Let's all just take a moment to remember the incessant accusations of transphobia lobbed at JKR for writing a book with a serial murderer character who puts on a woman's coat and (I think) wig as a disguise so he can get close to his female victim on a dark wet winter night. This apparently indicates she thinks that all males who dress in a stereotypically female way are doing so for nefarious reasons.

Yes and those awful signs on toilets telling women to mind our own business, not judge, stare or question any Males who choose to use female toilets.

There we go: The French requisite for 'woman' = shawl, wig and lippy.

You'd think they'd require something a bit more chic, really. I suppose that's where the 'old' comes in.

I'm not quite sure how they get 'old woman' from this tbh:

or even “woman.” How odd. Was he covered in a shawl in his wheelchair? Still don’t see why you’d think “woman” and not “man covered in blankets.”

ruthieness · 31/05/2022 08:37

Isn’t the equivalent English word for entartrage “pied”?

Just to say, if anyone is desperate to commit the crime of entartage, I will volunteer as a willing victim… 🍰

Entartage is one fetish I could definitely get on board with. Can't think of many safeguarding issues either.

Cream cake, not a cream bun. Attack by cream cake is known as "entartrage" supposedly, who knew.

Many thanks for the share token! A pedant writes: the article says entartage. I too am astounded to find out that the French need a word for assault by cream bun.

I'll be at a meeting in France with mostly French-speaking colleagues in two weeks time. I will try to sneak it into the conversation somehow.

OccultGnuNew · 31/05/2022 07:30

I think "Entartrage" is my new favourite word.

This happens enough in France to need an actual word?

How very unlike the home life of our own dear Queen...

I think the Times report says it was a cream bun. Hang in I find it.

Surely being in a wheelchair would be more conspicuous unless there were lots of people in wheelchairs?

LMAO. Oh this made me Cackle! I'm a wheelchair user but am not connected to a 'hells angels' group of chair users who visit galleries together. Feel rather nefarious now wheeling about all by myself.

Oh, FemaleAndLearning. You are funny!

Wasted, that's what it was. Probably just like the bloke who threw it. Not me, I'm one of the 'old-fashioned' type of women. The one's with wombs.

It was a threefer, give him that. Simultaneously, smearing the Mona Lisa, women and the disabled!

Was it a Mumsnet approved cake recipe though?

Indeed it was - lemon drizzle.

Pudding dressed as a cake.

Somebody needs to go to Specsavers if they thought he was old. Surely being in a wheelchair would be more conspicuous unless there were lots of people in wheelchairs? The hypocrisy in reporting is so blatant. Do we know what type of cake other than it had cream in it?

Redshoeblueshoe · 30/05/2022 22:49

IcakethereforeIam - so it was you - dressed up as a young man, dressed up as an old lady ?
And what kind of cake was it ?

Plasmodesmata · 30/05/2022 22:47

Oh god that was genuinely a typo! Should have said "I hope you can see what I mean!"

Plasmodesmata · 30/05/2022 22:45

"The story I read didn't suggest he was trans, he appears to have presented himself as a female with a disability to attract less attention as a possible security threat."
Well yes. It's a compare and contrast though. This news article was clear "man dressed as old woman". On other occasions where it could be said that a similar scenario is being played out, the reporting has been entirely different.
It's difficult to discuss this without breaking guidelines. I hope you can see what I man.

IcakethereforeIam · 30/05/2022 22:44

Omg, not in my name.

What a waste of cake.

Guess it’s a step up from punching cake, right enough.
