DV Select Committee contributor wants to browse adult sites on train wifi

arran, would you call or text British Transport Police next time? I think it was You and Yours or Woman's Hour (r4 anyway) where they were interviewed on the subject of pornography being viewed on public transport

It says something about how jaded I am by the commute that it never occurred to me that I should report it. I'll go and look up what standard of sightline etc. they need (yes, the reflected thing is a pest). Apparently, it's text: 61016 and I should feel harassed, distressed, or alarmed for rail byelaws tho' there's a separate general offence for watching porn in public.

I can't pretend to understand the interaction of the byelaws and the law here.

Is it odd that I'm now wondering about the BTP's right to search someone's laptop/mobile on my say so? Because I'm wondering how many commuters would withstand that level of scrutiny (albeit they've the sense to watch it when not in a public place)?

arran, would you call or text British Transport Police next time? I think it was You and Yours or Woman's Hour (r4 anyway) where they were interviewed on the subject of pornography being viewed on public transport and BTP were asking that it is reported. I've been stuck on a late night train where the images on the laptop used by the man in front of me were reflected in the surrounding windows, it was grim.

I'm not getting any google results. I think perhaps the right to be forgotten stuff had been invoked? Or my search google-fu was all wrong.

I'm not getting any google re

I'm guessing the two are not mutually exclusive.

Maybe males can multi-task after all? Stimulate one's prostate whilst complaining on twitter?

It's going up the arse, isn't it?

That's what I thought.

But all the fuss about accessing a woman's sex shop, by a woman, and taking to Twitter over a woman's outrage?

Your first explanation sounds plausible too.

Ereshkigal Now that I think about it and how you've explained it, I have seen that same kind of writing over and over and over again by TRAs. I've also seen it in some other forums like incels on Reddit, before they were shut down... Power game really explains the behavior of a certain cyclist also.
Thanks for that I'll definitely be more aware now when I see it.

I'm sceptical that dildos etc are top of the list of priorities for marginalised women but I can't educate myself because that website seems to be down.

When Yaniv finally solves period poverty, dildos to the developing world will be next on the agenda.

I must be particularly vulnerable to joining cults. Just a few years ago I was part of a cult that didn’t believe comet Hale-Bopp was a spaceship that I could board by committing suicide.

Before that I was part of a cult that boarded ourselves up outside the Waco compound of the Branch Davidians.

Almost like a reverse somehow... Pointing out real examples GC women have issues with but saying we are the cult

This type of narcissistic reversal is a form of gaslighting and power games and for me a clear TRA signature move I've observed many times over the last 5 years or so. I honestly think they love this element of it more than anything else, including sex stuff.

Oh, I'm famous

That was my response they quoted in the report.

Was going to say I wish I'd been less cryptic with my "dominance", as I wanted to say male dominance, but then they probably wouldn't have printed it and I'd have been dogpiled for "transphobia".

Women are adult human females. Women are adult human females. Women are adult human females. Women are adult human females.

Yup, completely brainwashed by a dangerous cult.

Ahem

I call to order the first offical meeting of the whispering groomers of Mumsnet. Right then, down to business.

Does everyone here know the difference between a man and a woman? Yes?? Great. Well that's about it really. Sex is a protected characteristic, single sex spaces and sports are legal. The care of children should be backed up with medical evidence.

Do you feel brainwashed? Great!
You're all honorary mumsnet cult members now, "whether you like it or not" (quoting there from the not at all cultish Mermaids) .

part of the movement saying to women that it's OK to have boundaries, that they are not responsible for the abuse men dish out, and that it's possible to find a supportive community of women. How terrible! How "cultish"!

It’s the return of that dangerous cult of the 1970s The Women’s Liberation Movement.

We thought that the bro-liberal Ladette movement of the 1990s got rid of them. hmmm looks like we’d better re-form the Spice Girls.

I'm imagining us "whispering in ears"

Lol.

'Hit the press' - with all the key information missing.

Diana is a transwoman. This was not a biological woman. Hence the comment about sexual dominance displays. Without context that has no meaning.

Diana had just got back from a select committee meeting and runs refuges which will have extensive connections to vulnerable women and safeguarding, where the job could reasonably be expected to demand high standards of personal conduct, awareness of safeguarding and basic boundaries on sexual conduct in public places.

Pronouns concealing facts. Facts that there is a very strong public interest for sharing.

Women help women subjected to domestic violence? And that's wrong because...?

The only possible answer: because encouraging women to have boundaries, to recognise and avoid abusers and leave abusive relationships and to stand up for their rights is a big inconvenience to males who wish to treat women badly.

As usual the writer has no idea what they're talking about and isn't aware of the basic definitions of a cult or what one is. (For a start there are no penalties whatsoever for leaving MN at any time. We have a flouncers corner even so you can do it with style. And then be back next day. Nobody cares one way or the other.) So it's a copied word being randomly flung around in an attempt to make some mud stick. Rather like a child in a tantrum shouting words that 'sound' bad in context.

What was it we were saying about the obfuscating effect of using 'preferred pronouns'...?

Exactly. Times a million. The entire crux of the issue is missed.

Looks like this has hit the press

"Jay" comments: "Don't let the feminists see this"

What was it we were saying about the obfuscating effect of using 'preferred pronouns'...?

Eh?

They are actually using the terf is a slur website, and transwomen who they confirm have committed crimes?

I don't get it.

That thread is weird.

Women help women subjected to domestic violence?

And that's wrong because...?

That cult thread is parody right?!
