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.

Thank you so much. My lefty DH is still on the fence, was 100% twaw, we can't know their pain, etc., but he's now on the fence and when I raised the issue of the violence at the conference I inadvertently through this in and he needed a source.

More intimidation from the aggressive men. And the police are doing feck all again.

There was a judgement yesterday about the right to shock and offend. A man who burned a copy of the Q’ran (sp?) was cleared because the judge explicitly said that the right to freedom of speech includes the right to shock and to offend. I think people like Berry, and the “protesters”, should think about that.

If you can’t argue your case, and you have to resort to preventing the other side from making their arguments, perhaps you should consider whether your case is actually that logical/rational/reasonable after all.

FFS.

This is so silly.

Indeed. I didn’t get there till about 6pm last night (work had to be done yesterday!) but it was quiet. However, to get in to the building there was a wire fenced off walkway, a hand bag search, then a walk through electronic scanner gates. Just to join over 2,000 women, mostly organising around MVAWG, and women’s rights internationally. Then when I left the building, after the fab show Queenagers, there were 4 policemen just making sure women could leave unharassed.

The so called “social justice warriors” show themselves for who they are: violent women haters. They should go back to Afghanistan.

Nothing silly about wanting to vote for a party that represents 51% of the population properly.
I don't want to be forced to vote Right just because they know basic biology and don't pander to violence.

These men do not respect women's legal rights, do not consider their consent to be important, do not want them to speak. They think they can intimate women into STFU with violent behaviour.

They're just incels of a slightly different flavour.

That sounds far too logical for a group of men who spent a whole day chanting "shame on you" in dresses https://x.com/cavakaggyreborn/status/1976725777053106577?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1976725777053106577%7Ctwgr%5E5c3ded15c35d883fb5e5d60cc731c9e8820c9688%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftimesofindia.indiatimes.com%2Fworld%2Fuk%2Fsmashed-windows-graffiti-and-intimidation-feminist-conference-venue-in-brighton-vandalised-by-trans-activists-watch%2Farticleshow%2F124470679.cms

Property is respected more than men even. Touch property at your peril.
Btw, I've never bought the old ' Greens are socialists ' line. They've been in power twice here in Ireland and were pretty good at enforcing austerity with the odd cycle lane.
Certainly Sian Berry seems little different to any other right wing authoritarian. Green feminism includes men. Adopt the new line , or else. They could lose in Brighton next time I reckon.

It is a left problem though, no point in denying that.

The communist party is extremely niche, though good for them for standing up for their principles.

Labour has been TWAW until very recently and are still dragging their heels. Only a handful of politicians are properly standing against it. They've had to respond to Cass/SC judgement, it hasn't been an organic change.

All the other left leaning parties are firmly on the side of gender woo and against women. As are the Dems in the US.

I can't get me head around what looks like this newish (to me) trans (incel ?) movement.

Looking at the men in a series of different demonstrations worldwide they are not 'even' really trying to look like modern girls or women. I'm not sure how this really fits in.

Finding it hard to explain. Especially when it touches on matters of stereotypical dress. It's very true that real women adopt a wide variety of dress.

The boys and men at these protests in different locations look like youths dressed in plain black or in grunge (but nothing like the girls i know who dress like thar look like).

It's like a weird parody of 'i want to be a woman but an incredibly 'ugly' or not feminine woman' and i don't care'.

The opposite to the earlier stereotypical ultra feminine drag type of trans identifying man.

It's a 'i want to be a woman but not look in the mirror' or care what i wear or look like.

They seem to say 'I don't even want to try and look beautiful'. I want to be a woman and reject being 'feminine' as that revolts me'. It's a type of feminine hatred.

There is something more misogynist going on with these particular trans identifying men. That is why I am thinking that if is a type of trans incel movement.

I probably didn't explain this very well.

The incel to trans pipeline is obvious to me. Nerds, neuro-divergent types with poor social skills and deep into their internet wormholes with porn addiction bringing up the rear. Many are gamer types. The internet also allows them to find their kind and affirm one another in their lunacy.

Any idea what the reasons are then?

To be angry about a group of women talking to each other?

I don't think the men demonstrating want to 'be' women.

They've just spotted an outlet to unleash their aggression towards women that society is legitimising right now. It needs to stop.

It should be noted the Bash Back manifesto about FILLIA had a section about how annoyed they were to be told their violent misogynistic games sold on Steam were being examined...

The Sian Berry tweet and these posts are very much ‘look what you made me do’ on behalf of violent men.

A classic marker of an abuser

There should be be no where off limits to women

that was kind of the starting point of feminism

men objected then too

I'm not sure what you mean by this

I think Labour leadership are hoping this issue will go away quietly through the actions of others, like the SC and the NHS, because if it came to a vote it would tear their party apart. Plus they're aware from polling that the electorate mostly doesn't believe in "her penis" ideology.

Men are not 'being listened to'. So they smash up windows.

Men are not 'being listened to'. So he throws a glass against the wall.

Men are not 'being listened to'. So he punches a hole in the wall next to her face.

But, it's ok! It's OK! He didn't actually hit any woman! Why you bitches be whining? A punch on the wall near the side of her head isn't that 'deep'. It just that the man 'isn't being listened to'!

FFS, the misogyny and minimising of make violence in your post, in 2025, is pitiful!

Btw, it is not their backyard! It does not belong to them any more than it belongs to the local women who live there too, and turned up to the sessions.

Agreed, but they need to do better.

Much stronger leadership is required to make it 100% clear everybody needs to obey the law, no excuses.

I agree, and wonder if the EHRC guidance with the inevitable backlash from transactivists will change anything.

Like if this Bashback gang bricked Keir Starmer's windows, would he say anything about it.

Are some people seriously making the argument that Brighton belongs to the TRAs and any women who dare to express reality in Brighton are fair game targets for window smashing bullies?

There's a phrase about leopards and faces that fits here.
