Something failed here. They should never have been allowed to be anywhere near feminists, socialists or trans people. And yet, they were. Why?"
This is the absolutely thecrux of it I feel @Helleofabore - we shouldn't have to rely on women speaking up to feel more reassured of our safety! I would urge anyone attending Saturday to email GMP in advance (and obviously the same for any other locations for public meetings) asking their plans to safeguard women, to draw attention to their responsibilities and perception of their role (not that they give a fuck normally )
I only just wanted to say that a lot of Jewish women are even more scared and reluctant to attend based on recent events, and really appreciate anyone speaking out in their presence as well as afterwards. I absolutely fully understand women have lots of absolutely understandable personal reasons for their fear of denouncing in public and would never judge them negatively.
But if women do feel able to speak up, it is so appreciated. Being a woman is risky and scary enough already at these events but being a woman wearing a Star of David...it actually is terrifying but we have to be seen.
