Apparently telling women to 'die in a grease fire' is hate speech. Who knew?

Have a great weekend everyone!!

The fact that Linda Riley is happy to promote both Jack the Ripper and someone wishing non-compliant women to die in a grease fire is quite disturbing, given her position.

Does show the difference in Twitter’s attitude to ‘Jo/e Blogs’ and someone with PR and legal muscle.

Simple answer is to not Tweet or follow Twitter.

trumpdump · 30/03/2019 08:22

Lisa Riley is a disgrace. It's fine that she's not gender critical, but to support threats of violence towards women is unacceptable. Angry

A third rate cyclist

I'd reword that to,
"Failed male cyclist"

They really are showing quite spectacularly just how psychotic they are and exactly why women don’t want them and others like them anywhere near us. It was such a good thing they got banned from Twitter because now they are showing everyone exactly who they are. This couldn’t have gone better than if we planned it. They really are losing it, aren’t they? I look at all their madness and worry they’re just not stable at all. I do hope they can get the help they need, it’s not healthy to obsess like they are. How do they think women can control their body? Nature has done that, just like nature had given me a uterus that has just given me a second period inside 3 weeks. There are just some things we cannot control, and I understand many many males have a hard time not being able to control everything and everyone, but they really ought not to blame women for the cards nature has dealt them. I can’t control who is male and female, nobody can, not even surgeons. When I look at that incessant crazed tweeting, I do worry about people like them being given access to women and girls when they’re vulnerable. They are so angry and out of control.

I do hope people report their harassment of Glinner.

Ummm who is Rachel McKinnon?

HandsOffMyRights · 30/03/2019 07:43

So you don't do the 'hover pee' RM? Why not?

though I misread it as including ‘Tiny Tim’ as an insult at first

So did I Grin took me a couple of re-reads. Quite like it as an insult though: you’re such a Tiny Tim!

SophoclesTheFox · 30/03/2019 07:12

Am genuinely torn as to whether I favour McKinnon being twitter banned or not.

Pro: removal of a small fraction of woman hating from Twitter
Putting McKinnon back into the box of obscurity whence McKinnon came
Removes McKinnons ability to post homophobic nonsense about lesbians needing to get used to penis
Sends message about unacceptability of posting like McKinnon does
Sends message that Twitter is not woke beyond redemption

Con: McKinnon is hands-down the finest Sherpa currently working on mount peak-TRA. We would be losing a fine foot soldier.
I’m not a fan of banning people from having thoughts, even when those thoughts are hateful
Better to keep dodgy people in plain view where you can see what they’re up to
McKinnon will continue to over reach and that really helps shed light on the misogyny at the heart of the cause
I can’t lie: the utter batshittery is entertaining.

It's interesting that the grease fire tweet was dealt with so quickly (if temporarily), as it took over a week to get a reply on the tweet I'd reported about Sharron Davies. Did they look at all the complaints they were ignoring when so many came in for the fire one?

HashtagLurky · 30/03/2019 07:00

Holy mother of god! Thank you for that link! I am absolutely terrified watching this. I had no idea about these events at Evergreen.

HandsOffMyRights · 30/03/2019 06:52

RM is back. It's like a pantomime. You know, the ones where men dress up as Widow Twanky.

I do wonder whose side Rachel is on.
I mean, that list does articulate the problem quite nicely (though I misread it as including ‘Tiny Tim’ as an insult at first).

Lamaha · 30/03/2019 06:42

Like many have said previously, here and on twitter, lots of women who RMK would class as 'transphobes' (aka women seeking to ensure women's rights aren't rolled back) are actually women who've had loads of experience in dealing with toddler tantrums and know the importance of holding lines and boundaries.

Love it! Yes, these are toddler tantrums and the only way to deal with those, as every experienced mother knows, is to stay calm but firm.

They is the pronoun approved by transgender ideology. That's why the really cool parents call their babies theybies, and only refer to them as they. They is cool. (And I bet very annoying to those who insist on "she!"!) Let's do it.

Handsoff

Yep, Linda Riley. They even tweeted they'd do it.

HandsOffMyRights · 30/03/2019 06:30

McKinnon is back on Twitter.
Same old handle in every sense.

Somebody 'greased' somebody's palm at Twitter then.

HandsOffMyRights · 30/03/2019 06:24

I reported h* yesterday and when RM put the fire tweet up, thinking it was a waste of time. But I guess enough of us complained. Still disgusted though that Harrop openly called Caroline Farrow a c** on there and got away with it (sorry Caro).

I won't call a male 'her' though - there are ways round it. RM is referred to as 'her' a couple of times upthread.

What connections does Linda Riley have? If so, that is worrying. I just don't understad why she's hellbent on pushing this ideology through at all costs and seems to take actual delight in seeing women suffer.

But when I heard her on the radio with Julie Bindel it was like an 'Invasion of the Bodysnatchers' moment. She spoke calmly (but without any critical thought) about men colonising women as if it was the most natural/progressive advancement ever. Brainwashed.

Having studied Nazi Germany, people coming out as loopy nutjobs is not necessarily helpful to us. Everyone sits around laughing at them until it is too late.

Jog22 · 30/03/2019 04:38

Just thank you everyone. It's felt good to read this thread. (Twitter suspended for saying transwomen had male bodies)

CharlieParley · 30/03/2019 04:08

Oops, that's a keen correction. Sorry!

CharlieParley · 30/03/2019 04:07

Correction:

McK is cleary as ignorant about grammar and etymology as they is about sports science.
