It's on Twitter.

Thankfully the police in the location they have described their friend with the details of this assault are looking into it

She showed him her vagina & managed to escape

When I'm feeling gloomy I just have to think of those words and start laughing. What's even funnier is all the men people on twitter who can't see why women find it amusing.

My motives are absolutely clear. Stop kicking a small marginalised and under represented group and spreading hate.

AngryAttackKittens · 26/10/2018 09:02

Once again I'd like to remind everyone of Germaine Bunbury's advice on engaging with those whose intentions may not be entirely sincere.

FekkoThePenguin · 26/10/2018 08:56

Oh 'feminist'4 you are funny. 🙄

Micke · 26/10/2018 08:50

Er no. Fekko. Science is proving your arguments wrong.

Derail derail, derail.

I know that if DP and I bump uglies, it's me that gets pregnant, and it'll never, ever be him. Trying to make it all sound complicated when it's very simple is ridiculous.

And yes. This whole 'show my vagina' thing is also ridiculous - not least because it just can't easily be done. Unlike a penis. So I think we can all see what type of genitals this person was used to having.

Feminist4 · 26/10/2018 08:43

Er no. Fekko. Science is proving your arguments wrong.

FekkoThePenguin · 26/10/2018 08:21

Bad old biology, confounding them with its bloody facts and logic. Grrrrr.

Feminist4 · 25/10/2018 22:41

This is the biology that you keep using as the basis of your arguments.

OlennasWimple · 25/10/2018 19:26

"Denial of freedoms" - hyperbole much? Is this the updated version of "the denial of rights to trans people"?

FekkoThePenguin · 25/10/2018 19:25

No elastic is what keeps my knickers up. Stretch it too far and it snaps

FloralBunting · 25/10/2018 19:24

Fekko, you do indeed. 'Science' is as elastic and mysterious a term as 'Woman'.

FekkoThePenguin · 25/10/2018 19:14

Uhuh. Now I know...

Feminist4 · 25/10/2018 19:07

Old fashioned thinking. Science is ahead of you...

What would you call it when a man defines himself as a woman to be locked up with women and sexually assault them? They couldn't escape from him. Sounds pretty much like they were being hunted. One is too many.

If you say you are a feminist, start acting like one. If you see your child as a woman then protect them. Can you tell the dangerous men from the not dangerous ones?

What about the violent men who turn up at women's meetings to hurl abuse, threaten and try to stop them going ahead - are they 'dangerous men'? Some say they are women through. Who can judge if they really think they are - because biologically they are not.

At what point should a male born person be known as a woman? What should they have to do in order to have this happen? Should they try to look like a woman at least? Can a woman have a penis - should a woman have a big shaggy beard (yes I know you get some hairy women but they do tend to avoid the grizzly adams look)?

And freedom - whose freedom? To do what exactly and why? What is the motivation?

If you know this area so well - please explain how a male bodied person, who has no intention to take drugs or have surgery - or even have a shave, can ask to be called a woman?

Yambabe · 25/10/2018 14:09

Ah fuck it. I'm off to Bunbury, I hear they have a nice cafe there.

Feminist4 · 25/10/2018 13:56

Prey, please! Don't deny trans people freedoms they need because of your fears. Dangerous men need a different strategy. Not a blanket denial of all trans people's freedoms.

Yambabe · 25/10/2018 13:46

FFS. Now go back and read the OP again Fem.

We are talking about a WOMAN who was harassed in the street by a MAN. Her friend then posted details of what happened to her on twitter, saying it was because she looks a bit masculine and he MIGHT have thought she was trans. Her friend blamed women for inciting hate against trans people.

BECAUSE A MAN HARASSED A WOMAN IN THE STREET.

That's the topic under discussion. Could you answer the other question I asked now please?

FekkoThePenguin · 25/10/2018 13:38

You don't want to see beyond what is under your nose do you?

Are you not scared for yourself and your kids should the rules change so that any man could enter a 'female' space and not be challenged.

Do you or your kids want to be placed in a situation where you feel that you can't object to a male presence - you must have read the new - there are some men just taking the piss and their argument is exactly the same 'I self id as a woman'.

Trans women who have been murdered (for whatever reason) - was this by men or women? If you have self ID then someone who has legally transitioned is in danger too surely? Ever had to hide on the ladies loos because some creep was following you? If a man tried to follow you could scream blue murder and he would be challenged. For a trans woman who looks like the lovely Bearded Daniel then I have no idea how that would work (as I don't understand how someone with a beard can say that they are a woman anyway).

Why aren't you angry with the Karen Whites of this world or the people who assessed them (see we can't even say h* these days) as suitable to go to a woman jail?

If you truly see you and all your kids a women then you should be bloody angry that people like that are treating us like prey.

Feminist4 · 25/10/2018 13:27

I don't think a man harassing people in the street has anything to do with trans people. That is my point. Why are so many posters here talking about men dressed as women harassing girls. It's a myth you want to propagate.

Yambabe · 25/10/2018 13:24

Fem4 can you explain to me how a feminist who believes in self-expression as an absolute right so that anyone can present, dress or act however they feel comfortable without fear of discrimination or hate, is pushing others into little boxes?

Can you explain to me how a man harrassing a woman on the street is anything to do with trans people and is also the fault of other women?

Cheers.

With Lindsay. Arrafan, no, it doesn't make sense.

arranfan · 25/10/2018 12:18

TERFs and misogynists are two sides of the same coin. Both see it as their duty to police and control women and force them into little boxes.

I’ve lost the thread of reasoning that leads to the conclusion. Often I can follow the arguments and understand what they are, even if I disagree with the premise and think they’re wrong, but I can’t see how to get to here, even with skewed logic.

At least the latter are honest, while the former are too cowardly to even own their bigotry. It's vile.
