"Feminist women were, therefore, keen to hear what would be said at this latest talk before women’s sector professionals working with victims and survivors of sexual and domestic abuse.

I hadn’t expected the content to be so blatantly aggressive towards the decades of work of feminist women in the field of male violence against women. After a wandering preamble about intersectionality, Wadhwa announced that Rape Crisis history was unclean."

Wadhwa elsewhere reveals the sense of power derived from pretending to be a British woman when working for a call centre. A background in telesales is obviously helpful if you want to blag your way into a cushy number 😉

Things seem so bad right now for Scottish women and girls.

@Fariha31

This person seems like a massive narccist and their whole career seems to be one big ego trip. Plus they get to shit on women when they are at their most vulnerable. I wonder if that makes them feel better about themself?
Absolutely.

How MW was able to attain the position that they have and spout their misogyny unhindered is an absolute disgrace.

Wadwha is a total waste of space.

I mean this is shockingly blatant TR activism. How it's being allowed to destroy a fucking rape crisis service is shameful.

Male power tripping....

was ever thus.

Being really radical in our inclusion of those who are marginalised does not discriminate against those who have relative privilege in our society.

There is a breath-taking cruelty in the framing of women who have been raped as “privileged” and, as Wadhwa went on to stress, that some (meaning trans identified men) are “more marginalised”. The blithe dismissal of women who have been raped or abused was a recurring theme of the talk. What was also sensationally revealed is that women in Scotland are self-excluding from Rape Crisis from fear of encountering male people who identify as trans. As Wadhwa explained:

You have large groups of survivors, some are not using our services because they see us as trans inclusive and feeling that they may be exposed to… er… to an issue that they are not prepared to deal with.

Holy. Shit. Shock
