Followers of Genderism tactics

It seems Followers of Genderism and trans rights extremists are picking a topic per day to go after. Today is attacking women who are discussing mental health in relation to the shift in women’s rights and being forced lie and erode safeguarding and dignity.

I think it would be interesting to discuss their tactics and the ways in which they try to derail valid topics and the valid concerns of women.

If you’ve noted their tactics please share here.

You know how if you want to cook tofu certain ways you have to squish all the liquid out of it first? Maybe that's what we can use the "no but you have failed to understand how unique and amazing I am, allow me to explain" comments for if we print them out.

I came on here totally with you feminists but you’re all so nasty I’ve changed my mind.

The obvious appeals to our female socialisation, usually accompanied by multiple novel-length autobiographical posts? These usually result in a flounce if not immediately fawned over.

Adding another in!

‘I came on here totally with you feminists but you’re all so nasty I’ve changed my mind.’

Have you learned your lesson? (I do hope not...)

What do you think? Grin

bd67th, crikey, I think that would make that one of the sharpest, most brittle off the cuff flippant jokes I've ever made.

Sadly, it just coincidence and a trip to Barbados was just the last one of those name list memes I saw on social media.

bd67th · 28/07/2018 23:02

@FloralBunting My name is never on those meme lists about who will visit Barbados this year either.

Is this something to do with "Me And A Gun" by Tori Amos?

ReluctantCamper · 28/07/2018 21:28

Unsolicited PMs

heavens. it's almost like some people don't understand the concept of boundaries

Bowlofbabelfish · 28/07/2018 20:40

Oh I havent had one of them. I seem to attract the crazy menfolk. Grin

I never get dodgy PMs. My name is never on those meme lists about who will visit Barbados this year either.

Ereshkigal · 28/07/2018 20:38

The one I had today just scolded me for being transphobic.

Bowlofbabelfish · 28/07/2018 20:37

Oh yes! I had a few of those!

And ye gods... it was a crazy mix of abuse, streams of consciousness and a come-on.

Most peculiar

Blatant MRA/TRA attack

those are my favourites

the spittle flecked defence of (say) anime, or Jordan Peterson is always highly entertaining

Seems to be fairly constant langcleg Grin

Sweep in and mansplain
Mansplain again
Bafflement that manly opinion not deferred to
Tries again, harder language
Mild anger
Usually a joke
RAGE

Every time I see it I wonder who these men are in real life, then I see how many men cannot sit behind a driver taking a second to react to a green light without shouting, or cannot drive at the speed limit, and I think yeah... lot of it about. I’m astonished at how many people (mainly men) are incapable of self restraint.

explode into misogynistic rage after an average of seven posts

As many as seven?

Bowlofbabelfish · 28/07/2018 18:52

Yes it is looking like a pattern. We’ve had:

Appropriation: of infertility, cancer, and a few other things. Added bonus with this one that it is highly emotive and provokes posters into reacting emotionally so they can be reported.

Science word salad. My personal favourite because evidence and logic is all you need to dispel it.

Contentious postings: post is aimed at getting people to use a banned word, term or phrase.

Plopping: ‘excellent study that shows...(absolutely not what you say it does)’

Faux concern: mental health like today.

Blatant MRA/TRA attack - getting fewer, because they can’t keep any type of emotional control and explode into misogynistic rage after an average of seven posts.

I’m sure I’ve missed a few.

enoughisenough12 · 28/07/2018 18:50

There's one who's popped up several times on the safeguarding threads chirruping that they can't imagine why we haven't all reported the abuse we're alleging.
Of course, that's as far as they dare go as if they actually challenged what was being said they would have to face the grim reality of what is actually happening.

FloralBunting · 28/07/2018 18:45

Good grief yes. Entirely co ordinated behaviour, quite astonishing.

Today's one is pretty unpleasant, though. Going after posters who have admitted a vulnerability (why am I not surprised?). This past week the goading of parents especially has been extremely nasty.

It is definitely a daily co-ordinated attack on specific topics. It is transparent.

The "concern trolling" and forced teaming always seems to fly under the mods radar for some reason.

arranfan · 28/07/2018 17:47

I have no way of knowing but find it interesting that a poster who is informing women that their concerns are inappropriate (MH) thread as identified "As a coach" which I'm reading as the "False expert" tactic (arguing from authority). The "magnified minority" branch of that is also relevant.

LangCleg · 28/07/2018 17:45

I think you should remove yourself from this board which is making you paranoid

But never thee fear: I will be back. Just need that chocolate.
