Goldsmiths LGBT society says feminists should be sent to a gulag.

Goldsmiths, home of witch hunting transwoman Natasha Kennedy needs to sort itself out.

Last night they started harassing a load of 'T*rfs' on Twitter and then today they suggested they might like to spend some time in a gulag - before going on to write a rather long, propaganda piece in their defense.

I didn't think leftists like this actually existed.

Is this a real account?

It's sure garnered a lot of interest. A case of giving them enough rope.

Bowlofbabelfish · 10/09/2018 23:40

I know. I’m figuratively posting myself laughing.

CaptainMarvelDanvers · 10/09/2018 23:39

They literally don’t understand what “literally” means. Their education is a waste of money.

Bowlofbabelfish · 10/09/2018 23:39

Science must be decolonised and de-essentialised in order for this to happen

Goldsmiths- that well known hub of scientific brilliance... Grin

ErrolTheDragon · 10/09/2018 23:34

And maybe get an assessment of whether science should be whatever-it-was from their science dep....oh. There's a surprise.

Manderleyagain · 10/09/2018 23:30

Someone should tweet goldsmiths history dept to see if they agree with this account of the gulag system!

woman11017 · 10/09/2018 23:29

Gulag's sounding lovely.

That it's difficult to tell if this is parody is also quite useful.
Old article, referencing Goldsmiths.

"The university’s Feminist Society says it ‘stands in solidarity with Goldsmiths Islamic Society"

"Namazie’s presentation focused on blasphemy and apostasy when several young men from the ISOC arrived and are said to have started disrupting the event."

Seems there's a bit of a trend for certain feminist societies to be standing by men, rather than women, at the moment. Almost like feminism has been hijacked in some way...

www.goldsmithssu.org/activities/groups/oursocieties/lgbtq/ For a student society, they really don't want to give their names. Compare and contrast the societies I was in, where the president would be named at least.

I'm going to guess that these would be the same people that were invading Deptford People's Project to impose trans language on them, that resulted in Lucy of DPP publishing a condemnatory statement on twitter (now sadly deleted).

Fear not Contessa if it's historically accurate, your children will be in there with you and the whole family can have the "heritage experience" of trying to subsist on 140g of black bread a day - for all of you.

ContessasGulagSpaDay · 10/09/2018 23:23

CampGulagDrinksAreFreeeeeeeeee I too can knit/crochet and am a keen gardener! Maybe we can trade crafted items for seeds over the gulag fence....

Also, will there be visiting days please? I quite like my children, it would be good to see them occasionally.

FermatsTheorem · 10/09/2018 23:23

Holy crap NotTerf - I hadn't seen that report before. The "feminist" society siding with Islamist hecklers trying to shout down a speech by a British-Iranian woman talking about why she left Islam.

NotTerfNorCis · 10/09/2018 23:17

Can't help thinking that the 'feminists' at Goldsmiths are just looking for new and fresh ways to outrage the rest of us. They've got some way to go before they can top what they did to Maryam Namazie...

UpstartCrow · 10/09/2018 23:12

I can organise the toilets if thats any use? And I also know how to turn the waste into compost with very little effort.

WTF is that supposed to mean? confused

It usually means "transwomen are women" - and anyone who says otherwise is off to gulag.

CampGulagDrinksAreFreeeeeeeeee · 10/09/2018 23:11

“Am I being unreasonable to think feminists shouldn’t be threatened with being sent to gulags for thinking rapists shouldn’t be allowed in women’s prisons?”

woman11017 · 10/09/2018 23:09

The good thing here is that the gulag thread has been very widely retweeted
I think it might be a very useful hoax.
What skills do we have to turn the Gulag into a feminist republic
I've got no skills really.; used to work on a farm though. But love the idea.Smile

ContessasGulagSpaDay · 10/09/2018 23:09

Hello all

I demand that you all call me stunning and brave please.

Aurellia · 10/09/2018 23:08

Is the university aware of this account and what it posts??

FadeCascade · 10/09/2018 23:07

Have we reached Peak Goldsmiths??

TigerDrankAllTheWaterInTheTap · 10/09/2018 23:05

The good thing here is that the gulag thread has been very widely retweeted and a lot of people who normally look the other way when TRAs and GC people argue are laying into that account and Goldsmiths generally. Might give a few people pause.

ChiaraRimini · 10/09/2018 23:04

I'm so glad I don't work for Goldsmiths, especially their comms department. Student "japes" cause problems for all universities but this is pretty embarrassing by anyone's standards. PMSL though.

Amortentia · 10/09/2018 23:03

I just knew there would be a post about this!

They must have been hacked, surely the uni would have intervened by now and shut them down.

The weird blog they’ve cited, I’ve see that before. I’m absolutely positive that someone linked to it on mumsnet years ago but I can’t remember why.
