Men violently preventing women from congregating, communicating and networking, is what the Taliban do. Why is it happening in the UK?

[SingleSexSpacesInSchools]

The FiLiA Women's Liberation Conference was targeted overnight, the attackers even live tweeted the violence.

Local politicians are so far silent.

This is literally terrorism, using fear and violence to shut down legitimate peaceful discussions.

And a group of violent transactivists smashed up the conference centre in an attempt to intimidate. Doesn't make any difference that this violence was in Brighton, this shouldn't happen anywhere.

It still does not make it their backyard. Apart from T there are four other letters in LGBTQ, which means they are a small minority within a minority. Yes, they are accepted there but it is not their backyard.They don’t have any special entitlement to Brighton.

I will go with you with regards to their reason. They had an awful and unjustifiable reason to vandalise the conference centre.
Feminists have not done anything to them. They have not taken anything away from trans community.

I'm guessing you'd be worried if they came to your workplace and smashed the windows and vandalised it because they didn't agree you should be there, or somewhere they knew you'd be meeting friends? I imagine you'd not feel they were probably there to just hold signs?

@Kimura
Around 50% of Brighton population are women, why shouldn’t they have a conference there?

Because those are the wrong type of women!

Has there ever been a single case of feminist women going and smashing up a trans conference? I bet there hasn't. The violence is only directed one way.

If they vandalized my workplace at 3am when I wasn't there, and I was able to go in the next day and go about my business as planned, I wouldn't give a toss, no.

Bullies only win if you let them.

Nobody, at any point on this thread, has suggested women shouldn't have a conference in Brighton. This appears to be something you've made up and are now insisting to argue about.

You did. In your first response to my post “It's the equivalent of holding a Ranger's fan club meeting in the carpark of Celtic's ground.”
You are clearly implying that Brighton is trans territory. Except it’s not.

Brighton is a city in the UK, open to everyone, including feminist women. In the UK we are allowed to hold conferences free from interference from violent men in masks. And we will. And continue to do so. The moreso in fact. The more I am challenged by a weirdo bloke the more I enjoy continuing to do what I have always done which is to support women and girls.

I sadly couldn't attend this weekend, but thanks directly due to your posts on here I have bought a ticket to show my support. Women are allowed in this country to hold meetings wherever they want. Men's anger about that - totally irrelevant. A man who is angry about me and other women voicing our views is a misogynist.

Sian Berry and a few pps here seem to think Brighton belongs to violent thugs and is a no-go area for women.

To answer the op, because the UK is fine and very much on board with the oppression of non-trendy groups and women. Especially of women. Men want us to go back to doing all the important work for free, it is women that have ruined the economy doncha know, not male bankers and rich foreigners and certainly not male drivers of shit technology. We are to blame for all of men’s problems.

Starting with them being alive, presumably.

Hey, it distracts from inequality and the number of billionaires being created out of public money and who cares for a few worthless slags caught up in it.

A female MP trying to justify violence against women

How bloody depressing

This. 100%

Property is respected more than women, is how that looks.

Yes, I'm not often shocked by politicians talking nonsense, but that is shocking.

Berry should resign.

Why all these posts justifying male violence? Is it in every situation where you agree men will get angry so just expect it or just this one?

It is not a left-wing problem. E.g. the Communist Party (surely left !) and many in the Labour Party definitely don't believe men can be women. They think it's organised to split the working class ( ditto racism), it's unity being the biggest threat the 'elite' face.

Thanks for this, do you have a source I can use? Or if anyone else knows the source for the percentage of tm in prison with these convictions ?

How do you think the taliban started? They didn’t just lock all women down one day. It’s been a gradual drip drip. And yes this is terrorism. They are using violence to get their own way. If a group can be deemed terrorists for attacking aeroplanes for political aims, why can a group not be deemed terrorists for vandalising buildings for political aims?

It's quite a sight to behold isn't it? It's to be expected that various randoms on the internet will minimise VAWG. But to see an elected MP stating that Brighton should be a no go area for women to meet is quite something.
As ever it shows how immensely powerful and influential these people are. They can get an MP to make such an anti democratic, anti woman statement without any self awareness of the implications

Another once respected public servant beclowned by their adherence to this ideology.

Here is the HM Prison Service 2023 stats on rates of sexual offending.

As you can see trans identified men are up to 5 times more likely to be in prison for sexual offenses than other men.

The Labour Party are firmly convinced men can be women, David lammey believes men can grow a cervix. It was only last year our prime minister was saying women could have a penis. They only stopped saying it when it became clear it was not popular with voters. So are you saying they wear lying when they said they believed men could be women or are they lying when they say they believe men can’t be women?

Exactly. Even the violent aggressive males attacking women is unfortunately not all that surprising - what's noteworthy and appalling is Sian Berry suggesting women are not free to meet and discuss women's rights in certain places in the UK. She seems to suggest she attempted to intervene with the booking - if true, this could lay her open to legal action.
