Morgane Oger officially succeeds in getting a rape relief centre defunded

I can't even imagine how the people who work at VRR feel. This is horrifying

Re Canadian law - I am not at all sure, now! Somebody on twitter said VRR legitimately & lawfully exclude people who are not female-bodied from their services and this was tested in court.

In which case, not sure how Oger has managed to pull of the stunning & oh so kind feat of getting their funding cut?

What a way to make a mark in the world.

Thanks Eresh - wasn't sure how to describe it!

I like to think the audience murmur was one of disappointment that it wasn't pronounced like ogre...

Ogre is one unpleasant, condescending, smug individual.

MO is much much worse than that ThePankhurst, but I got deleted and given a stern warning the last time I commented on MO so I'm all now

"arbitrarily"

on the basis of random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system.

Yeah, the choice to exclude men and not women is just random. Twerp.

I prefer to think of a different pronounciation. You really can't make a name like Oger up for someone who would be so pleased with themselves around denying a mental refuge to victims of rape.

At Megan Murphy's talk in Glasgow last year there was a murmur in the audience when she said MO's name - it seems it's pronounced more like ojay , with a softer j, not sure how to write it but it sounds as if it's French..?

I was there too but I still call him Ogre with the hard 'g' because it suits that odious person. Gloating about defunding a rape crisis center ... Ogre is one unpleasant, condescending, smug individual.

Yes, it is French. Imagine a French person saying Roger. It rhymes with that.

If any group wants my support to find ways to become eligible again for grant funding, I am here to help.

Beyond creepy.

What a vile, misogynistic piece of scum.

Oger by name...

Supremacist

Pot. Kettle. We see you.

So they ‘arbitrarily exclude some women’, do they? If it’s arbitrary then it can’t be discrimination. If I arbitrarily decide that only people with, for example, blue hair can visit my counseling center and then the next day say only people with brown eyes can access it, which would be arbitrary, then I’m not discriminating. I’m just making a decision about a random group who have no particular characteristics.

Or... is MO referring to the fact that the ‘women’ VRR are excluding all have penises? A shared biological characteristic?

So which is it: discrimination against ‘women’ with penises or an arbitrary and unfair decision with no basis? Funny they don’t mention the minor detail that the ‘women’ VRR are excluding could have male biology. Just glossing over that minor ‘arbitrary’ detail.

I honestly can't find the words to describe how I feel about someone who is demonstrably so sociopathic, inhumane and vicious as to try to get a fucking rape shelter defunded and closed down.

Take a bow you obnoxious arsewipe.

Anyhoo, such a shame it's not pronounced like ogre - the dictionary definition of which is a cruel or terrifying person....

And if 'purity testing womanhood' is hyperbolic for keeping males from destroying female provision for females, I'm for it. Purity test away. Let's do a lot of it.

Male rights activist succeeds in removing provision for vulnerable women in high need. And celebrates.

There is a point where this agenda reaches sheer malicious spite and evil intent.

Shame on Canada (Oger is presumably incapable of it)

I regularly make donations to VRR and name-check that person under their dead-name as the reason. You can make a one-off payment via PayPal if you don’t want to or can’t set up a standing order. I recommend as many of us do it if we can, they need to know there’s world-wide support for their work

Vancouver Rape Relief and Women's Shelter is a registered charity so it should be fine to share their donate page here (MN rule is against crowdfunding but this isn't crowdfunding):

www.rapereliefshelter.bc.ca/help/donate/donate

although lot of pp here don't like him but when jordan peterson was protesting, there should be more supporting for him

Not you, I mean Ogre (sic)

Cold callous horrid

I agree entirely @littlbrowndog. Fucking horrible person.

To be fair to Oger, that is purely application of the law
It is, as far as I can tell, illegal in Canada for rape centres to exclude anyone who says they are a woman
It's the logical appliation of self ID. A wee illustration of what the SNP are proposing to bring to us

Which is why we should be working to repeal the GRA. It serves no purpose anymore and is harmful to women and girls. The female kind.
The TRAs and Stonewall er al have proven to be dishonest in their training on it. We have de facto self-id because of this.
It needs to go.

Agreed Busted, a very nasty and spiteful excuse of a person. I see thinly veiled whipping up the MRA flying monkeys to ruin women's businesses and nail dead rats to doors then sits smugly back holier than fucking thou. And no one in power stands up to them because they don't want to be targeted next. It's just a culture of fear and women hating and it makes me bloody depair

I have been donating to VRR since this bike man last tweeted about this several months ago. There was a lot of pledging support from many countries. Was very easy to set up a So.
