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...

They are in a difficult spot, because they essentially go after people in power, and then humilliate them i.e. punching up. The TG movement appears to be from grass roots perspective i.e. LGBT but really its a mens rights movement. Thats hard to tackle from a "punching up" perspective.

The fact that they haven't seem to touch the person reported to be in power i.e. JK probably indicates what side they are on.

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.

Excellent point...

I mean paitent zero is Trump, he has got a lot of support on the "I support women" after the "grab them by the pussy". It was so easy for him.

Actually thinking about it..... maybe they funded some of it, to create a division and to stop us talking about the Stormy Daniels/pussy grabbing/piece of shit.

This is all well and good but where do these men stand on equality and women’s rights in general?

I know more than a fair few men who are very staunchly against trans women in women’s sports, facilities etc….

But are fairly misogynist on many other topics.

Dave Chapelle

Case in point. He is absolutely misogynistic in a lot of his “comedy”.

He just also has an issue with trans people. So his “defence” of women in this regard is purely accidental. He is the “Donald Trump” of anti-trans campaigners.

Also, all those men who caved because of what their kids said

Come on for god's sake, stand up for what you believe in!!

When was this?Confused AFAIK Nick Robinson is firmly onside. He and Justin are a double-team.

Are you sure about that? Justin Webb has been GC for some years — I think he'd seen what was happening during his time in the US. I'm not sure Nick Robinson is. I've heard him do at least a couple of interviews where he's not asked the questions that needed to be asked and gone very easy on pro-trans interviewees. I wouldn't have put money on him being GC.

LBC and Times Radio for letting their presenters really get into this issue on air (unlike other broadcasters I could mention)

MuchasSmoochas · 20/04/2025 23:54

Max Pell of Fennech Financial on LinkedIn was a vocal early supporter. Was very kind to me, I was an EDI manager and left my job as gender critical. He offered to look at my CV to help me find another job. He probably won’t see this but thank you Max 👏

Private Eye have disappointed me.

They havent picked either side but I expected a publication that pushed the Post Office Scandal and are all over the Lucy Letby case issues would be more vocal. They simply dont seem to mention it at all.

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.

I have no idea what his real name is, but I follow a very funny Twitter account called “hellothisisivan” and he is a vocally GC gay man. Very cool about it as well.

Not really on topic, but Glinner proved what a mensch he is back in 2009, when he forced the Express to apologise for an absolutely foul story about the survivors of the Dunblane massacre. He also was very very kind to an acquaintance of mine who crashed a van when working on a runner on a show of his. She spoke of him in glowing terms, and said how his first concern was her wellbeing, when she was terrified she was about to lose her job.

Ricky Gervais.
Jonathan Ross tried but buckled under pressure from his daughter. He did do something for Graham Linehan's book.

Gosh, whatever happened to Rose of Dawn?

Strangely enough I saw a tweet from them on X today. They seemed really upset after the ruling on Wednesday. From what I could make out seemed to think a lot of GC people had turned on them and I think they just went quiet because of all the flak. I'd forgot all about them until I saw the post, they used to post so much stuff on YouTube.

Sean Ingle. Not easy at the Guardian, especially with low-sperm-count woman hater Jonathon Liew on the staff
