I think I've figured out why the Guilty Feminists feel guilty...

Above from this report

They told us that as a result of this, staff have been so disillusioned that they are currently arranging meetings outside of work to be able to discuss their concerns together and how to handle them. They told us they are also very concerned at the rhetoric from many women’s services and national organisations implying that any requirement for female-only provision is transphobic. And in fact our group has been contacted by women who are currently on Rape Crisis Scotland (RCS) waiting lists for support, and who are absolutely terrified to ask for support on a female-only basis due to rhetoric both from RCS and from some of their network of services. One woman who has experienced multiple forms of abuse since childhood told us “I also feel like I am being victim blamed by Rape Crisis for not wanting there to be males in the centre when I am there. I don’t see how it is wrong that I feel the way I do after what I have gone through, and I don’t see why I should have to go through more distress just to get help”. We also know of at least one individual who has stepped back from accessing support because she finds it unbearable that her need for a female-only service is deemed transphobic.
Staff also noted with us that any potential adverse impact of these policies will disproportionately impact on the most vulnerable women, minority women, and women from working class backgrounds. They explained that in their view the most traumatised women are the least able to cope with male inclusion, and minority women often cannot access such services if they are mixed sex for religious or cultural reasons, and women with the least financial resources won’t have an alternative if the loss of female-only women’s services means they have to self-exclude. It was highlighted that these women are therefore the most likely to end up being unable to access the support they need if there is no longer any female-only women’s services.
Staff also told us that they were very disappointed at the lack of engagement from their national level organisations regarding reform of the GRA

JFC.
Aren't they a federation?

Post stuff on Twitter saying you are all mean bitches

That’s what they have done

No doubt sturgeon feminist to her fingertips will back them up

They are too afraid to say anything else. Funding and the management

Yes, self interest, and self preservation seem to be the top items on DFW's list.

Fuck sake, feminism is just full on commoditised by the likes of her, trading her sorry ass so that they come for the other women first

What are Rape Crisis going to do about this?

She’s the sort of woman who would get funded by Scottish government

I'm sure she does have trans friends and good luck to them all, but in her position I'm sure just saying TWAW is not enough.
Nowhere fucking near enough.

It does really show that words don't mean anything in Queer World, because DFW is not a Feminist by any definition I am aware of.

It struck me earlier that this woman's main interest in feminism is self interest, and the interests of her peers. She's exactly the kind of woman who works for Engender, Fawcett etc.

Yes exactly

This evening's been a bit of a revelation

I tweeted the guiltily feminist, got into my first ever twitter spat and then fell into a complete rabbit hole by looking up someone who had tweeted me.

I hadn't realised that we're all a bunch of cranks who are detached from reality and that TERFery is just Britain qanon! 🤔

I feel like working in this area for some is simply a badge of honour for their CV. And narcissistic power play for others.

Yes, I think that's apparent. Could these insincere people all fuck off now please and stop trying to further their own agendas?

It's been borne out in surveys that when people have bothered to consult the actual women who use women's services rather than the CEOs and managers, the majority of women value female only space for recovery and mental well-being.

DFW has been TWAW for years. She's said before that she believes this as she has trans friends. I don't think she has been targeted by TRAs

I'm still staggered by the people who made MW CEO. Was it cowardice? Apathy? Lack of humanity?

She backed it all up on her Twitter feed.

It does really show that words don't mean anything in Queer World, because DFW is not a Feminist by any definition I am aware of.

I do suspect she has been under a lot of pressure to go the last mile by the TRAs, only full capitulation and subservience is acceptable after all.

She's not quite yet there though.

The final stage will be defending throwing the 'bigoted cis women' out of the rape crisis centres and telling them they deserved to be raped for their bigotry.

I used to listen to the Guilty Feminist years ago. I can't listen to this. How did DFW respond on the show?

That Rape Crisis Scotland statement is quite something. I am genuinely angry about this gaslighting of vulnerable women. Where exactly is the campaign of misinformation when they themselves say this?!

Sexual violence is a gendered and has a disproportionate impact on women and girls; our services reflect that. Women only spaces are a core principle of the Rape Crisis movement and upheld through our National Service Standards (read these here). These spaces include women with a diverse range of lived experience and views, including trans women and girls.

The guilt trip feminist.

I can’t believe I’ve recommended her to people.

I think her cohost was non binary so I can see why she’d want to be supportive but there’s a massive different between supporting people you know and guilt tripping rape victims.

It’s like the days of the Christian missionary’s when they’d feed an educate you but only if you lived the beliefs they imposed on you.

A short blog post from Sole Sisters in Scotland. Here is the direct link to the blog for those not on Twitter. Sums up the rage many of us feel about so-called feminist organisations

Indeed. Where are all the defenders of the most oppressed group ever? Please, come on now and tell us all exactly HOW you propose to reeducate raped women with regards their bigotry towards males

So, where are the people who think Mridhul/DFW is in the right, here? Where are you?

We have had lots of people supportive of the TRA/gender ideology recently.

Where are you now? Can you come out and tell us, right here, what is wrong with a woman asking for a female rape counsellor and not wanting a male one, not even if they identify as a woman?

It's not relevant. The Guilty feminist was a 'funny' podcast which started off with...

'I'm a feminist, buUUUUt....' followed by various observations on why the comparison with stereotyped bra burning feminism was a pile of old shite anyway. But it was a bit amusing.

The 'BuUUUt' now is 'I put males before women everytime, even when they have been victims of Male violence, and THEN try to guilt the women into saying I'm right'

BA-BOOM!

Ha Ha Ha!
