

2rebecca · 11/05/2018 13:19

Most GP partnerships contain some women and female GPs tend to believe in biology. I think the power of twitter has gone to his head and he isn't thinking enough about how he comes across to women who might be contemplating working with him. He is exploiting his "doctor" status on his pic and in his title to try and get extra credibility but I think this will come back to bite him on the bum if future potential partners look at social media.

At the moment he seems unaware that looking like someone who gets off on scolding women is not a good look.

Pro tip Adrian: mix it up a bit and scold more men, it's much less obvious that way.

I hope he's never my GP.

"Diagnosis: Witch"
"Treatment: Burning at the stake"

Mrssnips · 11/05/2018 12:54

@TrumpTrump trainee GPs are qualified doctors who are undertaking specialist GP training, so yes he can call himself a doctor cos he is one.

Terfing · 11/05/2018 12:50

He has re-tweeted a few anti-MN posts now... I think we hit a nerve!

nauticant · 11/05/2018 12:50

At some point there's going to be some thorough deleting of tweets from his twitter account, Toby Young style. I wish there was an app that worked as a twitter hoover so you could point it at a particular account and it would save all the tweets.

leyat · 11/05/2018 12:43

You know what though, we aren't the only ones who see this. He was literally tweeting GIFs of witches last night in reference to feminist women, in addition to calling us 'a coven'. The fact that these brocialists are so clearly and publicly reveling in their misogyny is backfiring. And of course now he's defending child female rape, he's gonna find himself increasingly lonely; he will forever be that man now.

ToeToToe · 11/05/2018 12:42

Yes, unruly women must be "educated" and "learn their lesson".

Aunt Lydia-style, no doubt.

NonSuchFun · 11/05/2018 12:38

OMG AssignedPuuurfect I hadn’t seen that one. He’s really truly awful. I bet he’s popular with the nurses and other women he works with, (most nurses and many Dr’s being female).

Yes, should really spare the blood pressure and block him and Dr C but then I think I should keep an eye on them. Dr C is drunk on his intellectual superiority and TV success, he thinks he is invincible but pride before a fall and all that.

Raglansleeve · 11/05/2018 11:56

He’s all about women learning their lesson isn’t he?

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 11/05/2018 11:52

More 'lessons' that The Good Dr thinks women should learn.

About women insisting on stating facts in court

Dr Adrian Harrop, who the funk does he think he is?
leyat · 11/05/2018 11:50

When he's not telling a woman that she is a terrible mother who has probably harmed her child because she has struggled in some ways as single mother in a sexist society and dares talk about that, he's telling women that we are just a bunch of stereotypes men can ID into, thereby erasing our sex based oppression, and he's saying that child rape is fine when those girls aren't white and aren't being raped by white men, and he's referring to feminists as 'a coven', and telling us we should 'learn' from death threats from men, that we're just awful witches who need to submit to male authority.

While he's doing all this he is totally getting off on abusing women. I blocked him on Twitter and advised others to do so for this reason.
