Carolyn Farrow taken to police station

If anyone thinks that the issue is how nice someone is, you have spectacularly missed the point. I dgaf if anyone was to think I was batshit - doesn't have ANYTHING to do with how the police acted.

And yet that still doesn't justify the police acting as personal political enforcers for something that is not actually illegal

Well the law says you can’t be hostile to certain groups?!?!

sadly you may not like that ……….

do educate yourself on the subject before you post such false information

Appalling and shocking that the police have been captured to this extent. Hopefully Fair Cop will get involved...again. The question is - when will the persecution of women stop?

Ah yes, silly women being overemotional and overdramatic again.
🙄 That's not what I said, is it.

Most annoyingly I haven't been able to get into KF for days. I'm hoping today is the day I can, after work anyway.

The threat of sending Caro back into a cell if she needed to think more about self harm or being sectioned makes me shiver.
When did the police turn into the Gestapo. Rhetorical question.

This whole thing actually reminds me of savile and his "I know high up people in the police" grift if anyone said a bad word about him. Surely if in this case its true then that high up should be looked at very carefully. And if it's not true then you have to wonder just how stupid the police are. This is years long at this moment and plenty of documented evidence of who does the getting people arrested.

Dont police keep logs of this shit? Cos on MN posters are forever being told to log it with 101. Did no one think to look in those logs before arresting Caro? Even if Caro Is no saint (who the hell is) the best thing in this case would be to leave them both to their court cases and not get involved over a meme or cartoon that probably wasnt even posted by Caro. She makes no secret of her posts on KF, it's all in her own name ffs.

It's outrageous. How many more times does this have to happen to one person before someone can be stopped?
I really hope this could be the thing that finally causes this bully's downfall.

Seizing all that stuff and threatening a woman because someone typed something mean when she had evidence it couldn't have been her in the first place? ffs. And the police getting confused with emails and posts and things - they are not fit to practise.

I forgot to ignore the deraileurs and strawmen constructors, sorry.

What has Carolyn F allegedly done?
I haven't heard of her, but devices to be seized, it seems like it must be pretty serious crime, terrorism or dodgy images

..But upon reading Twitter, Carolyn says ''Women don't have {Aubergine emoji}''

IF it is to do with something like woman not having aubergines, {which they don't} the police have gone stark, staring bonkers.

Why aren't they getting involved with serious crime?

Probably because it's easier to arrest a woman in her own home than to deal with true criminals on the streets.

Some men don’t like civilised discussion, do they. Poor girl.

Can’t help hoping the police would arrest a racist if they were worried about hate speech. But…

Anyone still doubting that supporters of this ideology believe that anyone guilty of wrongthink and having views they don't like deserve all they get and can be freely illtreated for being subhuman, just check this thread. Here it is, front and centre.

Ah yes, silly women being overemotional and overdramatic again.

JFC, a woman has been arrested and taken to the police station for some tweets that probably didn't even write, and the best you can do is accuse us of being overdramatic?

If the lady who was arrested campaigns against certain sexual orientations/same sex relationships surely that counts as being hostile towards those particular groups?

You can be hostile to whatever the fuck you want in the UK and long may that remain the case.

The moment we let the police arrest people for saying things we don't like you can guarantee it will be used to oppress the most vulnerable and reinforce those in power.

What kind of topsy turvy world is it where 'he said...he would section me' does not mean that he said he would section me.

Threatening to section her too
Reading the tweet, she says that she said yes to have you had thoughts of self harm.
So it kind of makes sense that the police would be concerned that she was a danger to herself.
This seems to have been escalated on here to "threatened with" -seems a bit of an emotive twist for dramatics.

You surely can't be that stupid? It was a threat to section her if she didn't say she was okay.

I wouldn't call CF gender critical. Not that it matters.

Maybe not. I was using it as a shorthand - she is critical of gender ideology, as most of us are. But not for the same reasons, perhaps.

Thanks @AryaStarkWolf

So ... not "threatened with being sectioned" at all then.
In fact - advised to come up with a more sensible answer, to avoid the possibility.

Horrifying. MRA must be thrilled.

it’s on the Twitter feed that is linked at the beginning of the post

"As I was released the sarge asked me if I had thoughts of self harm. I replied I did. He then said he would send me back to the cells to think about my answer and that he would section me. I had to clarify that I wouldn’t actually do anything but that I am extremely distressed.— Caroline Farrow (@CF_Farrow) October 4, 2022"

If the lady who was arrested campaigns against certain sexual orientations/same sex relationships surely that counts as being hostile towards those particular groups?

I'd started writing something about that, feeling the need to preserve the meaning of terms

Yeah, that's how I feel. I have no issue with being willing to work with traditionalists and right wingers. This issue is a threat to many groups and factionalism is childish.

That said feminism (which is really all GC Feminism is) has a meaning and a purpose. I don't want to help the Vichy Feminist loons define feminism out of existence.

Again - who threatened to section her? I have searched for this info, & can't find it, so responding like a sulky teen isn't helping anyone @GCAcademic
