Seriously? I am just sick of this. Kettled into the corner by mumsnet, conferences threatened, representatives of the Fawcett society screaming victim and attacking women because she fails to do the one job that she is in that position to do.

Like a fun house mirror. Without the fun.

Yeah. The whole thing is one big, very unfunny DARVO/reversal.

Wankers.

@ShowOfHands

please imagine the tangible fear you would feel if you were to be consistently harassed, fetishised, attacked and ultimately murdered for just being who you are

It's almost like we are looking in a mirror isn't it? Except it's distorted. Like a fun house mirror. Without the fun.

Can I imagine, can I? Can I actually count the number of times that I've been assaulted or attacked or harassed?

No. And that's because they're too numerous to count.

I could probably make a decent estimate of how many times I've sustained a fracture or similar injury that needed extensive treatment. Too many women wouldn't be able to estimate that because, again, "too numerous to count" would be their response.

Interesting though to see that they’re worried about the accusation of cancel culture and feel the need to defend themselves against that charge.

I know, I thought that was interesting too!

From that “Southampton antifascists” post:

for those of you who view this as cancel culture please imagine the tangible fear you would feel if you were to be consistently harassed, fetishised, attacked and ultimately murdered for just being who you are.

“Please imagine.” FFS.

Is off the scale irony arising out of a total refusal to listen to women and acknowledge our reality, or is it deliberate trolling?

It’s the usual misogynistic bullying dressed up as a social justice crusade, at any rate.

One day I hope there’s an actual enquiry into how this shit was ever allowed to happen (and not just enabled but promoted by the authorities) in our supposedly civilised, democratic society.

Interesting though to see that they’re worried about the accusation of cancel culture and feel the need to defend themselves against that charge. Not worried about accusations of misogyny of course, only about what other men might say about them, but it’s a step. I suppose.

Just bought a solidarity ticket too, great idea and all thanks to antifa and their anti women idiocy.

MrsTerryPratchett · 18/06/2021 02:07

I've bought a solidarity ticket. Cheap at the price.

NiceGerbil · 18/06/2021 01:53

I wondered why filia hadn't been targeted before tbh.

@ShowOfHands

I would like to take teenaged dd along. She's 14, a fierce feminist and mature. Would you recommend it if you've been?
I've been a couple of times. There used to be special workshops for teens.

The talks proceed with caution. One I was at a woman left with s teen girl who was in tears half way through.

I'm the head of the International Group of Powerful Lesbians

But don't tell anyone.

Especially my husband

Bwahaha. I have one of the WW notebooks. LOJ and Penis News must be quaking in their boots.

@ShowOfHands

There is an International Network of Powerful Lesbians?! 14yo dd will be there with bells on if so.

FiLiA have said on Twitter they have security and are already speaking with police and council etc. So hopefully should be as safe as possible. I would expect some protestors though.

JackieWeaversZoomAc · 17/06/2021 17:42

I think the International Network of Powerful Lesbians run security @ FiLiA conferences (or at least some of them) and they do a wonderful job.

ShowOfHands · 17/06/2021 17:21

I really think she'd get a lot out of it. Thank you.

I worry very slightly about the possibility of hijacking and what that could mean. I was at a meeting a couple of years ago with some low level disruption from the usual quarters and it was surprisingly unsettling.

I’d thoroughly recommend it. My Dd was 15 the first time she went and was very emotional about the experience. It touched her deeply.

Cwenthryth · 17/06/2021 13:24

Ha! Ok cos otherwise I was well confused!!!

Although, if hate incidents/crimes were recorded on grounds of sex, I believe the case I think you are referring to would be a misogynistic one for sure.

Has a hate incident been recorded before on grounds of gender critical beliefs?

toffeebutterpopcorn · 17/06/2021 13:20

Yesssssss. That’s me on the wrong ‘Fred... d’uh!

Cwenthryth · 17/06/2021 13:17

@toffeebutterpopcorn

What was the ‘hate’ - the stabby strangler or everyone pondering the sex of the attacker?
Are you on the wrong thread?

Only if you're willing for her to campaign for a huge book allowance from the embarrassment of riches that is typically on offer.

Well.

Hampshire police have recorded this as a hate incident.

Wasn’t expecting that when I reported this morning but there you go!
