AIBU in thinking AIBU is the correct place for this thread

Let's see how long this stays here.

Am I being unreasonable to think that the above thread should be right here, in AIBU, rather than tucked away in the Feminism board? Reason - because a woman doesn't need to be a feminist to be affected by this issue.

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

Apologies if people think I am being patronising. Absolutely not my intention.

Right - I need to sort out dinner. Will be back later.

YABU.

You are not looking for a sane, rational discussion as evidenced by you hyperbolic: WAKE UP everyone and Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

I'm awake. Fully awake and alert.

I don't agree with your views.

I find it tedious your, and your cohort's, relentless efforts to force (not persuade) others to your point of view.

It's like Brexit all over again. FTR, I was a remainer.

I was a remainer. Lifelong leftie. I also thought this issue was odd and wouldn't ever really happen and WTF were people going on about? Surely it's overblown?

But then once you see it, you can't unsee it.

(Bit like that cock in those leggings)

Yes get the ridiculousness out into the open. Everyone needs to know this is happening. You can't bury your heads in the sand over this.

What makes you think the women on here aren't awake?

picklemewalnuts · 24/01/2023 19:06

It makes no sense to me that a news story about a rapist being confined with women is considered a feminist topic that needs confining to the feminist section.

I mean, what? Why should this news story be stuck in feminism?

SquirrelsHide · 24/01/2023 19:06

I agree - it's not a 'feminist' issue, it's an all-out attack on women and girls everywhere. I don't have words to describe what I think of politicians and leaders who are enabling and actively supporting this.

Refreshmentsanyone · 24/01/2023 19:07

@Trez1510 genuinely, what bit do you not agree with?

I do understand people feel in the wrong body or prefer the trappings of a different gender. . But what if that 118 year old nun decided she was a man. Should science really record the worlds oldest person as a man. Does it really help anyone to lie.

This is so true ... once you see it you can't un-see it.

YANBU

Skyellaskerry · 24/01/2023 19:08

Yanbu. This is not a feminist issue.

Interesting, so do you think this rapist belongs in women's jail?

Spring23 · 24/01/2023 19:08

What a bloody awful human that person is. We need a better solution than sending such to women's prisons whatever 'side' of this nuance free debate you're on.

Men commit 99% of sex crimes. This is why we segregate spaces by sex. Pretending that gender is more important than sex puts all women and girls in danger and so we all need to know about this.

Maybe in Chat but it's not an AIBU is it?

OP is asking if it's unreasonable to say that AIBU is the right place for this thread.
Essentially, since AIBU is the busiest place on MN generally, this important issue needs to be demonstrated to as many women add possible.
The trans wankery needs to be exposed, over and over again, until women realize that their rights are being trampled on by men.
As usual.

It needs to be here. This is disgusting, and an inevitable conclusion from the ideology that many have sat back and been silent about. Shout it from the roof tops. We will not go silently.

JellySaurus · 24/01/2023 19:17

I do not understand why a male criminal with a particular belief should be imprisoned anywhere order than a male prison. Are male Muslims imprisoned in different prisons to other male prisoners? What difference does it make what he believes? He's male. He belongs in a prison for men. What right does he have to have his belief validated at the expense of women?

Not just politicians and leaders evidently. It's 'normal' women (the ones born with vaginas) who pop up on these, and the feminist board threads spouting 'I disagree' thinking they are being cool, inclusive and progressive, but can never really articulate it's ok to shit on women why when faced with the nitty gritty questions. A lot are probably/hopefully men as the alternative is too fucking depressive.

Throwing women under the bus is soooo 2023 don't ya know. Right side of history and all that. Slow clap ladies.

No YANBU, the whole thing is outrageous.

mamacattiva · 24/01/2023 19:29

YANBU - I think a lot of people aren’t bothered because they’re “just” women prisoners at risk and therefore not worthy of protection. It’s bullshit.
