I can’t believe what I’ve just watched. Eddie Izzard is on Joe Rogan saying ALL bathrooms should be gender neutral and completely dismissed the concerns women have that Joe brought up. He dismissed it as “people always complain when there’s change”

The whole thing is so selfish and entitled.

I feel unnerved. I really liked Eddie Izzard. I thought I had a pretty good bullshit detector. I was wrong.

I've said before - when he was filmed in the Yemen for that charity ad he fronts, he is unequivocally dressed and presented as a man.

Can't think why that would be the case in the Yemen...

I used to love him too but I am so cynical of his actions now. Taking part in politics he is always dressed as a woman but on the promotional posters for his comedy tours or promoting his film roles on the red carpet he presents as a man. He is basically happy to exploit his male privilege to the maximum and has no problem trodding all over women as he does so.

Irrelevant, entitled, misogynistic, creepy arsehole.

The same the same. 2 guys debating and deciding to give away women’s rights

I couldn’t watch that vid. Got 2 minutes into and thought. Naw

No no no

Hithere12 · 05/05/2019 15:26

Oh for fucks sake I had no idea he was running as an MEP. That’s all we need another misogynist in parliament.

Eddie Izzard can sod off.
Women's rights aren't his to give away.

I am repeating. Because, no character count here and this is lovely...

"Shut the fuck up. Shut all the way the fuck up until you reach the top of Shut Fuck Mountain where there are no more fuck ups to shut."

Isn't he really just a fat, middle aged, white guy trying to be relevant? I mean, I do try fist bumping to be 'down', he's just another level.

Watched Frankie and Grace. Heard this. Thought of Izzie

He's the only man who I find more annoying than Donald Trump.

TheInebriati · 05/05/2019 15:15

The men mostly going to the extreme with so called equality are mostly left wing types!

Trump supporters love the chance to undermine womens rights with this faux equality rubbish; they are not left wing.

AlwaysTawnyOwl · 05/05/2019 15:11

I used to like Eddie Izzard. No more. He made an utter twat of himself on Question Time before the referendum and frankly he deserved his mincemeating by Nigel Farage.

ZuttZeVootEeeVro · 05/05/2019 15:11

I wonder where the 20 something Eddie would have gone to change from women's clothes back to men's clothes if there are no women's toilets to hide in? Didn't he say used the women's to avoid confrontation from men?

Mixed loos wouldn't have helped eddie. Maybe I'm wrong and that's not why he used the women's toilets.

JQBased · 05/05/2019 15:10

They all sound the same, whether they are extreme right wing ''christians'' or woke bros.

Neither right wing not Christians would or are to my knowledge calling for mixed sex toilets, quite the opposite. The men mostly going to the extreme with so called equality are mostly left wing types!

JQBased · 05/05/2019 15:08

All these creeps come out of the woodwork when it's safe to and the world is making it safe for them to air such destructive views. I don't know whether or not I am more angry with him or more angry with the normalisation of this behaviour that says endangering women and girls is necessary for the gratification of certain men's psychological mishap at best and at worse, the gratification of rapists and perverts taking full advantage of the allowed situation.

TheInebriati · 05/05/2019 15:08

I was on Twitter earlier and its full of male rights activists shouting for mixed sex everything in the name of 'equality'. They all sound the same, whether they are extreme right wing ''christians'' or woke bros.
Come on to Mumsnet for a quick 5 mins and heres Eddie saying exactly the same thing Angry

Current mood; Fuck off men. Just right fuck off and do your own thing and leave us alone.

AlwaysComingHome · 05/05/2019 15:05

The fact Brexit supporters used pictures of Izzard in lippy and a pink beret to undermine the Remainers case might have clued him into the fact he’s a laughing stock.

VickyEadie · 05/05/2019 15:05

I have a list of men whom I shall never forgive for their betrayal of women. Izzard is near to the top of it.

Oh YES.

Missingstreetlife · 05/05/2019 15:02

Why doesn't he shut up until he's at least thought about it. Fool.

VickyEadie · 05/05/2019 15:00

I used to love him. Genuinely love him.

Me too. He's shown, however, that his male entitlement is more important than any woman's or girl's privacy, safety or feelings.

LinoleumBlownapart · 05/05/2019 14:55

Women have miscarriages or occasionally babies in public loos. Many teenagers start their periods when they're out and about.

Unfortunately I think women bleeding and distressed gives some twisted men their jollies. So the more we shout about it the more desperate these men become in their fight for access. It's probably their ultimate fantasy.

AlwaysComingHome · 05/05/2019 14:38

His carefully scripted ‘improvisations’ never convinced me he was anything other than a Robin Williams wannabe.

He does quite a good James Mason impression but that’s probably because Mason played a series of creepy old men in his later years.
