"Adult Human Female" film / freedom of speech

Please watch this film about womens' rights / trans issues, and share widely if you agree with the message
player.vimeo.com/video/775343150

I have name changed for this post, and will name change again afterwards, as it doesn't feel safe to speak openly / freely about this

Students blocked a showing of this film. So much for freedom of speech

Please keep this stuff in the Feminism section where it belongs. I’m here to judge if people ABU, it is inappropriate to put it where people will be ambushed by things they don’t wish to see.

@MyOpinion1978, you can scroll past and not open the link?

@MyOpinion1978, you can scroll past and not open the link?

Or they can post in the appropriate place rather than seeking traffic so they can troll people who disagree with them who are only here for a laugh?

MinnieMountain · 15/12/2022 17:36

I presume you post the same on any other serious “posting for traffic” threads then @MyOpinion1978 ?

GrandMarnierChocolate · 15/12/2022 17:38

Thanks for sharing this. I'd been meaning to see why men in black masks want it banned.

Who are you to dictate to other Women where they can put threads.

Scroll on if you don't like the title.

I think it's disgusting that a man is stopping women from entering a building to watch this.

Chrysanthemum5 · 15/12/2022 17:39

Wow this was moved very quickly to the naughty step

catandcoffee · 15/12/2022 17:40

Fucking hail that was quick

Happylittlechicken · 15/12/2022 17:44

Maybe @MyOpinion1978 knows someone…..

To be fair, anyone can report a post to MN and suggest it's moved to a more appropriate topic. I do it myself sometimes

But, for such an important topic, it seems a shame to move it from AIBU where there's generally a larger audience

Anyway, the film is worth watching and I'd urge you to share it as widely as possible

Yet another person trying to block the freedom of Speech of Women. @Mumsnet why have you complied with this posters wish to silence women?

It belongs anywhere where women might read it. Who made you the arbiter of what women are allowed to encounter? Scroll past and ignore if it's not of interest to you.

NatalieIsFreezing · 15/12/2022 17:56

Thanks OP, I'll have a look. Women's rights are discussed all over this forum in one way or another so don't think it's a big deal to post here.

FourTeaFallOut · 15/12/2022 17:57

Ambushed🤣

NatalieIsFreezing · 15/12/2022 17:57

Oh too late! God forbid anyone accidentally reads stuff about women on here!

Helleofabore · 15/12/2022 18:00

Wow! that was a record time shift.

Helleofabore · 15/12/2022 18:02

@AdultHumanFemaleAHF You can report your thread and ask for it to be moved back. I would. We have multiple threads about the documentary already active here.

Just report and ask. They can only say no but sometimes they do move it back.

tedgran · 15/12/2022 18:05

People being ambushed? WTAF?

lifeturnsonadime · 15/12/2022 18:09

People being ambushed by what they don't want to see

Well for a start no one is trying to make a surprised or concealed attack on anyone BUT what why don't you want to see this?

Is it because it reveals what the end game actually is which is to prevent women from meeting and discussing issues that affect them? Why don't people want women to see this?

it's very very revealing.

Helleofabore · 15/12/2022 18:18

So now we are in chat??

well that is something anyway.

FourTeaFallOut · 15/12/2022 18:31

It's frightening how universities cannot or will not make a space to speak plainly about sex and gender. How do you even begin to speak about the basics of feminism when all the words are scrambled, biology is forbidden and gender narratives are considered the currency of the 'true self'?

spartanrunnergirl · 15/12/2022 18:34

Astonishing that it is controversial, creates fear and abuse to state the material reality of biological sex, and that biological sex classification matters to protect women's rights. Trans rights activist demands to be classified legally as a gender identified with, creates an inevitable clash of rights and debating this like adults, recognising that conferring rights to one group potentially discriminate against another should not be censored or subject to abuse. I am sick of this bullying, aggressive behaviour of trans-activists, particularly extremist trans women activists who think they have a right to female space because of how they 'feel' like a woman.

Helleofabore · 15/12/2022 18:42

Even more remarkable the male who was videoed as one of the blockers described themselves as an ‘adult human female’.

Just in case any woman was still of the opinion ‘It is only a word. It is nice to call them woman’. No, it is the whole definition. They have now claimed female. As we were warned years ago.

There is no word that means just human female of any age as a distinct group of people.

borntobequiet · 15/12/2022 18:47

People need to be aware of the ways in which women are being silenced over this. It’s horrifying.

Who made you the thread police? Women are allowed to talk about stuff that affects it. If you don't like it, scroll on by.
