They’re not Terfs they are ‘Terds’ Senator Nick McKim announces in Tasmanian Parliament

FFS, you think Neo-Nazis turned up because they agree with Women’s Rights activists? No Neo-Nazi has ever agreed with allowing women to speak. Serious comprehension fails here.

So.. if you display a view, and a person who holds other views on something else that you completely disagree with, also displays that view, it makes you the same as them?! Is that the argument here?

Who are you saying is a neo nazi, or is this just a vague accusation?

Even if that's correct, what you are saying just makes you irrational. That's fine, but other people shouldn't want to share your irrational position.

Neo nazis turning up at a rally for womens issues being picketed by transactivists, neo nazis are against the transactivists = women are neo nazis.

Seriously?

No, of course not, but you do realise some women could be too, right?! They're not just all big blokes with shaved heads and tattoos you know....

Well, I don't really understand the 'dropkick' thing, either. He's implying he wants to 'dropkick' women he disagrees with? That's not very nice.

You might be over-thinking this 😉

He needed something starting with 'D' to get TERD. Dickhead doesn't really work for women - because he knows what a woman is when he is insulting them. Dropkick conveys both something you want to send far away and - as @OnlyTheWeedsGrow says - a general insult.

If you are wanting a carefully honed metaphor, you're looking at the wrong politician.

So ... you think the women should not speak about women's rights in case nazis agree?

Exactly. They turned up agreeing with the views being expressed

The fact they keep avoiding answering by disappearing makes this pretty clear.

Maybe they watched Neighbours or Home and Away? I would hope it is more than that. But they keep making broad cultural statements about Australia and it is getting pretty offensive because it misuses phrases or doesn't reflect the broader thinking at all.

No, I don't like nazis either. But how would you get rid of them, realistically, if they decided to storm a meeting? The police allowed them to march about, from what I can see.

They turned up at a rally speaking about trans issues (yes, yes, women's issues before anyone fixates on my wording) and they share the same viewpoint as those speaking against trans people.

So talking about womens issues is speaking against trans people.... right.

Women can never win. Womens rights = anti trans. Neo nazis turning up at a rally for womens issues being picketed by transactivists, neo nazis are against the transactivists = women are neo nazis.

Seriously?

Who made you the spokes' person for all trans people?
I've never claimed to be.

The issue is that they turned up in the first place because they liked what the speakers were saying. And as a feminist I don’t want any association with neo nazis.

Can I just check if the guilt by association thing goes for those women standing with men who send death threats, say women should be raped with baseball bats, hold up signs saying ‘decapitate TERFS’, force their way into women's refuges and women’s rape survivors support groups and think rainbow dildo butt monkey was nothing to worry about

or does guilt by association only go one way?

Okay. Yes, I agree that feminism is an enormously broad church.

You should join the National Socialists. You have similar national supremacy tendencies.

Thanks Only, that's the bit I was missing. I knew it wouldn't be nice!

Lovely behaviour especially in the context of his role and where he was speaking.

Now that takes me back. Dropkick! I think it is apt.

I do hope all these posters here are going to be seeking out the nazi men's forum and telling them off for their behaviour.

Or is it just about telling off feminists because some other feminist on the other side of the world failed to expel the nazis from a women's rights meeting. I've yet to hear how a group of women would actually do this, tbh. The police allowed these men to march about with impunity. What was a group of middle aged women supposed to do? Attack them with T shirts?

I did, sorry! Working whilst responding and didn’t proof read before I posted

What I mean is - feminists aren’t one single group with perfectly aligned views, and there seems to be a tendency on here to think any argument against your worldview is misogynist or from TRAs.

The comment about leaders and published feminists was referring to other posters comment.

That still doesn't make sense! Women who know what sex is are a banned aussie football move? Is there a colloquial use of the word?

A drop kick is also slang for a dickhead/a tosser.

And there is no fucking way Mishy is Australian or understands anything about Australia.

A big turn around? I think you are having a massive obtuse moment.

I don't agree that any male is a woman. I fight for sex based rights for female's where they need to be prioritised over gender. There are rights such as protecting female inmates in prisons, keeping males with testosterone benefits out of female sports categories, ensuring that female rape victims can have a female only space, and in general that female single sex spaces are maintained.

If you don't agree with my priorities, that is fine. I won't be calling you names. And I won't be telling you that you align yourself with groups who you don't align with.

But crack on. If you think that me not seeing any male as a woman in the areas of law were women and girls rely on sex being prioritised is against 'trans rights' then that is your issue. I also know that there are many trans people who agree with me and not you.

Who made you the spokes' person for all trans people?

So you think that the feminists align with the nazis how, exactly? Could you be more specific, please? Apologies if I'm failing to understand your argument.
