One year later protests

Ha ha! Can someone do the maths for me, is the date this year right from the right date? Right? 😜

They are right in the comment about the SCR date - it was 16th April, not 26th!

Every day's a school day on MN!

'Biddy' as an insult has an interesting history - - it comes from the Irish name Brigid, Biddy being the associated pet name, and was a derogatory term for a female servant, many of whom, in both the UK and US, were Irish migrant women.
So it's a bit of an omnislur, against Irish women, working class women, and now older women.
Xenophobia, classism and ageism as well as misogyny in one word!

And the ageism. Same as the "Mothers of trans children" thread. Labelling women "biddies" while at the same time warning each other to "take extra caution if you are in Brighton that day".

I mean WTF.

Women aren't the ones with baseball bats, offensive signs, loudspeakers, drums, petrol, bricks or crickets.

Their misogyny always shines out.

I'd be more likely to go into Spoons for a pint than a cuppa 😆

One of them says:

Mumsnetters are trying to organise it from what I can tell, if true that's fucking hilarious 😂😂

He should look up how For Women Scotland began... 😉

Lots of cope in the posts.
"Three soggy old ladies going into Wetherspoons for a cuppa"
Well, if it's raining, and it's unlimited refills to get your core temperature up.
I know one thing, these TRAs are pissed off inside.

We've made it on to Reddit, ladies!! 🏆

⚠️ Another wave of the transphobic "199 Days Later" protests is coming

Apologies if I've been a bit blunt and block headed. Not my intention to be insensitive or offend.

Interesting, since I'm not a member, supporter, or planning to vote Reform.
But feel free to project.
And last thing I looked, 20% of Mumsnetters ARE Reform supporters, you not engaging with them either?
Ah, they're not male, so that's ok then.

'Why don't you try and argue with me rather than vent against me?
Male, GC, Reform, is a problem on this site?'

I'm GC. But that doesn't mean I'd lose myself to right wing extremist ideology.

I'm certainly not wasting breath on a male Reform supporter. 🤢

Toodles x

You give me way to much credit if you think I have the power to wedge anything.
Why don't you try and argue with me rather than vent against me?
Male, GC, Reform, is a problem on this site?

It is late at night and I really should be devoting my time to other things but you are starting to seriously annoy me. You are a right of centre, Reform adjacent man who is exploiting women's GC views to wedge us in your direction. We have many things to consider when we step into the ballot box. Education, Health provision for our children, us and our family, childcare,... The list goes on and on.

Who the fuck are you to mansplain all over multiple threads where women are working out what is in the best interests of them and their families?

The SNP and Scottish Greens poll 50% between them. That's an awful lot of women who must know these parties are the implacable enemy of women, yet still choose to lend them their votes.
Sorry, but parties that can't define women can in no way have policies that can champion them.
Men cosplaying at being women, well, I can perfectly see why they'd vote for this shower.
But, they amount to 3% max, what about the rest?

In my diary!

I don't think it is that 50% of women don't care about women. I think it's that oit of all the dire choices, many women - myself included - make the choice to vote for eg Labour as the least bad when compared to Reform, Tories, Greens, Lib Dem.

On this one issue Labour are prob 4th best on that list, but on other issues Labour are one of the top ones.

I'm not here to tell anyone how to balance things up, but it is emphatically not that the majority of women don't care.

Sure, but 30% of Scots will vote SNP with the "let men into women's prisons" ethos, and as many as 10-15% for Scottish Greens with the "there are men and women, trans men and trans women, and rapists as genders" ethos.
That's 40-45% of Scottish voters who at worst have totally lost it, at best don't really care about women's rights.
How many of that 40-45% are women voters? Likely over half.
Maybe close to 50% of all women voters are not considering women's rights.

But the left reality deniers are 50% women, maybe the majority . So 50% at least of women in left politics don't care about women?

Just putting this here as well, I posted it over in the SNP thread.

Can I draw your attention to the latest petition on the petitions board. Please have a look.

I'm glad the event is being held but I'm depressed that it needs to be held. It frustrates and angers me that women are always having to beg for governments to recognise their specific needs.

Not only are those in charge of society unable to tell the truth, they also forget they ever lied about it.

There's a lot of magical thinking going on in the leftie establishment, which can't cope with reality

They know perfectly well what the reality is.

They just dont think women should have the right to be right.

And in this case are so sure that what they think is correct, they are basically saying effo off to the Supreme Court.

And they think, and deep down know, that in the end the patriarchy will prevail.

They aren't embarrassed, no one is pointng the finger at them.

They just have to wait it out.
