If you ever wanted proof that TRA is the same MRA check this out.

MRAs generally don't have kids - or relationships with women for that matter.

And this is generally not their choice. They just never work out why women run a mile.

I believe there’s an actual term for that...

After reading the second article, I now think he's a pedo and exactly the type of man we need to keep out of women's only spaces.

I don't think anyone's had kids with him, whatwould. The changing room daughter article is just a mechanism.

MRAs generally don't have kids - or relationships with women for that matter. Which is why they're so very angry with us.

What a fucking idiot.

1st that he equates not being allowed in a changing room with the struggles and predudice a trans person faces.

2nd that he doesn't understand why woman treat all men as potential abusers, and why we should have a right to privacy.

3rd that thinks a curtain provides ample privacy, so much so that any time Dick or harry should be able to enter.

That's someone that lives in their own little bubble of self entitlement.

He wrote that?
And yet he thinks we're nasty?

Similarly, the term ‘pervert’ is used almost exclusively in a derogatory way. In particular, older men who enter relationships with much younger women are often derided as ‘perverts’ — but what’s wrong with being a pervert?

Says the man driven to write an outraged article on not being allowed into changing rooms with teen girls.

*Here’s an interesting little thought-exercise to get your brain woken up:
Why is the term, ‘sexual predator’ used, pretty much exclusively, as an accusatory and derogatory term? What, when you really bother to think about it, is actually wrong with being a sexual predator? It is ridiculous the way people are smeared through the use of the term, as if being a sexual predator is somehow a bad thing. *

What the actual fuck????

Someone had kids with this moron

i expect robert is busy beavering over his next dreary 'thought~provoking' article.

'A recent experience had opened my eyes to the hateful bigotry of feminists.'

Oh no! Have women been mean to a man again?

And keep away from women's changing rooms.

Some of the people here really are very sad and pitiable - that they don't see anything wrong in being so needlessly nasty.

Sounds like Richard is keen to dish it out but unwilling to take it. Sorry, mate. That's not how it works.

.Goodness me, what a lot of times you’ve said “bigot”, there.

I suspect RobertJameson is incapable of explaining why women and teen girls who don't want pervy, boundary ignoring blokes insisting on accessing places where they disrobe, are bigots.

RobertJameson please be aware most of the posters on MN are women with opinions. Often strong opinions. When men have strong opinions they like to express themselves with much stronger language than “twerp”, “a dangerous man”, or “an absolute cunt”. Have you read Twitter recently? “If you can’t take the heat stay out of the MN kitchen” or don’t publish articles on Medium that large numbers of women are going to find offensive.

Hi Robert, welcome to Mumsnet

Goodness me, what a lot of times you’ve said “bigot”, there.

If your provocative thought experiments are designed to be controversial and cause debate, why are you so upset when people react by debating them?

Here’s a thought experiment for you: try imagining why women are keen on single sex spaces in contexts where we are naked or feel vulnerable. From your writing it doesn’t seem like you’ve spent much time on that. I think it would pay dividends.

Ps that sexual predator piece was really weird and worrying.

What I do do is to write thought-exercises intended to expose people's bigotry and prejudice. And, as this thread clearly demonstrates, I'm extremely good at it.

Please expand.

What and whose bigotry and prejudice are you trying to expose?
Please give examples of the ‘bigotry and prejudice’ in this thread, that backs up how you’ve exposed us.

We have no prejudice toward you as I doubt many of us knew of you until your latest publication, so could form no preconceived idea of you. All the information we have is in your own words.

If we, as a group, have misjudged you by your writing then I’d say that’s the fault of the author not the audience.

@Gingerkittykat

I appreciated your previous comment, which I thought was helpful, but now you're in danger of adding to the misinformation. In fact, I'm not at all upset that people disagree with me. I'm just disappointed that people are so bigoted and nasty. I have no problem at all with them disagreeing with me.

But no, I'm not likely to be hanging around here to make further comments. I don't enjoy the company of bigots. But I do think it is important to expose them for what they are.

I've said my bit. I expect the bigots will just carry on posting insults and lies. But there is the opportunity for people to learn something about their own prejudices - if they have the decency to even try. I hope they do.

If you are encouraging discussion and debate, why are you so upset when people disagree with you? Could it be that you just want people to think if they agree with you and if they don't it is a thinking error on their part and they are bigots or dimwits?

If you're small-minded, bigotted or dim-witted, then you may not wish to proceed any further. This stuff is likely to go way over your head and you might just get offended, annoyed and in a tiz and not enjoy yourself at all

Your own words, looks like you're not enjoying yourself here.

Wow! What a lot of hatred, insults and downright nastiness this thread contains from some incredibly bigoted people!

I've been called a 'twerp,' a 'total dick,' a 'racist dick,' a 'disgusting person,' a 'dangerous man' and 'an absolute cunt' - amongst many other insults.

Some of the people here really are very sad and pitiable - that they don't see anything wrong in being so needlessly nasty.

And so many lies have been told. So much misinformation has been spread.

In no way did I attempt to 'force' my way into a changing room. And this was NOT a women-only changing room at all. This was a unisex changing facility, which Primark themselves say is open to customers of any sex or gender. I simply asked the staff to abide by their own employer's clearly-stated policies. And my opinion on underage sex is that anyone who has sex with an underage person should have the full force of the law used against them.

I'm actually a very kind person - and I don't deserve this sort of incredibly nasty treatment.

What I do do is to write thought-exercises intended to expose people's bigotry and prejudice. And, as this thread clearly demonstrates, I'm extremely good at it.

Nevertheless, the many nasty, bigoted people who've commented on this thread really ought to be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

Additional: Hi there all those incredibly offended people visiting here from Mumsnet! Welcome! It’s fascinating to see so many nasty comments (on Mumsnet) from so many incredibly bigoted people. It’s also fascinating to see people trying to justify their outrage by pretending I was trying to force my way into a women’s changing room. But the facts are straightforward. There was no attempt to force my way into anywhere. I was simply asking the staff to abide by their own employer’s very clear policies. What could possibly be wrong with that? And this was not a women-only changing room at all. This was a unisex facility that Primark themselves say was supposed to be open to any customer who wished to use it

Waves to the troll.

Yup, he sounds like a big hitter in the fields of both economics and philosophy.

Thinking further about this made me so cross.How dare he say that he knows what it’s like to be a trans woman

I agree. I don't think he was showing any empathy with women or trans women. The latter were just a handy excuse for his entitled behaviour.

Sounds fairly likely this an imaginary daughter situation.

Yes, and he knows it's dodgy, Royal, because he's not disclosed a whiff of his real identity anywhere. All cartoons, self publishing, and circling back to his website.

The Savile book sounds very sinister indeed. The evidence against Savile was overwhelming.

I notice that he has published a lot of books on a very diverse range of subjects but most (all?) seem to be self-published.

What a strange man.

And that there's too much mass hysteria (nice casual misogyny there) over a pat on the knee in the 60s

Ffs, if I hear one more...

I just downloaded the sample of his savile book. First things first, the standard of his writing is so bad as to be practically unreadable. He also calls himself a philosopher (can just anyone be a philosopher these days?) But he also thinks savile was innocent (no he wasn't, it's either guilty or not guilty. Not innocent.) And that there's too much mass hysteria (nice casual misogyny there) over a pat on the knee in the 60s. Brings up Hitler very early on. There's a name for that isn't it? When your argument is so flawed you have to bring up Nazis?

This person isn't one id want in any changing rooms me or my children were in.
