Linehan tweeting misogyny and racism now

It's bizarre, isn't it? Like a child dragging something back to the house to get us to tell off the other kid.

Women here are not responsible for what men say on the internet.

Unless they are our actual children, and even then, there are limits.

Ooo, now I can segue to the Llangollen canal which has 2 fine aqueducts and is currently being repaired after suffering a dramatic breach around Christmas. The heavy machinery available is a far cry from the armies of navvies with picks, shovels and wheelbarrows who built it and then went on to build railways and roads, hurrah for them and their labours.

Glad to see the extraordinary claims about Brunel importing black slaves to build railways and steeam ships were tackled, I saw them last night and wondered how anyone can parade such ignorance without even checking their facts, especially whilst using the interent which makes it easier than ever to check facts. A far cry from hoping that the Encyclopedia Britannica in the library would be of use, honestly these folx don't know their born. I understand William the Conquerer made a significant dent in slavery here by banning markets but likely for economic reasons, not out of the goodness of his heart.

That breach was awful. I watched the footage of them retrieving the boats and it was heartening to see how people rallied round those that lost their boats or had to find the resourcfes for repair. Seemed a lovely supportive community.

'Women who know that men can't magically become women - that's a cult I'm interested in.

Are GC women really swarming to become Reformers thanks to Glinners sneaky tactics - can't say I'd noticed but maybe the Russians are paying him?

It is true that Imane Khelif is not female. Males with dsds may not be caught in countries where there is less access to medical care. Or where there may be no reason to think the child suffers from a dsd until they hit puberty, and don’t develop in a way they would if they were the sex presumed.

When puberty kicks in, with some types of dsd that males can have, their internal testicles (because they didn’t form properly to be outside the body) produce the testosterone as expected for a male. And you see he responds to it, even without the testing he underwent which highlighted he is male. So, not based on a hunch at all. To try to pretend he is a girlie is bollocks (excuse the pun).

So, nothing about ‘identification’ or ‘trans’. Just a male with a disorder of sexual development.

A dsd doesn’t make a male not male. Just other disorders/conditions do not make someone less human. They just have a condition.

The amazing spider like digger that was used to help get the boats out was driven by a woman! I think she had 20 minutes practice to learn to control all the bits of it that moved independently and then got on and did a cracking job.

Also, the boat called Sefton was the last of its particular build on the canals, it was the one right at the bottom and got hammered. The owners couldn't face restoring it but it has been bought by a couple who wanted a project and were somewhat taken aback at the amount of interest their little youtube channel suddenly attracted.

Some relatives used to keep a boat up there which we have borrowed a number of times so I am taking an interest, as may be apparent, ahem.

Yep.

I don’t subscribe to your made up version, just the real one, hope that helps.

Women's spaces with no access to voting?

Now you’ve completely shown yourself to be the very opposite of a feminist.
Imane Khelife is male. He is pretending to be female. Males who pretend to be female are the very definition of trans. He knows he is male and all those around him also know he’s male. He’s a grifter who’s exploiting his DSD for ££££s. And here you are pretending he’s female.

I'm surprised at those figures. I grew up in a very multicultural area so imagined the figure was higher. My husband was one of the 20,000.

Do you know if mixed race people are included in those figures?

In many circles, the fact that you believe a man can never be a woman is the very epitome of bigotry.

I'm pretty sure GL doesn't want to remove women's right to vote, but even if he did, this would not change the fundamental fact that humans come in two distinct sexes which are not interchangeable. .

Do you know if mixed race people are included in those figures?

I don't know but suspect that the number of mixed race people in 1953 was very low because

1. There weren't many black or brown people
2. There was little interracial marriage.

the idea that he doesn’t want women to have voting rights is quite laughable really

His posts are problematic.

1. name two examples of the patriarchy on the exam for school leavers. That’s a good thing. How are we meant to educate future men on their male privilege and entitlement if they aren’t even taught about their patriarchy?

2. the Disney shuffle doesn’t coincide with a drop in quality. The main proof of that was Toy Story which was actually a Pixar creation that Disney then bought out. Disney creators didn’t think of it. These male leaders had not produced anything in a very long time, Disney just got tired of buying successes and they got sacked for failure to perform. The entire narrative of men fired, women hired and then the company now declines or implodes is purely misogyny.

3. the Diversity Built Britain is 100% true no matter how far back into history you go. To pretend that it was the white ruling class of Eton boys that built Britain is an utter joke and yes that sort of pretence is racist and misogynist.

Oh I thought there were established black and mixed race communities particularly in port cities like Liverpool. I wonder if the figures are from censuses, could be inaccurate for example I know my kids will tick white black or mixed race on forms depending on how they feel at the time.

I started school in the 1950s and was a minority as most of the kids were black or mixed race, even my class teacher was black, her DD was my best friend. The neighbouring Catholic school was the opposite with only a handful of black kids. There werent many Asian children but that changed as we ent through the 60s.

I never realised how unusual my childhood was. I guess you just see your normal á normal.

I don't know much about him so if he posts something I assume that's what he means. All I know about him is he's a white man, I think he's Irish, he's GC.

Given a choice between voting for someone who locks female prisoners up with men, or voting for someone who will scrap gender pay gap reporting, I'll vote for the president who will protect female prisoners. I'd have expected the proper old-school Left to agree with me on this. Gender pay gaps address problems faced by women who are privileged enough to have a job (a.k.a. the ever-demonised "middle-class white feminists"). Rehousing men into the male estate where they belong protects some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people within society.

Gender identity cultists will justify anything, no matter how much it hurts a group of women who are more likely to have been DV victims and more likely to have been brought up in poverty than every other group of women out there.

In the very text you quote: "producing either large ova or small sperm".

That's a binary outcome.

There's a huge overlap between identifying as trans and being autistic. Autistic people, as a group, struggle to recognise jokes.

I am autistic and did not recognise it as satire.

Having said all of that...

Black and brown people ("moors" and other such terms in older parlance) have been here in small numbers for a long time. There's been a Yemeni community in South Shields since the late Victorian period.

There's also archaelogical evidence of Africans serving in Britain with Roman garrisons and using building techniques from "home" on Hadrian's Wall, so they did help to build that particular World Heritage site.

What's horrifying me is that felt-identity politics has parasitised the Left to the point where there wasn't a presidential candidate who would protect both women in prison and working women.

That photo where Trump is surrounded by sportswomen and girls in their training attire as he signs that EO, the Left made that photograph possible.

Can anyone clarify exactly what Graham did that has given rise to the idea that he's anti votes for women?

Nope. It is a product of their deranged fevered imagination and taking everything out of context.
