Is there not a thread about today's #manfriday art exhibition?

[BeyondParody]

I did have a quick look but couldn't see one?

A manfriday art exhibit? Link? Not saw an a thread on it.

Their first twitter post on it is here, then it's under the hashtag
twitter.com/manfriday_/status/992299883603214338?s=21

It was mentioned in the Linda Bellos thread and there's a thread in Chat:

Thanks Betsy

That Twitter thread is brilliant.

Catherine Bennett wrote similarly:
"Apart from anything, Jack the Ripper, who would now be the toast of angry celibates, had the disembowelling idea 130 years ago. And further demonstrating that misogynistic tropes are by no means the monopoly of resentful male virgins, curators at San Francisco library are currently staging an exhibition featuring a display of dissident-silencing weaponry (axes and bats) and other hate-advertising artefacts.

Photographs of one vitrine, featuring a red bespattered T-shirt reading: “I punch terfs!” (trans-exclusionary radical feminists/women who disagree with me), may have struck a chord with anyone following the current UK debate about the government’s self-ID proposals. To date, threats, from one side, which echo, inescapably, some of those in the pro-Rodger playbook (“die in a fire terf scum”) have yet to generate comparably widespread concern, even after a woman was punched. Her assailant had earlier expressed the wish to “fuck up some terfs”."

The #ManFriday 'gallery' is here with comment:

"The not-remotely funny thing is, it is these women and transwomen who are being removed from office, interviewed under police caution, verbally abused, threatened, intimidated, shoved, beaten and surrounded by baying mobs of these terrifying TRAs. This is not a few crazies sounding off on Twitter. This is real.

To our politicians: will you speak up now against this avalanche of violent misogyny? If not, why not?"

That twitter thread is brilliant!

Dye turf scum in particular is my fave.

I hope that the members of the Women's & Equalities Committee are being made aware of the nature of the misogyny and threats to women:

Wow I feel good after viewing that! The power of art! Officially in love with all of man Friday now.

I love the art! What a talented bunch the Man Friday activists are!

Hats off!

It is all brilliant.

Gawd. I read all that terrible stuff and think - when women point out that those violent, terrible, sociopathic threats are illegal and so far beyond hate speech its ridiculous, we get told women should know they're just 'hyperbole'.

But use the wrong pronoun here in a polite post and they leap on MN and bay for your post to be deleted because it's hate and evil and mustn't be allowed.

The double standards are straight out of a Lundy Bancroft book on abusive men.

Oh I really enjoyed that.

I loved your gentle humour and piss-taking . I can imagine those against it would be frothing!

I adorable you thismuch!

So funny, well done
