Apparently the Alt-Right and 4-Chan are using MN.
I think it's just one person who controls their tweets. I really hope that the top Lib Dems know what's being said.

(side note to that absolute corker of an article doing the rounds on Twitter basically blaming Venice Allen for "starting" radical feminism in like 2004- how do you explain that my mother was a radfem in the 70s???!!)

I read that! Funnier than any parody!

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 03/04/2018 12:18

Can you link the article?

DarthArts · 03/04/2018 12:19

I read that Lang - it was so funny it has me spluttering out my tea.

You'd think of you really believed in a cause you wouldn't do it a disservice by spouting utter ill inform rubbish, but no....

CircleSquareCircleSquare · 03/04/2018 12:25

I need to admit something to you all.
I was radicalised into stealing a house in Mexico. FOR SHAME.

LanaKanesTerfyVagina · 03/04/2018 12:25

Here we go....

I just learned what radfem is and it's terrifying

Do not drink and read....I practically choked on my coffee Grin Grin

LanaKanesTerfyVagina · 03/04/2018 12:28

This quote in particular...

As far as I can tell, the RadFem movement sprouted up like stinkweed, first in the UK, from one woman’s dissatisfaction with the Labour Party deciding to include Transgender rights as part of their manifsto in defending The Gender Recognition Act of 2004

The ignorance is strong with this one.

LanaKanesTerfyVagina Read while playing chilling music

Seriously though, aren't the comment defamatory?

LangCleg · 03/04/2018 12:33

It's absolutely bonkers! First line:

I must be a lot more unplugged than I thought.

Yes, dear. You should have realised that in your case this is a good thing and taken the dog for a walk instead.

NoSquirrels · 03/04/2018 12:34

Wow. That "article". Wow.

their very souls have gone septic, sending them into a state of madness not altogether unlike a rabid dog

Shock
LangCleg · 03/04/2018 12:35

they... desire to be viewed as vigilant guardians of femininity

Um... no.

LanaKanesTerfyVagina · 03/04/2018 12:39

I know it's utterly utterly batshit.

God just tried reading it with the Jaws music UpstartCrow Shock

Need to go and fan myself with my MN radical scarf

Someone should do a quiz using quotes like this. “1908 anti-Suffragette campaigner or 2018 trans rights activist? Can YOU tell the difference?”

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 03/04/2018 12:51

I did like the bit where they say that some very anti gay people are actually gay

Linking it to the picture of three rad fem women with short hair and plaid shirts who are obviously trans themselves...

OlennasWimple · 03/04/2018 12:51

Red - do you think I can complain that the people running the LD LGBT Twitter account are clearly "enslaved by [...] ignorance" themselves?

Ereshkigal · 03/04/2018 12:55

Oh yes! Grin

RedToothBrush · 03/04/2018 12:56

Olennas, why not?

If your point is that you want to encourage greater understanding of each other by both sides and that ignorance from LGBT LD needs to be tackled as part of that.

trevortrevorslattery · 03/04/2018 12:57

Ha HAAA at Sheila Jeffreys being sucked into the Radfem movement by Venice Allen! Love it Grin

whoputthecatout · 03/04/2018 12:59

That is the most hilarious article ever.

Keep taking the tablets luv.

LanaKanesTerfyVagina · 03/04/2018 12:59

53rdWay that would be an excellent quiz!

Be prepared to be terrified out of your wits...

Deep in the wilds of Twitter, a group have gone feral...

Consumed by madness the rabid, dog- like, hairy creatures have lost their souls......
AND NOW THEY ARE COMING FOR YOURS!!

CapnCabinet · 03/04/2018 13:12

I've complained.

I've volunteered to deliver leaflets in the past but I won't be doing that any more.

I won't be voting Lib Dem any more either. I find that scary, as I've ALWAYS voted Lib Dem, and there's no one left for me to vote for. I feel alienated, ostracised. In the May elections I think I will do the female sex symbol.

AssassinatedBeauty · 03/04/2018 13:13

Wtf is a paleofeminist? If I say I am one can I get lots of cash from the Russians and the US bible bashers?

I would probably spend it on home improvements but I don't think the Russians/US bible bashers would be able to check.

53rdWay · 03/04/2018 13:16

I think palaeofeminists only eat red meat and wild grains?
