”online radicalisation”

28 replies

WorkinMumsince4ever · 15/12/2022 07:36

Last night I noticed a person I follow in Twitter (a trans advocate) copied and pasted one of the conversations discussed in this forum regarding a woman losing her best friend due to indoctrination into the gender identity cult.
The conversation was included as “ridiculous histeria”, to undermine the concern of a real woman.
It is concerning due to many reasons: this is not a safe space for women to speak freely, whatever it is mentioned in this forum is used against the commentator.
Unfortunately not everyone was raised to care for critical thinking, and it’s easily influence.

I came here 4 years ago after being told I must not under any circumstances use this platform or read what the crazy feminists here were saying.

Some people have very questionable views.

Some people are racist.

Some people are nasty

Some people are misogynistic.

Some people are homophobic.

This person is all of these.

This person's gender has nothing to do with all of the above. This person's gender allows them to amplify their hate without repercussions.

This person is a radical.

Everyone say Hi!

Ah I see... yet another budgie pecking at its reflection in a mirror...quelle surprise.

I think Willoughby is an amazing agent of radicalisation.

This clip and the attempt to forceably kiss a man in the Big Brother house certainly enlightened me.

Among other things, IW is racist. I despair that people follow IW and amplify their views. There was a thread about IW's racism not long ago.

ErrolTheDragon · 15/12/2022 16:02

IW is a one-person radicalisation hot-spot, I would think.

terryleather · 15/12/2022 15:22

Oh and d'you know what "radicalised" me, it wasn't reading MN or listening to feminists it was when I took the tired advice to "educate myself" and actually listen to the arguments straight from the horses' mouths...no prizes for guessing what happened next.

Another day, another explosion of testerical narc rage...same as it ever was.

ReunitedThorns · 15/12/2022 15:01

Please be more thoughtful, Ms Willoughby cannot suffer from hysteria because they do not and have never had a uterus.

ErrolTheDragon · 15/12/2022 14:07

TBH it's looking more like Twitter isn't a very 'safe space' for IW , coming out with this sort of misogynistic bullshit won't look good to sane readers

** And re

IW quoting MN posts doesn't remotely make MN 'not a safe space for women to speak freely'.

Hmm

They need to educate themselves on the etymology of the word hysteria and why this is an incredibly misogynistic and offensive way to use it.

Hm... given that India Willoughby claims to be a 'Cis woman' with a cervix, I shouldn't be surprised if the next revelation is that IW possesses a uterus too - maybe wandered a bit further though.

Poor India - the media career must’ve gone right down the pan to have all this time free to monitor Mumsnetters.

'Radicalisation' is indoctrination into a new, marginal and extremist belief.

Its not actually radicalisation if its a long term dominant belief that's based in reality and has been the foundation of the society we all live in. Words have definitions.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

wellcome collection also has an article.

Got to watch out for all those unruly uteruses wandering around unsupervised having opinions!

ArabellaScott · 15/12/2022 12:45

Well, anyway.

The herstory of 'hysteria' is fascinating. First noted in Ancient Egyptian papyrus, apparently.

The 'wandering womb' is discussed further here:

I've got less than zero interest in anything that particular person says. Don't give h__ the head-space

TinFoilHatty · 15/12/2022 12:32

Some people do not like women talking, do they. The old fashioned kind of women, I mean.

IcakethereforeIam · 15/12/2022 12:24

I feel sorry for India, hate scrolling MN to find scraps to throw to followers.

Well, Merry Christmas everyone!
