Just let women speak

My theory is, that deep, deep down men gave us rights, but didn't actually believe we were equal to them really, and too many of them are actually revelling in this current shit show.

I agree.

NB: They also attacked a Jewish man. Because of course they did.

I'm horrified and furious at this. What possible justification is there for TRAs to behave like this, and for the police to let them???

This was supposed to be attached to my previous post

I'm sure the TRAs are revelling in this as a huge victory. The footage of women 'kettled' by jeering chanting TRAs looks like they 'won', by their own despicable standards.

I can't help thinking that the women looked like sitting ducks, with no way of reacting- other than gritting their teeth and getting on with it - in the face of a wall of abuse.

There are sound absorbing panels which reduce noise, and you can get portable foldable ones - they probably don't work very well in the open air, but one placed between the speaker and the TRAs, it would give some noise reduction, and above all it would be a visible protective gesture. Better than nothing?

This is horrifying. Women speaking about how mothers are dying in hhe NHS due to men demanding their rights Trump women's lives, and women are harassed and threatened in public by men in front of the police?

Brave women going to this and speaking up.

The mainstream media won't report any of this, meaning that ordinary people who don't need to have their finger on the pulse of current affairs - such as Sir Keir Starmer - can plausibly say "I see no ships"

Sickened by the footage of this. Police don’t give a shit and said the TRAs were entitled to ‘freedom of speech’, despite the fact they were screaming in the women’s faces. Such dark times for women.

I hope you weren't having meatballs.

The women who spoke had important things to say and managed despite the awful agression going on around. The NHS worker talking about how seriously ill at risk kidney patients were not given private rooms , in favour of these men wanting special privilege was extremely shocking. Thank you to all that were there and hope you are all safe now, no thanks to the large number of police visible at the beginning.

Utter disgrace ! I am so angry this weekend - are they doubling down? Solidarity with all the brave women there ! That violent MAN should be locked back up!

JKR mentions it. Hopefully it means some coverage:

For those who don't know, Sarah Jane Baker is a trans-identified man who served 30 years in prison for kidnap and attempted murder. He was previously recalled to men's prison for urging the crowd to 'punch a TERF' at a London Pride rally.

Only the Conservatives however are not taking the Stonewall nonsense.

They seem to have supported Stonewall happily up to now.

Yep.

And although it's taken them far too long to realise, and too many women have suffered under 'hate crime-non crime bollocks', and so many ordinary women have put their hand in their pocket to help 'prove' that women don't have a penis...they are finally, finally openly discussing it in parliament....BUT we are at risk of all that being undone, because Labour haven't done their homework or simply don't give a shit enough about women to recognise the conflict.

Respectfully, this has all happened on the Tory's watch! Labour haven't been in power since 2010. If the Tories cared so much they'd have done stuff in the kast five years rather than squirmed and ignored and then chucked some stuff in a manifesto when they know they have no chance of being reelected.

Respectfully, the reason all this has happened is because of legislation brought in by the last Labour Government - the GRA and EqA both of which are working exactly as Labour intended them to. Have you heard the Labour opposition decrying any of what is happening? Heard KS express any horror at male rapists and sex offenders being placed in the female prison estate? Question the current Government on why that was happening? No, because he knew it would due to the legislation of the last Labour Government and he is proud of those Acts.

The Tories, very belatedly admittedly, woke up. Yes they left it far too late, but at least they have listened, seen the problems and looked at how to correct them.

Labour will not. They have shown they do not care.

Oh, for sure. He could be asked about it, though. "Sir Keir, I'm sure you must have seen the footage on SM of women being harassed at LWS events, most recently in Brighton..."

for that to work you would somehow have to get his fingers out of his ears whilst he was going "La la la". never going to happen.

Perhaps dear Keir should attend a LWS event and see for himself all the Labour Party supporters and trades unionists, all in their tee shirts, abusing and shouting down women?

And those men think they’re progressive?

They're being kind.

How incredibly upsetting watching that OP.
Its very telling that one of the organisers in encouraging women to speak actually had to say don’t be scared.
Surely the men surrounding the women should have been pushed back and not allowed to disrupt the event.
The police clearly aren’t there to protect women.

I’m completely speechless.

I hope anyone disgusted by this remembers women have a say at the general election and voting Labour just means more and worse of the same.

The bullshit in their manifesto about reducing violent crime against women by 50%. Just not this type of violent crime then.

Isn't violence against women in a public place, with police standing round an important issue?

Just shameful.

That no one is speaking out against this.

What it means is that our right to freedom of speech only goes as far as male violence lets it.
