'men shouldn't be abusive towards women ... nothing gives them the right, regardless of how strongly they hold their views'

Perhaps they all have a pair of Layla Moran’s Magic Gender-Soul Seeing Spectacles?

How could you tell?

Perhaps half the crowd were carrying gold purses?

Show quote history

It’s a mystery how genderists do this.

Here’s a list of book titles written by some of the speakers at FiLiA2023:

Just in case any lurkers want to see some of the topics that Stephanie-Margarita considers to be ‘anti-trans’…

From what I saw there were equal numbers of men and women in the protesting crowd? Same as anytime there are protests against events considered anti-LGBT and hateful.

You keep ignoring what the conference is about and running away every time someone asks you why it shouldn't happen, but I'll try again.

Can you please explain how incredible women coming from all over the world to discuss the oppression of women, the loss of their rights in Afghanistan, FGM, domestic abuse, child marriage etc, is 'anti-LGBT'?

How is women speaking on these topics 'anti-trans'?

Cllr Elaine Gallagher, iirc, reverse ferreted and said the problem with Filia was that it didn't include transpeople. So, according to this Cllr. tw weren't discussed, so there could have been no 'anti-trans hate' or it'd have been said. Mindful of the cameras, the Cllr. had to tell the truth.

I think if any tp wanted to attend and talk about or listen to talks about women's rights, they'd have been welcome.

I can't criticise Hamza for what he's said about Israel and Hamas. He must be worried sick.

Humza for once has conducted himself very well here and said all the right things about hamas, Israel and the abuse being hurled at women. What a worrying time for him.

Yes.

Solidarity with Humza, his family and All the civilians caught up in this horrific conflict, Israeli, Palestinian or visitors to the region, like Humza’s DMIL.

Anyone who thinks shouting “fuck you” at the survivors of male violence in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria or indeed anywhere in the world is a cunt whether they are male or female

hope that’s clear to our current resident raging misogynist

Well said.

Absolutely everything is a narcissistic mirror to these folk ,and I mean everything, centring them and reflecting themselves back to themselves to the point that they can't see anything else and if they do happen to see anything/anyone it/they can only be considered as either a threat to or confirmation of their precious identities.

It's both tedious and pathetic.

Not "feminism". We're talking specifically about anti-trans hate, right?

You have no idea what you are talking about. And they had no idea of what they were protesting against. You and they should be utterly utterly ashamed of your own blind hate.

It could do @ArabellaScott they can’t be so dense as to not be aware of how badly IB damaged them

I am sure someone would have briefed him that this was the largest feminist conference in Europe, attended by the UN special Rapporteur for VAWG and many other women who are internationally renowned for their work on women's rights. Including an SNP MP and an SNP Councillor.

The protestors would have been described as trans rights supporters.

He has made a tiny shift, I think.

I wonder if Humza's firm statement that women shouldn't be abused signals a shift within the SNP.

Previously, we've just had responses that damned women and fanned over any anti feminist activists. I have the broomcupboard speech in mind.

I never have anything good to say about him but my heart does go out to him and his poor family.

Yeah this. Can't stand the man, but it's a terrible situation. He must be very conscious of not making his in-laws a target (for either side). Imagine how it must feel, worrying that your wife's parents might be murdered or killed in an airstrike, if you say the wrong thing.

Abhannmor · 14/10/2023 09:02

I cannot imagine the torment he and his wife are going through.
It must throw the complaints of these privileged young posers into stark relief.

Agree with all of that. A horrible situation.

Interesting to see an SNP Councillor speaking at Filia, too.

And two Green Councillors outside protesting.

My heart goes out to him too. It is a terrible situation for him and his family, and so many families swept up in this conflict.
