Hundreds at Hyde Park for Let Women Speak!

The fact it’s Easter Sunday, some people get Easter eggs on Easter Sunday. So she’s saying bring your Easter eggs. How Is that violence against women? Violence against waistlines yes, women no. Maybe she’s asking that people give her Easter eggs to reward her for all her hard work….

Are you blushing cos you didn’t get the joke?

I am not going to speak for Elsie, however I learn a lot about what campaigns are running, I learn different perspectives on things that are concerning others so I can appreciate their concerns better, I learn about laws and how they effect my life and others.

A lot of very knowledgeable speakers attend these events as well as speakers with unique perspectives that add to my understanding.

Do you never listen to the women speaking on YouTube?

Why DO TRAs insist on calling their protests ‘counter protests?’

The women at LWS Brighton were speaking about their own lived experiences, they weren’t there to protest against another, third event.

When Scottish women assembled outside Holyrood to protest against the GRR Bill, the TRAs could legitimately describe their presence as a ‘counter protest’ against the protest organised by For Women Scot, which was a protest against the bill being debated inside.

Whatever it is that TRAs do at LWS speaking tour events, cannot, in good faith, be described as a ‘counter protest’.

Describing TRA attempts to scare women into shutting up and when that fails, trying to drown their voices out with noise as ‘a counter protest’ is pure TRA propaganda.

Seems a bit weird for an ACTUAL REAL LEFT WING FEMINIST to be unthinkingly repeating TRA propaganda on Mumsnet?

I remember you saying you had forgotten all about it even though your partner had arranged the TRA protest?

I'm genuinely curious, what is it you found helpful to be informed? I mean after stating the obvious that men are men no matter what they call themselves or identify as, what else is thee left to say?

I thought it meant bring your overies you know the things us old fashioned women have.

The Gender A Wider Lens podcast has recently taken on a new team of two for behind the scenes work (both parents of ROGD kids, IIRC). They’ve started making shorter clips with thumbnail images designed to attract the algorithm and give a recognisable look to the channel.

A lot of the LWS footage has been difficult to hear over the crowd but if the police are going to step up and make it possible for women to be heard then it would be really great if LWS could find someone who can do something similar with existing footage.

The SkirtGoSpinny documentary from the LWS NYC event is truly excellent, and while it might not be possible to find someone quite as talented that filmmaker, it would be good to at least extract the best bits from all the live streams so far and make some digestible, shareable chunks.

That's a good point, somebody should definitely do that. We could mabe ask SFW?

I’d love for the stream to be clipped into short segments to make them easier to share.

So much good stuff but sending a normie a 2 hour stream isn’t going to entice them to listen!

I am loving the 'vagina anthem' performance, it reminds me of all the accusations about Kellie Jay attending the Mot Dag conference from people who read a very bad faith take from some random media outlet and never thought to check out the performance from these two women.

What a great spontaneous performance.

Please take the KJK chat to today’s KJK thread.

So it's okay to joke about violence against women and if you don't get the jokes that's embarrassing.

I thought this was a feminism forum but clearly I am very lost.

I know I'll get accused of deploying gifs and therefore not taking people's brand new and fascinating points sufficiently seriously, but I do think that at this point the only sensible response is cliche

sing it Elsa

I am just listening to the speakers. They are wonderful. A couple I have heard before, but what a fantastic event.

And Baroness Fox was very good in articulating her position.

Thank you Crypto.

I'm actually embarrassed for you.

I hope that the TRAs will be back home with their parents, doing an egg hunt next Sunday. Or maybe there should be a terfy dinosaur egg hunt in Hyde Park to keep them TRAs occupied.

I thought I saw an egg hit the back of her head in one of the clips as she is being walked out of the park in Auckland. Just before she also had a clear substance sprayed over her.

She wasn’t hit with an egg

She didn’t say bring your soup or fists

Fair point.

If I had been shot at a previous event and was planning a new event near a gym I would Tweet 'bring your guns'

It would be obvious I meant 💪🏼

Some of the egg gifs are truly horrifying.

As Posie wasn’t in attendance at the event this thread documents & discusses, perhaps we could direct all of today’s KJK’s chat over to this thread? Reserve this thread’s spotlight for Venice and Julia and all the speakers on the day?

I know, I know…

The thing is, in German, the slang for testicles is eggs - eier - so maybe Posie is signalling for only men to come. 🤔
