Seriously, what the actual fuck? A group set up to discuss the plight of Afghan and Iranian women and it's cancelled because TRAs don't like a speaker at the event. If ever an example was needed as to how horrifically self-absorbed these people are, this has got to be it.

"Never mind what's happening to other humans in war zones/oppressive regimes, WHAT ABOUT OUR FEELINGS?"

Jesus fucking wept.

I just can't quite believe this.
The sheer narcissism, crassness and odious stupidity of these people is breathtaking.

They do make proper knobs of themselves, don’t they?

C’mon France, stand up! If womanhood was just an identity, all those Afghan and Iranian women could declare themselves nonbinary AFABs and be done with sexist oppression overnight.

WHAT?

ArabellaScott · 05/04/2023 23:32

It is extraordinary seeing how this is replicated worldwide. The misogyny and violent threats are common to all, it seems.

So many times over the last few years I've thought that the latest instalment of TRA madness was finally too batshit to believe, but apparently I was wrong. I reached Peak Trans quite some time ago, but surely this one is Peak Narcissistic Insanity ?

Marg is making men look bad by supporting all the women murdered by the men in their lives.
MRA/ TRA spot the difference

Boiledbeetle · 05/04/2023 22:59

So fuck the women in countries where they are completely and utterly oppressed because of their biological sex that they are not allowed to identify out of, because some men who decided they felt like women and some women who decided they felt like men didn't like someone!

Seriously these people need to GROW THE FUCK UP.

Marguerite Stern, 32, who is behind a nationwide campaign to denounce the murder of women by their husbands and partners.

Well, she's obviously evil if she's opposed to men murdering women. And making posters about it! Cancel her immediately.

How can any one read that paragraph and not see how insane it is.

As if the Afgan and Iranian women weren't oppressed because of the fucking biological reality of their sex.

les femmes ne fermeront pas leur gueule

MoonOverBroadway · 05/04/2023 22:34

This is shameful. I’m actually speechless.

'critics had threatened to attack the event with “rotten eggs and baseball bats” over the presence of Marguerite Stern, 32, who is behind a nationwide campaign to denounce the murder of women by their husbands and partners.'

Ok, here goes France to the fight.
That is a good thing.
To silence a symposium on the plight of women in Iran and Afghanistan should bring some sunlight I hope.

If only the stupid feminists would accept that TWAW then regimes like Afghanistan could have TWs in parliament, judiciary, civil service. And then all their gender inequality problems would be gone. The international community could invite them back in.
