Another TRA making violent threats

Whoops, I started my response so long ago that I had no idea the biscuit tin had come out. Is there any Waitrose coffee shortbread? Lovely thin shortbread biscuits with grains of real coffee through them...

Please can everyone here STOP with the stuff that you just personally find offensive as you're losing the argument when people body shame Sam Smith, or have a problem with drag (no, it is NOT the same as blackface, stop pretending it is), having a problem with pride. The amount of positives that come from pride far, far outweigh the negatives (especially for young people trying to find acceptance).
Being 'offended' by something - just because it makes you uncomfortable (such as someone's lifestyle or how they look) isn't important.

So... you're asking women here to stop their opinions because you hold a different opinion, is that it? That's what the TRAs want: they want dissent silenced.

Some women, including me, do regard drag as being equivalent to blackface and will explain rationally and at length with evidence why we hold that opinion. Many, many of us, including lesbians like me who started going to Pride in the late 80s and 90s, when it was a risky and political act, have every right to say how we feel about the current corporate glitter unicorn Pride.

Can you cop and paste examples from FWR: Sex and Gender of women body-shaming Sam Smith? I don't thank most women posting here would be happy to see that.

We're not playing the offended game that you and the TRAs play. We're not offended, we're rationally and justifiably angry about the undermining of everything that Pride and Stonewall etc once stood for, about the attack on women's legal rights and about the capture of all our major institutions by an ideology.

We're not your mum: we don't have to support you in your beliefs in case you go off on one.

I have been known to eat a LOT of Tina wafers in one sitting. But not the strawberry ones. We have a symbiotic relationship between my husband and me. He doesn’t like the others, just strawberry. And I have the chocolate and vanilla ones. Bliss out potential right there.

Still, can’t ever beat tim tams.

I had to look up both of these. I'd eat the packet of Tina Wafers in one sitting, lethal. the monte carlo ones look like Foxes crunch cream, which also last about 5 minutes past the time I opened the packet

When I feel like being a grown up, instead of buying Partyrings I buy the Cafe Noir version.

Ah yes @Boiledbeetle - forgive me for I have sinned, I will take due punishment, mea culpa.😁

Now now Gail. Calm yourself woman. You know us women bring this on ourselves. If we didn't act so brazenly thinking we could be so seditious as to go out in public, meet up with like minded women and chat, then the other side wouldn't have to threaten and assault us would they?

You know this!

Honestly, both sides area as bad as each other!

(why isn't there a dedicated sarcasm smiley?🤔😏😉None of these really convey it properly.)

They do @Boiledbeetle much like the both sides shit. It is NOT both sides only ONE side regularly posts violent threats, regularly is violent and it is not the one wanting rights for women.

The next person who says both sides - provide the receipts that women have done any of the above or shut up and fuck off.

I never could get into Venetians. Now Tina wafers… bliss. Or a lovely Monte Carlo.

I think they have very selective sight when it comes to these things!!

One can only hope the police support gerbil is feeling up to the job.

As for the threats to kill Sussex Police..... 😂It's like the wise woman from Blackadder. "Kill everybody in the whole world!" <mad laugh>

Threats to cause criminal damage what about the threats to kill Sussex Police? Did you miss them you utter misogynist wankers?

Mal Comms?

Maximum of 15 weeks custody.

If he even gets charged is he going to get let off again because of his gender identity, though, as happened last time?

Free season to threaten women for these men.

These are Venetians….
Plus a recipe for home made ones!

so so over with the female pronouns and use of 'woman' to describe a violent man threatening women.

Also a synonym for penis.

Staff: a stick with which to beat you...

Argh. Stall, not staff!

The article sets out its staff very clearly.

She? The s key is nowhere near the h; why did they keep calling the convicted violent bloke "she"?

From the article: “Officers remain in contact with the victim while enquiries are ongoing.”

Translation: Police are telling Posie if she knows what's good for her she'll shut up or she'll find herself being treated like Caroline Farrow.

Grrrrrrr

“A 43-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of making threats to cause criminal damage and malicious communications.
“She remains in custody at this time.
“Officers remain in contact with the victim while enquiries are ongoing.”

I live in France now. No breakaways for me!
