One of the people who wanted 'Feminism: Sex and gender discussions' shut down has been arrested.

A thank you to MN for keeping 'Feminism: Sex and gender discussions' open despite pressure from some - as it turns out - very dodgy men.

Apologies for the title mistake, it should read "One of the people who wanted 'Feminism: Sex and gender discussions' shut down has been arrested".

Ahh it makes more sense now.

Perhaps report and ask MNHQ to edit?

Have reported the title error.

That's sickening but not at all surprising.

shocked face

'A popular V-Tuber who was recently arrested for possessing indecent non-photographic images of children has been revealed as a trans-identified male. Jordan Williams, also known as “Alexandra Williams” or Mimi Yanagi, was exposed by keen investigators on controversial forum KiwiFarms.
....
Controversy surrounding Williams first exploded last week after a post was made to his X account revealing that he had been arrested in the UK on April 20 and had been forced to migrate to a new account as a condition of his bail.
“On Monday April 20th, Mimi was arrested by the UK Police for possession of [his] artwork, and [his] artwork alone. [He's] currently on bail pending the outcome of a criminal investigation into his] accounts and activities. All of [his] devices were seized as a result of the arrest,” the post read.'

I've edited the pronouns. This creep is not a woman.

From this delightful chap: I am attracted to women, but resist the urge to act on the attraction as I know the risks outweigh the benefits. In addition, I know there are bad men and good women. The difference is that bad men are thoroughly reviled and condemned, whilst bad women are usually given a pass by society at large.

man who role plays as a woman has disordered views about women shocker. Astonishing

I can’t even go there on the other allegations

At some point we’ve all got to get clear that men with a healthy attitude to women don’t role play as women

Disturbing details on the Reduxx article.

I am unsurprised that someone with what looks like alleged extensive interest in CSA images would go after Mumsnet.

Thanks to MN for resisting.

Even only 10 or 15 years ago, I didn't have a clue that there was still such a level of misogyny around.
It's not that I hadn't come up against plenty of sexism in my rather male working environment, or that I hadn't been sexually assaulted, but the idea that these males actually want to stop women talking to each other or expressing an opinion...I think everyone needs to really think about where that kind of attitude leads. Especially their 'allies'.

Thanks to MN for correcting the thread title.

What a surprise 😮

Gosh, I'm sure all the 'how does it affect you personally' people will be along in less than 5 seconds distancing themselves and unaligning themselves with him.

Right?

Williams’ story sparked international debate, with many rushing to his defense and claiming that the arrest would put a chill on freedom of artistic expression, regardless of the content

So perverts deserve freedom of artistic expression, but women who are trying to protect young children should shut up? Says it all.

'Schlep once noted that significant amount of predators he caught ended up being in possession of fantasy child erotica.'

It's just horrific.

What was this dude's username(s) on Mumsnet? There're so many possible candidates coming on here to scold, obfuscate and goad it could be any number of posters.

This.

There's no such thing as 'child erotica'. It is 'child sexual abuse'.

Freedom of expression for pedophiles, but no freedom of speech for women?

Thank you Justine and the MN team for standing up to the pressure to shut us up.

If we didn’t have Mumsnet, which then influenced more powerful arenas in the media and politics, then Theresa May’s Tory gov would have brought inSelf ID which they were consulted on. Without a doubt.
Thank you to the MN owners for keeping the site accessible to women to talk (albeit with very very strict rules on what they could say,) when it was very difficult to do so elsewhere.

Now I wish the owners would leave the site as a not for profit legacy for women - imagine what a resource that would be. It’s barely usable due to the ads that are allowed on here affecting the usability of the site. I don’t want women to have to stop using MN. A place for women to (more relatively then elsewhere) freely talk to each other anonymously has kept many women here. I want MN to stay here for the coming generations of women and mothers but that would require investing profits back into the business, rather than extracting them for private individuals and not investing enough in the site. Sorry I would much rather be posting unqualified praise because the site has allowed women to get together which has been very powerful, but the site has genuinely become much harder to use with constant page reloading and skipping to the top of the page before the one that you’re reading.
