Aibu to be pissed off that Women are being told not to bang on about female reproduction rights in regards to the Women’s March today? Monroe has a huge following, has been vocal in interviews, articles, TV, radio etc. They recently were featured in Woman’s Hour’s celebration of women.

Just watching News 24 and the reporter at the women's march just now was stood in front of a banner saying 'sisterhood not cisterhood'.

UpABitLate · 21/01/2018 12:04

But many women are marching for other women. That's kind of the whole fucking point.

This is pure projection, the idea that everyone marching is doing so for selfish reasons.

DonkeySkin · 21/01/2018 12:13

Trans women are fucking TRANS WOMEN!!!!!!! Not women!!!

They're not women of any sort, and it's imperative that we name them as men. 'Transwomen' is a word that reverses reality. They are just men. Virulently sexist men, for the most part. Women need to stop deferring to these male misogynists. Start by rejecting Orwellian terms like 'transwomen'.

MadamMinacious · 21/01/2018 12:21

Does anyone else really wish they lived in a different era so we didn't have to put up with this bullshit. Why are they taking over a women's march?

Different era, different bullshit. Women have always been oppressed because they were born women, biology matters. There isn't an era in the past where women haven't put up with bullshit sadly. That said I do know where you are coming from - this shit is exhausting.

MadamMinacious · 21/01/2018 12:22

And for what it is worth Monroe isn't attractive enough to be a model and was only chosen out of pity.

I think Monroe is very attractive, a very attractive TIM.

I have found my people!

OP I entirely agree. HE can call himself a woman until the cows come home, but that won't make it come true. He is a MAN, despite what he might think. And he is using that typically male entitlement to tell women what they can and cannot think about and speak about in a women's only space, and that needs to be challenged.

'Trans women' like him are an absolute joke, they are men, and we all need to stop colluding in the lie. If that makes me a TERF, I don't give a single shit.

Yes, yes, yes! Stop colluding in the lie. Call them what they are. MEN.

Gingernaut · 21/01/2018 12:29

Some heeded the advice. A lot didn't.

Pictures included a lot of people dressed as the fertile handmaidens from The Handmaid's Tale.

There were a fair few pink pussy hats....

As far as I am aware Trump did not say 'grab em by the lady dick'

Only men can be transwomen therefore transwomen are men

Munroe needs to realise this march is not about him. Women's rights are not about him. Feminism is not about him.

Then he needs to fuck off .

FucksBizz · 21/01/2018 12:33

Munroe needs to realise this march is not about him. Women's rights are not about him. Feminism is not about him.

Yes, the rest of the 'trans' community need to do this too.

catgirl1976 · 21/01/2018 12:37

They really do

Trying to work out who I have the most sympathy for, the deluded women who support this shite or the transgender women who would never dream of denying women’s biology being linked to this shit.

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 21/01/2018 12:48

I thinks that's satire, but it's hard to know these days

catgirl1976 · 21/01/2018 12:49

Goady I think you've got a wonderful way of getting people on board with your point of view. No doubt your finely nuanced and persuasive arguments will give lots of people cause to stop and reconsider their views.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 21/01/2018 12:49

They have no posting history so it could be real - if it is I hope it stands rather than is deleted (so don't report folks!)

SumThucker · 21/01/2018 12:50

Is that a quote Goady or your opinion? If it's the latter I hope your balls explode.

catgirl1976 · 21/01/2018 12:50

Also, I understand the things going on in pubs very well indeed. Drinking. It's a talent of mine.

QueenLaBeefah · 21/01/2018 12:50

Must come as a shock to someone that has been brought up as a boy that they do not get to automatically become our overlords because they know how to apply mascara.

catgirl1976 · 21/01/2018 12:51

And pub quizzes. I'm good at those.

catgirl1976 · 21/01/2018 12:56

Goady sounds uncannily like Bergdorf in the language they use. If you google 'Bergdorf womans march' this is the first thread that comes up.

Geronimoleapinglizards · 21/01/2018 12:56

Mmmm..I cannot wait for the time when all you TERF fuckers are dead and buried

Please, MNHQ, let this stand.

Stay at home you cis-fucks

Personally, knowing everything on the internet is being archived and saved for posterity, I take heart knowing that future women will see what women in 2018 were dealing with. The violence, the attempts at eradication and intimidation.

The tone of what Goady posted is seen over and over on twitter. All women should know the reality of what TRA's are posting.

Geronimoleapinglizards · 21/01/2018 13:00

And op FML but this has given me the rage. We're not supposed to talk about reproductive systems? Absolutely no. I'm not going there. Women won't be silenced.

Women are adult, human females. That's it.

Transwomen are men. Men deserving of the same respect and rights as every other human. Men who don't deserve abuse or to be oppressed, the same as every other human. But not women.

CAAKE · 21/01/2018 13:00

Yes, @GoadyAsBalls's post has many similarities to MB's writing style. Including the crimes against apostrophes.

I agree @Geronimoleapinglizards - that post must stand here on an AIBU thread, plain as day for many many MNers to see.
