TIM behaving abominably at IWD protest - videos

[CAAKE]

Watch this aggressive, petulant TIM throw their weight around at a IWD march.

Having read the article, and hearing that there was a concerted effort to intimidate the feminists, then I take back my criticism of her provoking the situation. It was clearly the other way around.

That's a great tumblr account. Nice idea for IWD where various feminists took photos of signs they had made in their locations saying "Radical Feminism is Back". Wish I'd seen that a couple of days ago.

The TRA spin is out on this: twitter.com/notCursedE/status/972279986634788864

This video is being posted by terfs.

It's a trans woman who is standing in front of some terfs at an #IWD2018 event. The terfs have clearly been riling her up and she's snapped and got a bit defensive in response.

It's an Irl "typical male behaviour."

I keep reading those twitter exchanges...

Is it just me being dim but after a while it can get quite hard to tell who is who, who is arguing what. It all gets very circular and the attempts to speak 'scientifically', presumably to add some gravitas to the opinion being expressed, makes a total nonsense of some posts (not least the weird social scientist bloke who is just deluded if he thinks any of his innumerable, yet numbered, comments, made any sense, whichever angle you read him from).

I wouldn't mind but my degrees are physiology based... I know something about the human body... yet I still can't see what it is some of those posts are aiming for

Poor transwoman, getting all riled up by those terrible terfy feminists on IWD.

Always the bridesmaid victim, never the bride perpetrator.

Would that be 'Cliff Leek, PhD' who tried to pull apart one of Miranda Yardley's articles using words of wisdom like this?

9th point - Cotton ceiling as a term calls out that cis lesbians often support trans causes but don’t consider transwomen to be viable sexual partners. Same conversation is happening about race in gay communities. Calling attention to this dynamic is not coercive or shaming.

Yup! I just can't see how anyone, let alone someone who claims that level of education, can write such stuff and expect anyone reading it no to giggle! Its internal logic is utterly non existent and the point/s being made are non sequiturs, at best.

I've just read some of Leeks' tweets. I'm so glad that he is explaining what it is like to be a woman to me.

Bugger! Just googled him... he's real! OMG! I see now why someone said she thought he was making himself unemployable!

None of the links work for me, do I need a vimeo account?

The links were taken down from Vimeo. You can see the video here:

The Vimeos have been taken down Minger. I think Datun's youtube link works.

Oops. That should be Leek's not Leeks'.

I loved the conversation between a female protestor and the transwoman.

Female protestor: If you're so sure of your identity, how can I invalidate you?
Transworman: Shut the fuck up.

Thank you, Dr Leek, for mainsplaining to us women who lesbians should sleep with.

Mind you, that's not the first time I've seen that sentiment - it's sadly common among some of my male acquaintances.

Thanks for the youtube link. I quite enoyed "you don't know what a lesbian is"

I'm going to tell Dh about all the lesbian sex we've been having as penises are female now.

Dr Leek is a known MRA, so of course he's all about the TiMs.

That entire thread of his is a complete dumpster fire of bullshit MRA talking points.

Yup! I just can't see how anyone, let alone someone who claims that level of education

He is an assistant, not a professor.

I know something about the human body... yet I still can't see what it is some of those posts are aiming for

Samphire, I believe he is employing the Chewbacca Defence.

It's all about confusing your audience into submission.

What a prick.

Dr Leek 🙄

The video is gone...

Chewbacca Defense! Thanks, that has made me snigger.

Professor, Assistant Professor, he has a PhD (or is part way through one)... he has to have better critical thinking skills than his tweets suggest. Or maybe my bog standard, ex college, rural University was miraculous!

I want to slap his face with the proverbial wet fish, until he wakes up and realises his error!

Oooh I left a sarky comment on the dr leek Yardley thread.

YouTube video is still up.
