Let’s move the general discussion about the New Zealand ‘Let Women Speak’ tour out of the thread set up to centre the women speaking at the Australian and New Zealand tours.

This was the live feed.

https://www.youtube.com/live/eDuy2Kx2HlI?feature=share

The event was over run by violent trans activists. Not only did they use the usual intimidation tactics, but also threw substances at Kellie Jay, the women and the security.

Cartoon from Rod Emmerson. It's perfect, but I think he doesn't realise why.

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/rod-emmersons-cartoons-week-of-march-20-26/25UZXEBLM5G7LBYVX2QLVIVNLU/

It needs to be distributed far and wide that cartoon. That guy has no idea how apt it really was.

His but it is ‘georgina beyer’s’ arm !, just increased the relevance. As did the fact that KJK isn’t known for wearing dresses but trouser suits shows that he is oblivious to the significance that he has also resorted to misogynistic gender stereotyping as well!

And he isn’t listening.

I wonder if anyone here knows the law. Can these videos be spliced together (fully acknowledging the source ) and kept on YouTube before they are deleted by their owners?

He didn't realise, but I think he might now...he's turned the comments to his tweet off because he didn't get the backslapping from woman hating thugs he was expecting, and also blocked people pointing out that his cartoon makes our point so beautifully, it looks like it was made by a 'terf'.

Maybe I've misjudged him and he knew exactly what he was doing.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 26/03/2023 16:02

FYI Posie will be on TalkTV with this woman tomorrow

Brilliant.

@ArabellaScott

I watch that footage and while it's horrific and shocking, it's really just not surprising to me at all.

I feel the same way, the violence is now so predictable that we would be surprised if there was none, but we retain our capacity to be shocked by it.

I struggle to see how the rabid commentators and politicians will be able to justify, or excuse hulking brutes, with or without moto cross body armour bashing little old ladies.

I suppose the scumbags will simply ignore it.

He doesn't see it, does he. Someone on twitter recommended he do a new one, only this time with a male fist.

Tricyrtis2022 · 26/03/2023 15:00

@Whaeanui thanks, looking forward to seeing that.

Saucery · 26/03/2023 14:47

Arm guards. But not for guarding his arms, I’d guess. Put those in someone’s face they will do some damage and you can still have a go at claiming ‘self defence’….”oh, I was just putting my forearms up to protect myself”.

As domestic violence and the police conduct of lack of at this event has been a focus, this is a good article about the increase in domestic violence and reduction in cases going to court. There’s a lot here on the nz police, change in laws and guidance and approach to offenders. NZ now calls prisoners, ‘men in our care’. The story at the start of this resonates, I called the police as a child about family violence and they said pretty much the same thing, we can’t see any evidence, just try not to aggravate each other and stay out of each others way, merry Christmas!

More victims are reporting family violence, but abusers aren't facing court. No-one knows why

In the last decade, while family violence call-outs have increased, prosecution rates have dropped and dropped.

Posie Parker knows who she has been dealing with. She has all the receipts. And now, so does everyone else.

Yup.

It was like Terfisaslur.com The Movie.

nilsmousehammer · 26/03/2023 14:21

This is what the media and politicians and those that spouted the untrue bile have done here. They incited that crowd to think that their behaviour was on the right side of history, and was good and righteous and oh so fucking tolerant and fucking inclusive.

if us lot are on the wrong side of history then I'm quite happy to stay here because you wouldn't get me touching the other side with anybody's bargepole right now.

That.

There was that interesting post yesterday about how women who want equality with men have let their hearts fill with darkness.... <dum dum DAH! Evil chuckle...>

And I thought look, if that's the dark side, bring it on. Because the side of light is a fucking nightmare I want nothing to do with.

This is so weird to read about. I'm in NZ, I'm a woman (born, if you really must know) and I don't feel at all silenced. Kiwi women speak all the damn time and we're proud of it. Just because you disagree with what happened yesterday (and I condemn any violence to either group), does not mean women here are silenced and terrified. We're not.

If you / Posie want to help Kiwi women, focus on our meth problem, growing gang violence, and staggering domestic abuse rates. I work in family law and we are absolutely overrun with cases involving poverty, abuse, violence, drug use and crime against women. That is where the focus for women should be. The trans issue - it's smalltime pony tricks compared to where the rapes and assaults are actually happening.

Also - seriously - what is with the evangelical crusades in the name of "free speech" sending every minor celebrity activist to our shores to "educate" us (ie speak for us)? We have our own speakers, thanks, and are more than capable of using our own voices.

The past few days have really been an eye-opener for me. In my somewhat naive ignorance, I had fallen for the narrative of New Zealand being a progressive and even feminist society. But it seems it's a country with very deep problems with misogyny and male violence. It has shocked me to find that this is a country with the highest levels of domestic violence in the OECD. And it seems to be condoned by politicians and the police over there. Very scary.

