Stumbled accross this on twitter. Matt Walsh, an American political commentator is on a chat show and confronts transactivist to define a woman and tells him that he is appropriating womanhood.

Then after being told that he has 'traumatised' the activists... He provides this response!!

Wow. He says sh*t straight.... Haha!

Talkshow:

Matt Walsh and the Daily Wire also campaign against critical race theory being taught in schools.

Youngkin spoke against this and won in Virginia.

The right have seen that parents will vote against this stuff.
The left need to wake up.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 22/01/2022 08:45

The election was, incidentally, won by Youngkin, the Republican

Which many left wing commentators pretty much blamed on the media attention on the young girl who was raped, and by extension the girl herself.

I'm more focused on the message than who said it - didn't know who he was before this. But he clearly has a platform and is unafraid to speak the plain truth, and that came across quite powerfully both in the Dr Phil discussion, and in his response to complaints from one of the panelists, subsequently. It's probably because he is right wing conservative Christian stance that he didn't feel it necessary to pull any punches, and that response to the panelist after the show was very powerful and clear. It couldn't have been any more to the point. And I haven't witnessed anyone coming even close to daring to say what he said but wish more would push back as strongly - because if they had, we wouldn't be where we are. And I'm trying to talk sense to my school at the moment and it is a ridiculous situation.
So I am able to applaud the message

@NotBadConsidering you deserve a shiny for persisting with that.

Thank you for your service, ma'am.

nolongersurprised · 22/01/2022 08:40

He is standing up against a wave of activism and in my opinion, just like with JKR, deserves support and recognition for doing so

I agree. He has a wife and four children and although he isn’t being threatened in the same way at JKR- no rape or death threats that I’ve seen - there have been some vile posts. The wave of activism is definitely strong and it takes courage to call it out.

Bringing sunlight to it will only be helpful, ultimately, for our own daughters. I never understood so of the purity spirals re Posie Parker here as well.

It was The Daily Wire that Matt Walsh works for that first exposed the Loudon story.

They put an investigative reporter in there to look at the story when the mainstream media were just reporting on the violent dad being arrested.

They blew it wide open. So mainstream media then had to pick it up.

And then Youngkin won Virginia.

If you hate right wing politics you shouldn't be raging against Matt Walsh you should be raging against all the left wing politicians and media not saying what he's prepared to say, because unless they do, we're heading for Donald Trump #2.

Well conservatives are all evil and stupid aren't they? No matter what the left do, no matter how violent, damaging, dangerous or hateful they still get given the benefit of the doubt because no matter what, Left Is Best even when they're dismantling societal norms and trying to force everyone to go along with them and viciously punishing those who won't, they're Still In The Right and conservatives are scum. Worrying lack of balance.

This is the Left in US politics. The Good Guys apparently

And the reason I’ve been so dogged on this Cheese is because it speaks volumes. There are only two possibilities in why you won’t answer that question.

The first is that you agree with what Walsh has said but can’t bring yourself to say so, which speaks volumes of the fear that has been instilled by those who wish to perpetuate the fake link between those who have GC views and the US far right. TRAs have scored a win there.

Or alternatively, you don’t agree with what Walsh has said and the attention he has brought on the issue simply because of who he is, which speaks volumes to the modern day trend of truth being superseded by identity politics.

I don’t expect an answer anymore. This thread has been illuminating, but perhaps we disagree on what has been illuminated.

Givemepickles · 22/01/2022 08:30

I think Matt Walsh makes excellent points about trans ideology. He is unafraid to tell the Emperor that he's not wearing any clothes and you can see the effect in the activists' responses. They can't handle the truth because they can't believe anyone would say it. They are so used to affirmation that the truth sounds brazen, bigoted and shocking whereas truth is just truth, it doesn't change according to your feelings.

I have to say that there are some bigoted opinions coming out here and in general I stay away from feminist movements because of it. As other posters have said, what matters is not who you are but what you say and whether your arguments stand up to scrutiny. So what that Matt is a man debating "What is a woman"? So what that he's right wing? To assume he's to be dismissed because of these characteristics is bigoted. Same with Posie Parker. MW has consistently fought against gender ideology, largely motivated by his love for his children and seeing what is happening to other children these days. He is standing up against a wave of activism and in my opinion, just like with JKR, deserves support and recognition for doing so. His videos are predominantly about trans ideology impacting children from what I've seen and the more this is spoken about the more girls will be saved from double mastectomies and infertility before they're old enough to drink. Any male right winger will have my full support with that mission, especially one that says playing with dolls does not make you a girl it makes you a boy who plays with dolls. Pretty sure the left said that about 30 years ago?! But suddenly he's the bad guy for being conservative.

How is it not about school rape? Given the multiple posts about school rape?!

Because this is the question you haven’t answered:

Do you or do you not think it’s a good thing that Matt Walsh brought the horrible events in Loudoun County to wider prominence on a TV show with a huge audience?

CheeseMmmm · 22/01/2022 08:08

This thread is fascinating.

And very illuminating.

So that's good imo.

CheeseMmmm · 22/01/2022 08:06

Only a total pillock would not be aware of the sudden influx of posts saying yay look this person nails it!

Usually person UK posters won't have a clue context. And often insisting that others put in writing how fab what a great individual.

MiladyBerserko · 22/01/2022 08:04

This thread is weird.

CheeseMmmm · 22/01/2022 08:03

@nolongersurprised

And as mentioned. Putin, Poland top govt people. Isis, Taliban. Definitely on board with knowing what a woman is

Do you know their views on the Loudoun County exposure as well?

Jesus Christ.

The USA is not the centre of the world!

Way to try and evade the point.

CheeseMmmm · 22/01/2022 08:02

@NotBadConsidering

The question is not about school rape, it’s about Walsh bringing it to greater prominence, but you know that by now and you’re choosing to ignore it.

I have zero idea what JB or AC have to do with this thread at all.

Sounds like implication that anyone who is hold on who is USA guy look before leap.

Would be onside with -

One fucker who liked wanking at bus stops and in open plan office

And someone who. Bottom line. Did all sorts of things that said. What's the big problem with relative who committing utterly grotesque sexual abuse.

I'm sure that can't be what you meant to suggest.

CheeseMmmm · 22/01/2022 07:55

Eh?

I have surely answered the internationally reported (well here for sure and that's international obv) USA school toilets rape question?

I asked a few myself eg. What's this chap had to say about girls being sexually harassed, assaulted, raped in schools generally?

No response a shame tbh..V big recent topic here.

NotBadConsidering · 22/01/2022 07:54

For reference, Cheese wrote that on page 6.

You're paranoid. One thread on one topic on one site mainly of interest to women in one corner of the world. On one corner of the internet. Scouring? Lot of time and effort.

You’re being insulting now. It was YOU who were concerned about this. YOU said:

Yes it's a trap. And look! On Twitter which was either point of thread or monitors.

YOU said that agreeing with Walsh falls into the trap these Monitors want.

So is it a trap or not? I don’t care one jot about these weirdos (yes, weirdos in my view) who do this, but you were concerned enough to use it as an example of the “trap” we’ve all fallen into!

Honestly Cheese, you’re all over the place.
