Everybody else blocked on Twitter by Women's March?

Saw a few people tweeting about this and went to check. Lo and behold, I am blocked despite never interacting with them or interacting with anyone who mentioned then. How pathetic. Won't change the world if you're so thin-skinned.

(If you're on Twitter the handle is @ womensmarch )

I’m blocked but I can see them from my sock account. No idea who they are, I’ve never heard of them so I shan’t be weeping into my gin.

Even H from Steps hasn't sodding blocked me yet.

Nor me! Perhaps I should finally joint Twatter and see if he does...

I'm blocked. Pretty sure they did it last year when I took the piss out of the logo.

Oh yeah, forgot all about that! The logo that they definitely haven't added a masculine profile to! Good times...

When you have time on your hands have a look at their board and its members (I did this a few months ago and the board may have changed a little, of course).

It's now a mixed sex group and the male member appears to be only concerned about transwomen.

Also interesting to compare the people on that board to how many people in the same demographic group there are in the US, to see how representative the board might be.

It's not representative at all in the sense that groups which might be 0.2% or less of the population in the US are strongly represented (nonbinary and transwomen at least), while larger demographic groups have a smaller number of people on that board.

Women's March has had transparency problems about their funding, who it goes to etc. for some time. The central organisation gives no funding to the local ones.

They are also in the business of erasing the female sex from all language and use the kind of intersectionality where sex-based oppression can only be discussed in euphemistic terms as if nobody knows who it is who needs abortions.

Im blocked by them, and H from Steps too. Never interacted with them.
Im a lurker and a liker on Twitter, rather than a poster.

maudesvagina · 21/02/2023 09:21

I'm blocked

mirax · 21/02/2023 09:19

I am totally GC on twitter but not important enough to be blocked. Maybe the GC bot does not scan accounts based in Asia?

mirax · 21/02/2023 09:18

600 000 followers but only 168 likes on that WM tweet. Btw, I never liked the leadership of the WM and think that most mainstream feminist organisations, including the ones in my country, Singapore, are completely and utterly captured by trans ideology. That they are blocking women is no surprise.

Grammarnut · 21/02/2023 08:31

Not blocked but do not go on Twitter much and I use a different persona and no recognisable tages so not recognisable as a mumsnetter or a Terf (though I am both and make comments that are GC all the time - never blocked by anyone). Retired so not bothered by being blocked as a Terf or of disapproval of opinions (almost everyone I know is GC, male and female, btw, even DS who used to be quite TWAW).

SqueakyDinosaur · 21/02/2023 06:34

Yes, also blocked. I'm much more of a liker and follower than a tweeter, so it's probably on those grounds.

Oh snap!

You're the wrong sort of woman, presumably; you haven't got a Y chromosome
🤣🤣🤣

PretzelKnot · 21/02/2023 06:17

I did call them dick-pandering misogynistic useful idiots a few months ago. I think I got a block for that. Sorry, not sorry.

ReformedWaywardTeen · 21/02/2023 05:35

Just checked and yes, I am blocked. I'd never even heard of them.

I do have "feminist" in my bio though so perhaps they've used the same silly software that the prat from Steps used that filters words in people's accounts and auto blocks them?

They keep retweeting one of their own people who describes herself as a feminist though.

Most posts seem to cover abortion, though bizarrely there's one which criticises Trump policies on railroad safety. Not sure how that's relevant

StalkedByASpider · 21/02/2023 05:27

Oh look. What a surprise......

And I've had zero interactions with them before. I'm definitely an out and proud GC on twitter though. Luckily I'm self employed so I don't need to give a shit about losing my job for my views.

If someone like this blocks me, I like to block them right back. It ensures that they can't take a sneaky look at any of my replies/tweets to manipulate them or quote out of context.

That’s embarrassing Grin

I even tagged him in a response to James Dreyfus the other week, advising him he missed me out, and he still didn't get the hint! 🤷‍♀️🙄

EpicChaos · 21/02/2023 02:15

Also blocked. pffft! I wouldn't care but i haven't tweeted in months :-/

Coyoacan · 21/02/2023 01:29

Yeah, I'm blocked.

It's like Amnesty International no longer giving a damn about political prisoners and Oxfam raping children in disaster zones, Women's March is blocking women.

NoWordForFluffy · 20/02/2023 22:46

Despite me liking loads of GC accounts, I seem to be missed by TERF-blockers. Even H from Steps hasn't sodding blocked me yet. 🙄

The Women's March™ hasn't exactly been controversy-free, what with the allegations of elitism, anti-Semitism, and bring overly controlling: archive.ph/fh72Q

Birdsweepsin · 20/02/2023 23:02

Blocked! I feel so special now...

SignOnTheWindow · 20/02/2023 23:02

Hope Women's March have plenty of space in the fridge for all the plates of zir arse currently coming eir way....

KatMcBundleFace · 20/02/2023 22:55

Blocked. Never interacted with them. To be fair I don't want to, given the circumstances

PaterPower · 20/02/2023 22:53