LittleFingerStrength · 26/03/2023 14:04

I am seeing Christian women in America on Instagram sharing the Australian and NZ footage.

The UK government really has to as requested by Sex matters, speak to other governments about the safety of women travelling there, this is unacceptable.

Boiledbeetle · 26/03/2023 13:58

Watching these videos had unsettled me but it all felt very familiar.

Then I remembered how i felt watching all the coverage of when the shit went down in America after Trump whipped his supporters up into a frenzy and incited them to storm the capitol by persuading them they were on the right side of history and had the moral high ground and that violence was an acceptable means to achieve their goal.

This is what the media and politicians and those that spouted the untrue bile have done here. They incited that crowd to think that their behaviour was on the right side of history, and was good and righteous and oh so fucking tolerant and fucking inclusive.

if us lot are on the wrong side of history then I'm quite happy to stay here because you wouldn't get me touching the other side with anybody's bargepole right now.

The Mob at the event can wallow in their self righteous violent trans rights euphoria of beating and assaulting women and treating them like scrum just for wanting to talk to other women about women!

But the rest of the world looks on in abject horror!

Well done!

They can't bury these videos.

We know that the anti-women hatred is widespread, and that misogyny is more common than previously imagined. But the Internet emboldens all these men, the transactivists, the incels, the MRAs and the pretend woke hypocrites, to come together in one concentrated group, using gender ideology as cover.

But there are still the vast majority of normal people, men and women, who will be absolutely aghast at this openly accepted crime.

Other countries will also be looking at this and realising that they have a huge problem on their hands in terms of gender ideology.

Plus they will see exactly who is supporting it. Towering men in masks punching pensioners is not going to encourage most politicians to talk about them in terms of equality and trans rights.

Posie Parker knows who she has been dealing with. She has all the receipts.

And now, so does everyone else.

That is so vicious!!! Totally unprovoked and smashing two punches straight into her face and another one into her shoulder before someone pulled him off!

I've seen a photo of that woman with a black eye and bruising to her face later on.

Some of the press coverage of this is sickening - "family day out" stuff - "children blowing bubbles" - "short scuffle" - "anti-trans hate" etc.

I don't think they will be able to keep it up as more videos and photos get into circulation.

Plenty of "trans allies" minimising it on Twitter but getting short shrift with their, "it's just a crowd", "she was doing all the pushing" (honestly!), etc.

Not sure if these overhead drone videos have been posted yet:

"HI-DEF: Let Women Speak Tour. Albert Park, Auckland, New Zealand. 25/iii/2023"
The crucial 16 minutes at the rotunda

Shorter clip from that video:

"Overhead view of Rainbow demonstrators attacking Posie Parker and assaulting the crowd"
2mins

It's a wonder KJK and the stewards got out alive.

The same guy has posted videos of the Destiny Church demonstration (the same day?).

Don't know what that is all about but the titles tell a story:

  • Destiny Church Congregation march with Rainbow counter-demonstrators following
  • Police cordon separating Destiny Church Congregation from the Rainbow counter-demonstrators (1)
  • Police cordon separating Destiny Church Congregation from the Rainbow counter-demonstrators (2)
  • Police escort Destiny Church Congregation

What I find really worrying about this footage?

It doesn't surprise me in the least.

That is what this movement is. Genderism is woman-hatred.

I do wonder what some of the rainbow-brain-washed attendees think, when they see a man violently punch an elderly woman in the face. Do they really think 'right on, we're spreading peace and love, look at the right side of history and rejoice!'

Are they able to rationalise it? Can they really justify violent intimidation, abuse, and assault?

I guess they are - this is what all the 'throat punch a terf' and 'this boot stomps terf' and 'fuck you' and 'decapitate terf' messaging means, after all.

Somehow people have been convinced that just as men can call themselves women and somehow it magically means that they ARE women, the same men can use violent language towards women, and paint it pastel pink and blue, and somehow it really ISNT violent language because trans. And the rationale is that if a woman is a 'terf' then violence is justified.

'Othering' and dehumanisation leads to violence.

I watch that footage and while it's horrific and shocking, it's really just not surprising to me at all.

It cannot be denied the dehumanisation of women has led to this.

I now consider the reframing of centring the rights of all female people of any age as ‘anti-trans’ to be misogynistic and contributes to that dehumanisation.

And noticeably media and senior politicians are not making the connection and not ceasing to add to that effect.

Every poster that minimised and scoffed at what women have been saying is part of this

You either support a 70 year old being punched in the face or not

Helleofabore · 26/03/2023 13:11

Each day it seems more video footage is posted. And it shows the violence and the lack of inhibitions.

And the lack of voices saying this was never acceptable from the media, the government reps at all levels is notably lacking.
