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

Debbie Hayton getting flack for speaking the truth in their reply (saw it from following Debbie)

Of course it's still not the mans fault. It's now the city council's fault too

I don't think Nelly is at all concerned about transpeople. I think they're a troll don't ban me mumsnet, twitter troll

@OlennasWimple the pathetic excuse for a friend already tweeted that the victim is in the UK

Which is why they can't support her and must post on Twitter instead

shotsfired, you are so right! I can give tours of my weaponised vag, including a shot of my cervix, which is actually a gun, doncha know.

OlennasWimple · 24/10/2018 15:00

Well, my vagina is a wonderous thing that would leave even the most drunk and angry man backing away in awe Wink

(There is also a Leicester in Massachusetts and in NY State BTW)

Thanks. It's still bizarre though and I'm going to continue to be skeptical.

HomeStar · 24/10/2018 14:59

It does sound oddly like a story that might have been made up by someone who thinks "cis privilege" is a real thing, and who is completely unfamiliar what it is really like to live in the world as a woman.

But perhaps it's true, and it's just an unfortunate coincidence that such a strange event has been brought to the attention of the world by exactly the sort of person who is most likely to have invented it.

Yambabe · 24/10/2018 14:57

She's on the twitter feed so you can link back. I think she muted or hid her account for a while but she's back now, saying she's sick of dealing with bile from TERFS.

She seems to be implying that she was accosted/assaulted/whatever happened because she is a tall, muscular butch lesbian who often gets mistaken for a man.

I'm still trying to work out where the hatred for women who are mostly concerned for her wellbeing comes from and how it was women's fault that a bloke did something to her though.

JillyArmeeen · 24/10/2018 14:50

It's her choice not to report it.
That area is close to two universities and the police should be given the chance to investigate if there is a knife wielding man around specifically targeting women.

FekkoTheLawyer · 24/10/2018 14:49

Right, so, when I come home last night from my big job day trading and shagging hundreds of girls a day, there was this huge bear in my front room, and he was like sitting there all growly, and he was like 'I'm gonna eat you' and I was like 'nevvah' and he was like 'Yeh, I'm gonna eat you' and I was like 'naaaaaa', and I got my ballistic missile out of my pocket and killed him and I was like 'what was thaaaat?'

True story🤔

@Yambabe it's really sad isn't it

This friend has not only been a victim of a sexual assault

They have also been forced into speaking to police within 24 hours of the attack happening when they are mistrustful of the police

They have been not believed by MANY

They have been called a liar by MANY

They have been laughed at for how they responded to the attack by MANY

They have had the anger directed not at the male attacker but at themselves and other women who fear male violence by MANY

And they have a shit friend they turned to who chose to ignore the victim in favour of twitter fame

Where did she make her confirmation of the event (whatever it was)?

Yambabe · 24/10/2018 14:43

Ok let me amend that. She's confirmed that something happened, no details. Not about to ask her about the vagina-flashing!

Yambabe · 24/10/2018 14:42

The person who was attacked has verified that it actually happened but she didn't report it as she had had negative experiences with the police in the past.

I'm not going to link as I see no reason to spread her details all around the internet. She describes herself as a "vagina-haver" though Sad

I hope she's OK. Still not sure what the link to GC feminists is though.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 24/10/2018 14:35

The people who pretend to believe this stuff - why??

I reckon because

  1. It props up their world view. Their world view is vulnerable because it is based on a whole load of falsehoods and flaws in logic and hence comes with a lot of cognitive dissonance, so they are more desperate than normal to have it confirmed and thus will clutch at anything that seems to
  1. They are quite young and naive.
Many of us have a fair amount of horse sense about the way victims and attackers behave. We didn't get this magically as part of the feminine essence, it is learned through experience over the course of our lives. So it stands to reason that a 20 year old who has been getting this shit from men for around 10 years is going to have significantly less idea about what is likely than a 50 year old who has been getting it for 4 times as long. Many women will have been seriously assaulted before they are 20. By the time they are 50, an awful lot more have.

2. She's not trans, but she has a translesbian girlfriend.

So, a man, then?

nauticant · 24/10/2018 14:33

It's a story for people who want to believe, and don't mind binning their critical thinking in order to do so.

Dont think this has been a thing since the middle ages but apparently it frightens evil demons

now I cant stop singing the Vagina Dentata song….

Weezol · 24/10/2018 14:32

So it's pronounced 'Lie chest her' then?

I'm on a heavy flow day today, so this type of alleged attacker would get more than they bargained for if they approached me...

bigKiteFlying · 24/10/2018 14:29

It seems like the sort of story which could only be believed by people with a vague grasp of female anatomy and even less of female psychology.

^^ This.

QuietContraryMary · 24/10/2018 14:25

Just to point out

  1. The OP on Twitter is in the US. I think Florida.
  2. She's not trans, but she has a translesbian girlfriend.
TheElementsSong · 24/10/2018 14:24

Obviously it was one of those weaponised gatekeeping vaginas. Duh!

I must admit I am giggling away at the idea that this sexual assault has clearly happened as a direct result of the perpetrator becoming radicalised by reading radFem literature and that he chose to read this whilst becoming drunk too

There are some fine summaries on the twitter thread:
