Billy Bragg is exactly the sort of man who ought to realise that trans women are men and help to progress the idea that men's spaces ought to be safe for them to use. He shouldn't be telling women they need to accept men in their spaces.

Seriously why does this make him a misogynistic wanker

Rubbish

Show quote history

When a human with a penis insists that a human with a penis gets to wave that penis in areas that a human with a penis is not allowed to be, we tend to classify that human with a penis as misogynistic.

But that is just because some people think g that humans who dont have a penis should be allowed to have places where they can undress with out a humans with a penis being in the room. Or that it is not nice to call humans without a penis names when they point out that they think its not nice to demand that humans with a penis get to choose how much privacy humans without a penis are allowed in public spaces.

Its always odd when a human with a penis insists that some humans with a penis is not safe in the spaces that that humans with a penis uses. Like is that human with a penis the type who expect humans without a penis to do the work, to shift over and loose their public spaces so that the human with a penis can go on living the same lifestyle, it odd.

He's always been outspoken about his beliefs. He has a right to them and a right to share them just as anyone has the right to turn over and watch something else

And, similarly, everyone has the right to challenges those views.

I often think Thatcher would not have been so villified if she'd carried out her policies as a man...maybe she was a man trapped in a womans body.

Rubbish

He said he thought women should have the right to be safe from male violence. Then he clarifies, women, girls and transwomen need to be safe from male violence... I was like, yeah and so do men but what's that got to do with anything. He said it was like when we fought for gay rights, and as a lesbian I thought, no it isn't

Ditto Theresa May.

If you see his twitter/ X feed on TWAW he has that oddness that some humans with a penis have as they tend to only reply to other humans with a penis.
There is a word for that .....

These days, I wonder if Bragg's main political beef with Margaret Thatcher could have been that she was a Margaret.

He might not have made a peep if the Prime Minister had been a man called Marcus Thatcher.

It's very folky though loads of proper trad stuff and you can't move for Morris sides

Sounds great!

Bragg is just a numpty.

quantumbutterfly · 27/08/2023 23:51

I liked Levis Stubbs Tears, I guess it was just a crowd pleaser like Billy.

He said all that? Blimey, did he actually manage to fit any singing in?

Hopefully not?

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 27/08/2023 23:12

But yeah, he’s a massive disappointment.

You’re not a woman Billy, you know sweet FA about why we need the rights you’re so keen to give away for us.

determinedtomakethiswork · 27/08/2023 22:23

Look, when will you realise that his opinion is more important than yours? He's told you often enough.

What was the reaction from the crowd?

A lot of them cheered which I found worrying. The crowd is a lot of grey haired people, straight/white but no idea of politics. The folkies always surprise me in that area

I honestly had no idea about him. I can see he's got form. I've not been paying attention
