Great analogy. Opportunist. It’s so insidious.

I see that Alf the Gendered Person has been cropping up on a number of threads on FWR. It's like watching a burglar trying to find an unsecured door or window.

I think pointing it out for others is an important thing to do though. It helps a lot.

I remember reading that excellent advice. Ignore is the only. way
Step over the post as you would a dog turd.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

That's probably why Bunbury recommended no engagement and FermatsTheorem shared her useful strategy.

Oh, totally. This has been my fucking irritation with it all. If you validate them, they get off on it. If you ridicule them, they get off of it.

I was ‘nice’ to the hefty bloke with the short skirt in Brighton, who asked my opinion of his pillar box-red hair & whether it matched his lipstick, because there was nobody else around & if I hadn’t said what he wanted to hear he might have clobbered me.

Then I went stickering & donated to a couple of crowdfunders.

I'd settle for safeguarding becoming a priority again with girls allowed to insist on single sex spaces and schools challenging the adult groups swarming all over them telling children they may be born in the wrong body & demanding that men and boys can have access to girls 24/7.

Absolutely!
Maybe we could do a thread about what a curriculum like that could look like?
And then campaign to bring it into schools?

All hail to the mighty Tunnocks! With
Gratuitous talk of cheese whilst we all
Pee standing up like the men we are!

Also awesome 👌

I love his 'Pronoun Song'.

That and cheese, Tunnocks and how we are all men.

I accidentally outed myself earlier on the last one when I suggested that I wasn't manning properly.

We can't have any enjoyment can we, when they even get off on us taking the piss?

Recipe chat is the only way to go.

Just watched Menno's In the Ladies and it depressed me so much I had to watch the Y Chromosome song to cheer myself up

I have come to believe that it is part of it. That being humiliated in any way is part of it, being encouraged is part of it. I have to say that there are more than one regular poster on this board that seem to have the same objective and it took me a while to realise it but regulars probably can think of who they are.

@Helleofabore that is fucking disgusting. These invaders can’t know how grubby and sordid we think they are, or is that all part of it?

Even Mr Menno has advice for us on this.

I have trimmed a few words from the start so it doesn’t get deleted.

“I had last year with a woman who used to run a fancy dress shop. She mentioned how some men would come in to try on women's clothes, but not just that - they would have a special request: could she please ask her female staff to tell these men how ridiculous they looked? For what they were really after was to be ridiculed and humiliated - by women.”

“Imagine just turning up for work and blokes like that trying to make you an extra in their little sissy porn fantasy.”

“The woman would say "No" but that in itself was a form of rejection that gave these men a thrill, and some would become quite stalkery as they needed to get their kicks.”

Totally. I genuinely think feminism should be taught in schools. And not the fun kind.

Datun FWR should be a degree - the stuff I’ve learned……

Which was very forcibly born in on me in the halcyon days of GenderTrender.

Gallus Meg just assumed that every single man who came on the board was there to manipulate, and very likely have a wank about it.

They would always, always just say they wanted to talk/listen/compromise. She made up the rules so wasn't bound by any censorship. After literally one or two of her non cooperative, well placed, responses, their masks dropped and they went into full foul mouthed rant mode.

At which point she banned them.

Yes I remember this too. Loved Gendertrender. The comments on Feminist Current articles were often similar. Meghan Murphy also took no prisoners!

This Board taught me to listen to what women here are telling me. When there's a heads up, it's for a genuine reason.

Same.

Every time I've ever thought, ooh that's a bit harsh or that sounds extreme, I've been bloody wrong. It's generally not harsh or extreme enough.

Women with power. 'Twas a thing of beauty.

Like Gandalf doing the washing up?

I was responding to this!

That made me laugh out loud.

I'm not sure how I feel about the idea of Gandalf doing a bit of hot flannelling.
