Riley Gaines assaulted

Women are the most common target for many reasons - it’s a misogynistic movement, we’re on average smaller and weaker, we’re the ones with most to lose so are more likely to be the ones speaking up and making ourselves visible - but they do attack men too. Billboard Chris, a Canadian man who protests peacefully with a sign saying something like “I’m a father who believes in protecting children from gender ideology” or similar, was punched, grabbed by the throat and left with bleeding scratches recently. (Video footage shows the - female - police officer he tried to report it to laughing as the TRA mob encircles him 🙄)

I think we start with adding a compulsory course on the Red Guard - from KS3, maybe. Teach children and young adults that they are very vulnerable to extremism in their teens and early twenties.

The ‘left-wing is good’ mantra means that we have plenty of discussion in schools about the rise of the extreme right, but almost nothing on the extreme left. A ‘youth-led’ extremist movement would be a good place to start.

The strength of that woman! I'm in absolute awe of her for taking this on! She could have just got on with her life, pretended everything was fine with a grown man pretending to be a woman to win races! But she's fighting for so many women in so many sports! She's an amazing woman!

I've just watched that clip.

Some of the Trans Rights Activists are just bloody feral!

Murdering others is always where this would go and it's already happened, they killed the most vulnerable, school children in Nashville.

They say man are women, they say that they are the most vulnerable and they say that others want to kill them.

Men are men, they are the most oppressive and they are the ones wanting to kill people.

I agree and even then I don't think it will end. The perpetrators will become martyrs in the TRA/antifa echo chamber and it will embolden others. We saw this last week when TRA's celebrated homicidal violence against children and adults at a Christian school, made the perpetrator a victim and then organised a day of protest which advocated for further violence.

I just saw this. How horrific.

I posted the link on the AiBU transgender athletes thread to explain why women in sport are not speaking up.

Thank you Riley, for continuing to bravely stand up for your rights to fairness.

I agree. Someone is going to be killed over this. Terrifying.

@Signalbox , it's very Red Guard. The more you look at Maoism and the Cultural Revolution stuff the more you see parallels.

Poor Riley

from the UK

Something tragic happened, 9 year old children became martyrs and Biden along with the rest of the consistent 15% polled believers who behave like clusters Bs who captured our institutions pulled DARVO.

They are working their way up to murder. This may sound like hyperbole but I honestly believe that this is where they are going.

I hope that Riley has good protection and is safe.

I wondered the same thing.

At this stage the trans issue seems like nothing more than a handy catchphrase to scream.

Oh no.when I watched her video I thought how brave she was . Which is weird as she is only speaking the truth .

You're right it's always the most progressive countries who seem to think extending women's rights and protections to men is a priority.

This paragraph in the article you linked stood out to me.

Canada remains one of three countries out of 35 which has not yet expressed its international commitment to the 1994 Inter-American Convention on the Prevention, Punishment, and Eradication of Violence Against Women. “This is one example of how Canada lags behind other countries in its response to male violence against women and girls,” Dawson argued.

How awful.

Punishing thoughtcrime by beating, that's scary.

And yy, so many female voices screaming along.

Agreed @Eann women in Afghanistan were able to vote in 1919. They could work, study, go out alone and wore everyday clothes - and now look at where they are :(

‘TWAW’ has shown how much women’s rights are still dependent on the whims of men - and how quickly those rights can be taken away

At the risk of sounding like a sales rep because I'm always plugging it, I found Jonathan Haidts book, The Righteous Mind, really helpful.

I think a lot of the women have bought the lie #MostMarginalised and under the moral psychology framework explained in the book, are reacting per the carm/harm and sanctity/degradation foundations. The think that they are Doing The Right Thing.

What I still struggle to understand is how the hell they can possibly think that!

Absolutely awful. I hope she’s ok, she has been amazing at pointing out how abusive it was to be forced to change in front of Thomas.

Poor Riley. I hope she is ok.

Not to derail but Sitt, it's not just men, though. It looked and sounded to me like the loudest were women

I thought it sounded as though most of that shouting was by women too. It is baffling. How could they possibly think this is right?

A whole generation of men has been raised to believe that it’s ok (even admirable) to police women’s speech and punish them with violence if they disobey.

This won’t end well.

Iran and Afghanistan used to be lovely countries…

She's so brave. Those students need to be expelled.

Jesus. The violence is out of control. I agree with a previous poster that these students need to be deprogrammed.

And the police need to do their bloody job. Every single one of those students should be arrested and charged.

Surely people can see that this is absolutely not normal. However upset you might be about someone else's opinion, even if it goes against everything you believe, this kind of frothing, homicidal rage is deeply concerning.
