If a poster gets enough reports they have to be looked at .....just sayin'

2016IsANewYearforMe · 12/01/2016 19:25

Don't go Wilde ignore, ignore, ignore! I simply don't read it at all. The thread is moving quickly and it's easier to keep up if you just filter it out.

Will- I don't think that there are many wonderful posts on here. I find Emily's posts a massive relief and think she has managed to keep going calmly and honourably to stand up to paranoia based prejudice.

The fact that some of you have turned that paranoia on to us is just an amazing example of how crazy and baseless your way of seeing people can be. No evidence needed, just write people off.

I am not bothered about the treatment of us, at least for me, it doesn't really matter. But this kind of paranoid thinking about outsiders, does really matter when it comes to generalisations and assumptions- even treatment when it comes to not speaking to a woman because of what she s wearing- about whole groups of vulnerable people.

TwistedReach · 12/01/2016 19:37

Just another, I am not imagining that I know who you are

hiddenhome2 · 12/01/2016 19:39

Ooo, these words 'paranoid', 'crazy', these words are often used to diminish women by implying that their mental health is, well, less than healthy Hmm

TwistedReach · 12/01/2016 19:39

And why wouldnt I talk to a skin head with tattoos!

An new article on the Atlantic monthly.

www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2016/01/cologne-attacks-refugees-migrants/423528/?utm_source=SFFB#article-comments

Nothing new, but lots of comments. The comments on this thread are a lot more insightful, but nice to see that a respectable periodical is allowing comments.

Anyway, sorry if I assisted in the derailing.

Clash of cultures:
international.sueddeutsche.de/post/137082013170/mass-assaults-on-german-women-a-clash-of-cultures

Not sure if it has been posted but the stat about Egyptian women is quite startling to put it mlildley.

To go try and get things back on track.

I don't really believe in some new world order scenario but I'm struggling to see the reason for mass unfettered immigration.

Firstly it's just a ponzi scheme with all the problems that come with it, and secondly we are entering a faze of automisation, this along with the rise with India/China becoming even bigger players on the globalisation scene is something that on the face of it contradicts each other

Gaslighting is so 2000's

They need to update their strategies. Women have training in gaslighting now.

Wordsaremything · 12/01/2016 19:47

Oh dear

hiddenhome2 · 12/01/2016 19:48

Due to refusing to pay money to the liberal fascist, white imperial misogynists at the BBC, I cannot watch the television to see what is on channel 4.

Sad
hiddenhome2 · 12/01/2016 19:48

What's happening?

polentapies · 12/01/2016 19:49

channel 4 news now 0- good debate

hiddenhome2 · 12/01/2016 19:50

I can't see 😭

Sorry, folks, I'm giving up, at least for a day or two.

The thread has been endlessly deflected from what was a largely serious and sensible discussion by a couple of stubborn people who are 100% certain that they are right. We were talking a women's rights campaign, remember? About reminding our government that women matter and asking them to raise this issue, rather than colluding in a cover-up because it was politically uncomfortable. We were talking about how gender discrimination in some countries reminded us about racial discrimination and apartheid.

We've let them deflect us. I've wasted too much time here already.

VertigoNun · 12/01/2016 19:51

I will watch on 4 +1

I'm not getting dragged into personal twisted, you know nothing about me or anyone on here.

If you want to try and police tone the thread without actually addressing any answers, then go and be the PeNgU1N oF d00m somewhere else.

Cellardoor1 · 12/01/2016 19:52

Hidden twisted already said that she is worried for the mental health of people on here and that perhaps they need to "talk to someone in real life". Hmm Gaslighting at it's finest. It was after that I stopped reading her posts.

Wordsaremything · 12/01/2016 19:53

One woman saying violence against women happens everywhere , culture race etc irrelevant. Other bravely saying we need to recognise origins of attackers and take a more nuanced approach, including speaking to experts on Middle East sexual violence.

VertigoNun · 12/01/2016 19:53

Lume, a break is probably what I will do too then. Sad
