Not quite. I think the comedy of the situation is taking care of itself.

One of these days someone is going to write a brilliant comedy about these men and their antics.

@Glinner?

I laughed and laughed so fucking hard.

I'd pay good money to see Azure in conversation with Naomi Cunningham and Ben Cooper.

It'd be tragic, expectation vs reality, if it wasn't so faintly hilarious. They must have some self awareness, they made sure their supporters all had their backs to them. I expect they saw themselves showing quiet dignity, a touching vulnerability. Not a bunch of pale, tubby, out of condition men with an incoherent message. Who'd, apparently, just been helping with the lambing.

I think that they were attempting this look. Nul point lads.

Im not sure if this will load, but it's a picture of topless women with red arms protesting on IWD in France.
https://medyanews.net/femen-stages-high-profile-anti-fascist-protest-at-paris-womens-day-demonstration/

Around 100 activists marched topless in Paris with US, European or Russian flags painted on their chests, along with a swastika and the words “fascist epidemic” drawing attention to the increasing right-wing shift in many countries. The activists carried black smoke torches, and many painted their right arms red and drew Hitler moustaches on their faces. They chanted slogans such as “Fascist epidemic, feminist response” and “For a feminist Europe, not a fascist one”. They also staged a performance targeting prominent figures, with one activist shouting out “Heil Donald Trump, Heil Vladimir Putin, Heil Elon Musk”, with the others repeating the slogan and raising their right arms in the Nazi salute.
FEMEN is a feminist activist group founded in Ukraine in 2008 by Anna Hutsol, Oksana Shachko and Alexandra Shevchenko. The organisation moved its headquarters to Paris in 2013 after facing harassment and legal pressures in Ukraine. They are known for their provocative topless protests aimed at challenging patriarchy, gender inequality and various forms of oppression, including from religious institutions, political corruption and sex trafficking. Their slogan, “I came, I stripped, I won,” reflects their bold and confrontational approach.

Those women are also attention seekers.

I think they were hoping we'd be outraged at the sight of their nakedness.

It's about as shocking as when toddlers run around refusing to get in the bath, tbh.

What work?

Can you see how this thread (and most of the others) looks for the gender critical community? It just comes across as an unhealthy obsession. You have the choice not to pay any attention and to not make any thread online yet you choose to every day years on end anytime any trans person does something.

You have the choice not to pay any attention

Or: let the men do what they want, because you don’t matter.

It's bizarre and weird behaviour, that is almost certainly having the opposite effect to what these odd collection of men intend, so we're laughing about it.

Scold all you like, makes no difference! Thanks for your input.

I think that’s the issue, the laughing. As Margaret Atwood said “men are scared women will laugh at them, women are scared men will kill them.”

They don’t like the laughing because they don’t understand the laughing, because we shouldn’t be laughing, we should be cowering behind the sofa weeping quietly and feeling awed by the demonstration of masterful yet feminine beauty that we can never hope to emulate because we just haven’t got the hang of being women.

The amusing element of this is the idea that anyone would look at this protest and go “Oh yes, they seem like sane and rational people supporting a worthy cause.”

Exactly! Why on earth would anyone be concerned about these demure, vulnerable, timid 'ladies' entering changing rooms and toilets designated for women and girls? Great work fellas.

I read that they were pleased that there were no arrests. Why would there be…?

Weirdy blokes with fake boobs are precisely the type of man I don’t want to see in of the women’s toilets up here. They really do themselves no favours.

I think the only poster with an ‘unhealthy obsession’ is you coming onto this board Chris, repeatedly, to scold women 😂.

Take your own advice, why don’t you ignore any threads on women talking about problematic men and their supporters. You’ve got the choice not to take any notice. Easy peasy.

Is social distancing still a thing in Scotland, or ard there just not that many people bothered enough to be there?

Just round the corner from Parliament is the gorgeous Holyrood Park. Hundreds of people (including me) were there, enjoying the sun, oblivious to the protest :)

WallaceinAnderland · 18/05/2025 18:08

ArabellaScott · 18/05/2025 14:52

Here's the current line up:

'Smoke Bombs' by Pink Codpiece and the Gimp Masks of Doom.
'Witch, witch, witch' by Shouty Zimmerman
'Repent Motherfucker' from the Holy Tambourines
'Piss Showers' by Duckface and the Transparent Negligees
'I don't like Crickets. I love them' from Crazy Kids with Rich Parents
'Interns' from Baby Fascist and the Dungarees
'Be Trans, Do Crime' from An Actual Crime Loving Criminal

And our latest entry: 'Taps Aff fer the Lads' from Edinbra Less Collective.

Audience vote could go either way.

RoyalCorgi · 18/05/2025 17:47

The whole point of a demonstration like this is to draw people's attention and get people talking about it.

But oh - not us! When we talk about it, as usual a man comes along to scold us. Naughty women! What's that rule of misogyny again? "Women have all the rights they need - the right to remain silent."

Seriestwo · 18/05/2025 17:35

all it right me was that you can’t put tits on a bloke and make him look like a woman. He just looks like a bloke with weird tits.

This protest was outside the Scottish Parliament. Many of us are from Scotland and have been horrified (but unsurprised to be fair) at the absolute fucking state of these protesters who are making a very visible, mad bastardry protest. It's in the national newspapers!

The absolute cheek of you to say we should be making the choice to not pay attention when what these men are doing is demanding attention!

But oh no, avert your eyes ladies as these protesters make a show of Scotland across the world! Don't pay them any attention as they demand that women's rights be demolished!

And I'm normally of the 'operation let them speak' mindset but I am not in the mood today for a pious lecture from a proponent of this anti reality, bat shit nonsense.

RedToothBrush · 18/05/2025 16:32

Hmmm. Well I might refer to my previous post on this thread about the lack of self awareness and the public relations image it creates in terms of the political goal of accessing women's toilets.

No decent PR company would say "hey now this moob protest, sounds like a cracking idea. It'll give us the visuals we are looking for to reinforce our 'most vulnerable in society's strapline".

Quite.

The message of 'we have huge issuse with social appropriacy, boundaries, and with losing it with rage if told to respect other people's rights! Now hand us access to non consenting women in a state of undress!'

is probably not a well thought out one.
