Boycott New Zealand

Your voice is being heard. Maybe not in NZ with certain groups (which makes the ‘coloniser’ posts look ridiculous) but we’re hearing you.

The violence was recorded and the footage is there for all to see.

transgender sisters

😂😂😂
It’s always the ‘sisters’, isn’t it? The ‘brothers’ never get a mention, almost as if there is a pecking order on the other side of the rainbow too. 🤔

My 2p - how embarrassing for NZ - women are safer from violence in the streets of Dubai (or any other big city in the Middle East) than over there.

By the way, the woman that keeps talking about "freedom of speech" in her meetings, kept yelling for police protection when freedom of speech turned against her.

Fucking coward.

I got that impression from other media I've seen but I'm not really qualified to comment. My post was more about the absurd reporting.

@Alondra so you’ve just endorsed violence against a woman on the feminism board.

proud to be leading the world in female rights again

Everyone here has seen all the links and stats I’ve shared over the last few days showing clearly that is not the case. Nz leads the world in violence against women. Police don’t even arrest them anymore!

I didn't have any particular plans to visit NZ before this. But I didn't have plans to NOT visit NZ either. Now I wouldn't go there if you paid me.

Ha absolutely! I don't think NZ actually want people with gender critical views and ill-tolerance to visit. Boycotting has limited effect. May just make their delicious wines and food cheaper for the rest of us who are inclusive of trans and gender diverse people.

oh can you stop speaking over a Maori woman on this board and acting like you know about nz women? Mana Wahine actually asked her to come, Maori women. So stop being racist and speaking over us.

Please consider unintended consequences of your suggested boycott. Thankfully i dont believe a mumsnet boycott will really impact the NZ economy BUT if it were to, you would be harming women by your protest supposing to support them.
So many have been impacted by the devastation in the Hawkes Bay, boycotting NZ wine will just hurt those people more. And Ive worked on those vineyards; its predominantly poorer women out there bud rubbing (back breaking work) and pruning those vines.
Every product you suggest to boycott has a woman relying on it for income/livelihood. They are the people you will hurt.
And I know none of the women in my friends/family support what went on in Auckland. They are unapolagetic about their support of females and not one of them believes you can change sex.

I can’t believe on a feminist board someone just said I sound like a broken record as I comment with stats and info on violence against women. Jfc

I was referring to Charles.

But that is interesting. I thought there would be some leader but I didn't realise you had a king.

To be honest most of my experience has been the white arrogant Kiwis who visit London and think that's all of the UK and Pat and Wilz on 'My Kitchen Rules'.

I've never wanted to visit because I find the accent annoying and the aforementioned arrogance but actually a tour of Maori culture is starting to appeal.

Obviously as a women I'm not planning it soon, but maybe in the future.

She has now rowed back and said she made the comments when she was in a state of shock after being hit by a motorcyclist

She and her friends have made the same type of comments before, they say loudly that colonisation brought violence. They’re denying the reality for thousands of Maori women. But nobody I know has any time for her anyway.

I don't even know where to start with this. I've been reliably informed by a poster here that this is a legitimate news channel but they seem absolutley batshit crazy in the propaganda they pump out.

Calls for Marama Davidson, co-leader of the Greens and violence prevention minister, to resign after she made statements about "white cis men" being the cause of violence in the world. The people calling for her resignation........ "white cis men".

She has now rowed back and said she made the comments when she was in a state of shock after being hit by a motorcyclist , who was part of a different protest on Saturday, Newshub links the motorcyclist to KJK and includes footage of her shameful treatment to reinforce the connection.

Utterly shameless.

So you’ve all seen yet again, I’ve been back here a couple of days, another racist poster mock and say I have a chip while speaking about Maori land issues and violence. That’s the comment she responded to, a comment about a rich white man trying to prevent my iwi selling their land for housing.

If they don’t want to hear feminist views they can hide the board.

Keep posting.

'Rabid feminist coven'.

😁

Rabid? You mean wanting equality? Not to see elderly women beaten up? Things like that?

'Feminist' - no you're behind the times, love. The meaning of 'feminist' is now very confused, and women here have been declared 'not proper feminists' by different groups for varying reasons: the two main ones being as far as I can figure out: 'feminists are male centric and not nasty selfish women who want to consider women's rights', and 'feminists are only women who seek equality in the properly Left Wing Way having read the Right Authors and even then only the Right People from the left wing are allowed a voice'. Or something. It's hard to keep up. Anyway, many women no longer 'identify' as feminist because it's confusing and way too much about penises and politics as opposed to equality of access and inclusion and consideration with men. However those men identify.

'Coven'. Ooooh burn the witch eh? Look up ducking stools and scolds bridles, you'll love it! Misogyny's so fashionable at the moment, it's the new black.

I've visited NZ quite a few times, as I used to live in Oz. My impression is that all the "We acknowledge the traditional owners of this land" stuff that you now see in both countries is pure window-dressing. It allows people of European descent to tell themselves that they don't need to worry about the effects of colonialism any more. Meanwhile, in Australia anyway, indigenous communities are in worse and worse shape - it's just heartbreaking.

I once had a stand up row in A&E with a nurse who didn't want me to help a First Australian man whom she had tied to his trolley even though he had nearly stopped breathing. And yes, he had been lairy, but - guess what? - so were a lot of young white men in A&E, and we weren't tying them to trolleys and letting them die.

I remember from years back that NZ had some major issues with child abuse. We were looking at moving countries at the time. I wanted to check before I posted, so I've been looking online.

It seems that NZ has one of the worst rates for domestic violence and child safety among developed countries. Worse than the UK. It might be safe to wander the streets, but it appears that behind closed doors children and women are definitely not safe.

The violence that occured at the protest was not supported by the majority of kiwis. it wasn't even supported by the other angry protestors as you can see in the video the mans own friend pulling him away. There will always be outliers, and opportunists who attend these sorts of things.

Outliers? Opportunist? SHE WAS A 70 YEAR OLD WOMAN FFS.

It is pathetically unacceptable to just call a disgusting act of violence like this an act of an opportunist.

I am sick of hearing gender critical views bring deemed literal violence while at the same time seeing something like this.

Wrong side of history, my arse

You sound like a broken record

You sound like a racist misogynistic enabler. I sound like a broken record speaking about violence against women and girls and racism? I think you’ve stumbled onto the wrong board, this one actually cares about these issues.

And the one that punched the 70 year repeatedly

Seems they’re proud of that one too.

Just as I thought - someone with a huge chip on their shoulder.

Yep and we don't get many Maori visitors in the UK, so we don't see you on a day to day basis.

BTW can you recommend any Maori owned businesses we can buy from?
