Conor McGregor case

[Lisanoonan]

The case that is ongoing at the moment. Any thoughts?

He allegedly left her with a lot of bruises.

What's the staaaaaary bud

In fact the discussions I'm referring to were about consent and violent assaults, not what Nikita Hand said outside the court about 'girls and boys', i.e. children, which was obviously about the sexual abuse of children, not adults.

Nikita Hand won, at huge cost to herself, and like you I'm pleased about that, just as I'm full of admiration for Gisèle Pélicot's courage in exposing what happened to her at the hands of her husband and a random assortment of other rapists.

But Nikita and Gisèle are just two in the huge number of women - 736 million women, according to the UN - who are attacked, sexually assaulted, raped and murdered by men.

The point I'm making is that violence against women is a huge problem worldwide, and it will never be tackled if it's never named.

All this 'people' who rape and 'victims' who get raped, as if the roles are interchangeable between men and women, is bad because it's inaccurate and deflects from the reality of violence against women, which is a specific thing.

And I AM pretty annoyed about that!

Credit where credit is due:
The National Women’s Council (NWC) and Women Aid Federation Northern Ireland (WAFNI) have now called on both governments to increase cross-border and all-island supports for survivors of intimate partner violence.
“It is a very sad indictment to this island that 58 women have been murdered since 2020,” Sarah Mason, WAFNI CEO, said.
“We need meaningful cooperation across the Island to address violence against women, this is vital if we hope to reduce our high levels of femicide.”
Domestic abuse victims more at risk on both sides of border since Brexit

Here's the link to the report:

BTW I did a quick search, and it appears that the words 'transgender' or 'transwomen' do not appear at all, and transgender is not mentioned as one of the vulnerable groups of women - not so long ago they were the 'most vulnerable group in society'. This is interesting.

I also didn't see TENI referred to as contributing anything to the report, also a positive sign of the times. [I see the TENI website is up again, it was missing from a while - being updated to suit the changing public mood, I wonder?].

@MarieDeGournay there are plenty of places to discuss feminism and trans women on Mumsnet but do you have to keep bringing it up on this thread? It’s not really about what annoys you, this thread is about what Conor McGregor did to Nikita Hand.

I see major retailers and smaller ones too are pulling Mc Gregor products from their shelves.,

Check who you follow on social media follows him ans ask them why. I've already been blocked for that from some Irish accounts

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean... what Conor McGregor did to Nikita Hand IS what annoys me.

I don't understand how the case of a woman who was raped, and the struggle she had to get heard, to be taken seriously and to get justice, is not a feminist issue.

The issue of transwomen came up in reference to the report I linked to - it's relevant because if the law says that a man can be a women, it won't be much use in tackling the specific issue of violence against women - like Nikita Hand and Gisele Pélicot, just to take two recent examples.

Dee Devlin has posted this and deleted it... victim blaming a rape victim...also check out the latest tattle.life Connor McGregor thread

Dee Devlin has posted this and deleted it, victim blaming a rape victim..

Also Google tattle Conor McGregor to see the latest thread

I wonder was she forced to post that? It’s in bad taste anyway.

Still on insta. Who knows he could be a cuddly bear at home!! Or she is deluded.

Well she telling the world loud and clear she is standing by her man.

2025 predictions,

Wedding date announcement & possibly baby No.5

I'm sick of hearing g CCTV doesn't lie,

Neither does medical evidence, but because he doesn't like that evidence it's conveniently ignored.

There needs to be a major information campaign regarding trauma reactions in this country.

And a hell of a lot of re educating.

I hope Dee is as quick to teach her daughter there are men out there who rape, lie and scheme.

I doubt she was forced to post it . Why would she be? It's most likely in response to the "whars wrong with Dee - why is she with him still?"type of posts. There's a lot of that (understandably). Cant imagine CmG being too bothered by how Dee's been affected by this.

You can imagine he must be in a god almight rage about the consequences he's now getting. OK so it's armchair psychological of me but you'd hardly be shocked if it came out that he's sociopathic narcissist would it? (Not that we will ever know something such as that for definite.)

Regardless, he's a man who's spent a life time with being given extreme kudos and always getting his way due to the strength that gives a person, actual physical strength and the power money gives you. This is the first time he's actually had consequences.

He seems disinclined to marry her. Another baby wouldn't surprise me though.

That statement,

She believes him, she believes he is a cheat, but that is ok because she trusts him.

Trusts to do what exactly, shag someone behind her back and come home after and tell her?

Trusts him to have STI testing after every time he's cheated and before he shags her unprotected?

Low bar.

It's not deleted. It's still there on her instagram stories.

I'm annoyed at Dee. Her message was all "conors the victim". I really dislike her statement.

I don't like where Dee said that Nikita was bad to send conor a photo of herself

But Dee completely ignored in her statement ,that conor went back and had sex with Nikita..

Dess statement was all "how could a woman be so awful and send a provocative picture tkomy partner".

When what dee SHOULD be writing is "it's awful that my partner went and had unprotected sex with another woman when he is with me.

Dee is sounding worse and worse.

Lots too there about how awful a mother Nikita was, leaving her kid for a weekend partying etc. funny though that Dee didn’t comment on how awful a father Conor is, for going out, getting coked off his head, not to mind everything else. That’s ok apparently.

So a mother shouldn't leave her child with I can only assume is her father, buts it's ok for a father to leave his child with his heavily pregnant mother while he goes out hunting

Exactly dee is a total mug.

She's saying nikita is awful for going out, when conor also went out partying and shagging someone else.

Women like dee drive me mad

Random question

Is Dee her full name?

It comes across as a shortened name.

@DublinFemale not sure but it could be short for Deirdre or Denise?

I think it’s Denise
