If you like folksy ballards this might appeal. But am really posting to show how LWS has gone global. US musicians writing about events in NZ organised by UK campaigner! ^"This is the Ballad of Posie Parker ^ ^Before it gets light it's gotta get darker ^ ^Down under in Auckland they thought that they could stop her ^ ^But she never loses 'cause she's the Posie Parker"^ [[https://whistle.bandzoogle.com/track/3427154/let-women-speak https://whistle.bandzoogle.com/track/3427154/let-women-speak]]

It's an interesting perspective. The publicity arising from the incident in Auckland has sparked off more independently organised Speaking For Women events, put the issue on the national agenda in Australia and New Zealand, galvanised hundreds of women into speaking up and acting locally. KJK will be in Vienna and Geneva next week. It really put the spotlight on the violence and intimidation of the men's sexual rights terrorists who protest women's rights events. Demonstrating quite neatly that they're last people you'd want to access women's spaces.
I'd definitely call it a win.

Exactly. They're violent, aggressive and unhinged, screaming, calling for violence, they're very scary, intimidating people who by their very fascism are not anyone who will allow free speech, debate, etc. Was a prime example of what awful people they are.

No point. I thought this would be a light hearted thread sharing folk ballads about Posie Parker and her tour down under? The OP posted the perspective it was a victory, but there’s a perspective also out there that it ended in failure. Just sharing silly songs.

It WAS a dangerous situation that escalated into violence quickly.

Not sure what your point is?

A baying, physically threatening mob screaming threats and insults to a 5'1" woman.

Yet, "words are violence", "mis-gendering and deadnaming causes suicide" , footage of temper tantrums when people don't use the correct pronouns.

Give me strength.

Yes. Next stupid question.

Considering how traumatised many "non binary" people are by "misgendering" and generally being disagreed with, and how they need "welfare rooms" with energy bars and ear plugs laid on simply because their university is hosting a female academic to speak about women's rights, that's quite funny. I don't think they'd be particularly brave facing the misogynistic bullying and violence Kellie Jay and her supporters did.

This.

Again, give me strength.

My youngest DC (thinks they’re nonbinary and wants to change their name) sent me this one:

Farewell to Aukland
(All credit to & inspired by Monty Python’s Brave Sir Robin)

Brave Posie ran away,
Bravely ran away, away.
When danger reared its ugly head, she bravely turned her tail and fled.
Yes, brave Posie turned about
And gallantly, she chickened out.
Bravely taking to her feet,
She beat a very brave tomato’d retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Posie Parker.
She was packing it in and packing it up
And sneaking away and gramming it up
And chickening out and pissing off home,
Yes, bravely she was calling one-one-one.

And she said men should go into women's toilets with guns to protect them.
