I am completely lost about why feminists who have a view on trans issues are labelled "radical" feminists. There are so many different views within feminism and some of them I would consider pretty radical but not simply having a view on trans issues. Genuinely and searching for the world's gone mad emoticon.

Your first link worked. What an aggressive obnoxious piece of shit.

There are three different videos, just in case the first wasn't enough

This might help explain.

How much more male can that knob be?

Deeply uncomfortable to watch.

The TiM's insistence that the signs were removed/burned/ripped apart is the typical response we've seen to women's opinions being silenced. What struck me was the fact that their signs said 'Women's Safety B4 Men's Feelings' but the TiM was adamant that they were a woman. There's such a disconnect there between reality and the pretence we have to uphold.

You know, you can pontificate all the day long day about gender, brain sex, acceptance, inclusivity, and rights.

But this is the reality.

An aggressive man calling women bitches, telling them to shut the fuck up, that they don't know what the word lesbian means and aggressively demanding that they stop objecting, or else!

Which ever way you cut it up, this IS what is happening.

Oh, and he clearly thinks this is his absolute God-given right. Genuinely.

"Shut the fuck up."

"Shut the fuck up."

"Shut the fuck up."

Wow. Argued his case really well, didn't he?

"Oh Granny, what big teeth you have."

What a jerk that person with the plait is.

On the other hand, PeachYoghurt is a treasure.

Beyond belief that that this aggressive person is calling them bitches and calling to burn signs that ask for women's safety - on IWD.

What an entitled idiot. Such male socialised behaviour seeping out of every pore. Proving exactly why we should not centre men who call themselves women.

He's a women right? So the signs didn't apply to him surely

Women who don't feel safe tend not to escalate situations they find threatening.

Women who don't feel safe tend to try and remove themselves.

Women who don't feel safe tend to be socialised to play along in order to protect themselves if they can't leave.

MEN who don't feel validated, on the other hand ...

He's a women right? So the signs didn't apply to him surely

Good one!

Just wow. The hate. And arrogance that he can tell women to take their signs away.

Brilliant PY, hasn't seen it and really explained it all too.

'I'm disrupting you'

Hmm. A male person turns up at a women's march with the stated aim of disrupting women's protest. What do we call these people again?

I used to be involved in environmental complaining a long time ago, and people like him used to dominate groups and demonstrations. They are just angry at everything and use a cause to express that anger.

As pp said, his upset at the signs made no sense - I bet the couldn't even articulate what was wrong with them.

Yes the TIM was aggressive. It was painful to watch tho, partly because he was alone and in pain - I disagree with his point and position and mode of expression but nonetheless I felt for him, being mocked by some of the women there

Actually, I felt one of the women in particular was deliberately provoking that incident. She was using a taunting tone of voice as she said he sounds like a man, his socialisation is show8ng etc.

Now I understand why she did it, and I have no sympathy with him at all, he's an unpleasant piece of work. I wasn't impressed by her either though.

He didn't have to be there. His sign might as well have said 'look at me - I need attention, women stop talking about you, talk about me instead'

It is all to do with male socialisation. He was provocative and disrespectful to the women there, who just wanted to centre themselves in something for a change. Why shouldn't the women react?

He chose to go and stand by the women with those specific signs... he was invited to stand somewhere else, by another woman... he thought about it and decided that the kind offer wasn't as enticing as staying where he was and continuing the confrontation he started... by choosing to stand by the women with those specific signs.

Think about how you reacted to his situation... you feel more sorry for him than the women he deliberately chose to affront... the woman he lashed out at... sorry women, he slashed down with is sign a few times... the aggressive language he used.

Why are you more worried by the tone of a woman's voice than that of a man?

Seriously, consider that. I had a similar moment last year, it has sort of change my perspective on the whole matter
