Like so many here, I have been disheartened by the lack of support from so many famous men, those I liked and or admired are now and will forever be in my blacklist. Same for companies.
This whole experience has been so hard and I thank all the incredible women who carried on and spoke for us...
However, who are the men who were on our side? Andrew Neil? Piers Morgan? There aren't many but would love to hear some names of those who put women first...

Robert Webb. He got so much aggro for it when he appeared on SCD. And I hope he's doing OK now after his heart issues.

They are in a difficult spot, because they essentially go after people in power, and then humilliate them i.e. punching up.

I am not sure I buy that to be honest

@2021x & @PyongyangKipperbang

As I said on another thread, Private Eye know that they can go after people in power with no fear of repercussions. The worst that could happen would be a threat of libel which they would relish.
However the trans movement are a different matter. Look at the hatred and terrifying threats aimed at those who have stood up to them.

Fear go a long way in silencing people, it why it's so important open discussion happens.

Elon Musk buying Twitter and unbanning pp like Glinner, Posie Parker etc and allowing free speech was pretty huge.

Jordan Peterson -spoke the truth from the start and didn't back down, even though his career and reputation were at stake.

Caitlyn Jenner - stated that he is and always will be biologically male and that it wasn't fair for trans women to compete in female sports.

Yet Caitlyn Jenner uses female toilets. Been seen coming out of them.

@Hwi

Bloody hell, you're at it again with your homophobic bullshit!

"Not all gay people abandoned us." 🙄

Gay women have been leading this fight from the beginning! Allison Bailey, Kathleen Stock, Julie Bindel, Martina Navratilova, Scottish Lesbians- and they're just the high-profile ones. And Andrew Doyle is far from the only gay man who has been on the side of women- James Dreyfuss and Gareth Roberts are just two of the gay men who have been outspoken on this issue.

Also Rishi Sunak. Not nearly as much as some on here but he did set a clear tone.

Rishi Sunak preventing self id coming into UK law when Scotland was pressurising them to do it marked a massive turning point. He did a lot

Andew Doyle - gay and supported us - so not all gay people abandoned us.
Debbie Hayton - fantastic, clever.

D Hayton? Clever? Like the school guidance he wrote?

Doesn't strike me as supporting women.

Boy George is extremely pro-trans and frequently attacks feminists on his twitter account and is always saying TWAW. He was lost to the cult long ago.

Show quote history

On the basis Boy George got 15m sentence for beating and handcuffing a male escort to a radiator, I’m happier to not have him in the list even if he was rabidly GC.

Yes, came on to add Robert Winston, who spoke common scientific sense years ago and subsequently cancelled in much of the media since.

Good old Marilyn didn't let us down. I suspected that Boy George was on our side but didn't say anything.

I am not sure I buy that to be honest. I agree that their thing has always been lampooning those who have the power, Trump was an absolute gift (but lets face it, an easy and lazy target), same with Musk. But they have fought and supported really important social issues (PO scandal being the biggest), so it seems that they are too scared to say what they think or, dont actually care if women get fucked up.

Either way, I am thinking of cancelling my sub.

Fair enough, I don’t even subscribe so what do I care, I just thought that their silence around JK was more telling as she is pretty easy to lampoon if you agree with the TRAs

The same Jordan Peterson who said women wear red lipstick at work to “entice men” and wrote a series of tweets bodyshaming a model for daring to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated while being fat.

THAT Jordan Peterson?

Oh god…. We just need Lawrence Fox and we’ve filled the bingo card of men I find deplorable. And yet I’m 100% GC!

Edited

I hate to be on the same side as Piers Morgan on anything but we don’t have to agree with anyone on everything to agree on some issues. But sadly that seems to be the way of the world these days.

Yes, they have been a huge letdown, though there's always been something boys clubby and misogynistic about them. Perhaps we need another list of people who we'd have expected to speak up who didn't.

Show quote history

Yes they do have that "Old Boys" thing about them.

But I really thought that they would say something. I agree that we need another list.
