STONEWALL ARE HOSTING AN ANTI-MISOGYNY WORKSHOP I’M NOT EVEN KIDDING

Alongside that other paragon of feminism Stella Creasy, and Susannah Fish who Google informs me is a retired Chief Constable of Nottinghamshire Police and has an OBE.

I don’t honestly know which I’m feeling more...

a) the urge to laugh until it hurts at the sheer ridiculousness of Stonewall having anything to do with any kind of anti-misogyny campaign;

b) absolute fucking steaming rage at their audacity after everything they’ve done to trample all over women;

c) astonishment that they haven’t got a TW involved somehow.

They’ve limited replies but the retweets with comment are quite heartening...

Well they do have unique insight don’t they?

’If they make misogyny a hate crime I'm almost certain the first person arrested will be a woman‘

Agree 100%

I doubt that would be the intention of Susannah Fish - isn't Notts where they trialled including misogyny alongside the other protected characteristics, in good faith afaik? (I'm in two minds about the whole 'hate crime' thing).

I don't trust their intentions one bit. Having a fucking laugh, aren't they?

Like making a fox the head of chicken welfare. No thank you.

Are you sure it's not a How To?

Oh god we were joking that they would try to ‘support’ women next when they were fishing around in the DSD funding pool recently.

Their reach is so wide now they could really go into anything - elderly support, single dads, dog owners. If it can be linked to LGB+ people they’re in.

Do you think they’ll use the treatment of a certain famous writer as an example in this session?

ah, fantastic! I'll pencil that in for just after the EDLs anti racism weekend. Blinding.

I have no faith that it won't be used against us.

Peter Tatchell has been talking about this for a few months. This needs watching carefully I think.

FannyCann · 07/10/2020 22:39

I think this will be connected to the Law Commission review of hate crime.

Thread here:

Law Commission consultation on including women in hate crime legislation - but they talk about "gender" www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/4043925-Law-Commission-consultation-on-including-women-in-hate-crime-legislation-but-they-talk-about-gender

Pretty sure I know which sort of women stonewall wants to protect from hate crime and which ones they want to criminalise.

SirVixofVixHall · 07/10/2020 22:31

What an absolute joke. They are trolling us, surely ?

highame · 07/10/2020 22:30

Just read that, doesn't sound right????

highame · 07/10/2020 22:28

I think it would be very easy to argue that Misogyny is a crime against biological women (ancient Greek) and as far as I'm aware, that's the only sort of woman there is

c) astonishment that they haven’t got a TW involved somehow.

They've still got time

Before Stonewall training: [rape threats] [death threats] [suck my girlpp]

After Stonewall training: How dare you say women don't have penises, that's misogyny. I'm calling the police.

30 seconds later: Suck my girlpp.

Who wants to bet that the only people who are successful at getting someone convictiled of a misogyny-aggravated crime is... not female?
