They’re hosting a Women Making History March and guess who’s hosting it?

Shon, who gloatingly told a woman recently to ‘enjoy your erasure’.

Latest from Shon.

Shon, if you’re reading this, you really, truly, won’t.

That is YOUR punishment for your hatred of women.

If I hadn’t stopped my Dd to amnesty over the sex work thing, I’d be stopping it for this. Wankers.

BTW, not for the first time I wish we had a like button on here, wishiwas and Ereshkigal

It’s like we are inhabiting a horrible parallel universe where the organisations like Labour and Amnesty are now openly showing their contempt and hatred for women and stamping out independent speech and thought. Nightmarish.

Exactly this. It's really awful. As a student I was a member of Amnesty, I've written letters etc. But they've lost the fucking plot with this MRA agenda - pro sexual exploitation of women and girls and pro TIM and erasure of women as an oppressed sex class.

We're just not getting it, are we. We are the people with the hurty feelings, who aren't being nice and woke and inclusive. We're cruel and hurtful to vulnerable people who will kill themselves if we aren't nice. And we seem to have contempt for ordinary women trying to earn a living in the way women know best. Shame on us. Shame. If only we were men we'd be able to see the situation clearly and dispassionately like they do.

Rage! Signed. Amnesty lost me when they voted for the legalisation of prostitution. How bloody dare they? We matter, damn you! And we aren’t shutting up.

....and of course Laurie Penny steps in with her important thoughts.

Signed. (And it's over 1k now.)

If I have time on Saturday i will go hand in a letter to my local Amnesty bookshop. I would be so ashamed to be working there (they are good people) and having national Amnesty do this in my name.

link to the Rolling Stone article mentioned at the top of the page:
www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/6-reasons-to-be-wary-of-amnestys-prostitution-policy-20160601

concludes,
"Amnesty's proposal perverts human-rights and women's-rights principles. It sacrifices the concerns and welfares of the vast majority of prostitutes, who are caught in an exploitative and brutal industry. As a result, Amnesty has staked out a position that will be a boon to pimps and sex traffickers, and will do great damage to the human rights of the men, women and children caught in the sex industry."

I am actually looking forward to the next unfortunate Amnesty chugger to cross my path.

I cannot believe where we are, i'm just...speechless

AsAProfessionalFekko · 14/05/2018 20:40

They weren't out today - it was someone else (animal charity I think) .... I will keep an eye out though.

MrsFogi · 14/05/2018 20:35

I will be on the look out for Amnesty chuggers to peak-trans about this.

AncientLights · 14/05/2018 20:27

I can't see the Twitter link. Are AI like the LibDems Twitter account in that they are viewed as 'outsourced' & not the responsibility of the main organisation? Kiss of death if so I think.

Ereshkigal · 14/05/2018 20:07

Radical feminists I guess. But "women" would go with the "making women history" theme.

Yeah, that didn't make sense. What was the context?

AncientLights · 14/05/2018 19:55

'These people whose time has passed'??? Is that us, women?

Speechless.

AsAProfessionalFekko · 14/05/2018 19:51

I wonder who she spoke to?

I would have loved to have been in that staff meeting when they discussed the Important Topics - torture, war rape, false imprisonment abroad, executions, child soldiers... and, of course, the hurty feelings of certain people.

I'dve handed in my badge.

wishiwassizeeight · 14/05/2018 19:50

Today from Amnesty LBGTI. We are not women any more. Just ‘these people’ whose ‘time have passed’.

No words.

Someone on a FB group I’m in called Amnesty to complain today. She was very nervous and called Shon ‘he’. The idiot handmaiden on the phone told her that she would end the call if it happened again.

The hideous irony of an organisation like Amnesty, and all they stand for, silencing women for speaking the truth.
