BFI's Woman with a Movie Camera: opened by Munroe Bergdorf

[jgrobinson]

Feminism needs to include everyone. We welcome activist and model Munroe Bergdorf, who has recently debuted her documentary What Makes A Woman, which examines the changing world of gender and identity, to talk about what power means for sisterhood, feminism, culture and activism.

God how tediously predictable

Is Munroe a filmmaker?

Tbf, she has a brilliant agent. I don't know how she keeps getting such high-profile gigs!

I hope Bergdorf eventually realises that she's bring invited to all this stuff just to generate media attention. At the moment it must seem mutually beneficial and affirming but PR is a fickle friend and a wicked enemy.

The tide is turning slowly, mainstream media are realising that sex and gender are not the same thing and chromosomes cannot be changed no matter how loud you shout and stamp your feet.

In keeping with the misogynist traditions of the BFI they invited a transgender identified male to represent the female half of the population and mansplain what power means.

the best comment I saw was that they should have asked Harvey Weinstein as well and made it a double act. Just to teach the nasty cunty feminist types a real lesson, in case we didn't quite get the message from the male masquerading as a woman.

It's nothing to do with having a brilliant agent. A woman with the same agent wouldn't have got the gig. Munroe got it precisely because a non-woman would be woke and media worthy. It's embarrassing really. The token transwoman.

Makes me sick that buffoon representing female auteurs

No, feminism does not need to include everyone. Feminism is for women.

It is most certainly not for a misogynist male who wants to dictate to women what they can and cannot discuss.

She's just another self-publicist.

But Bfi... could you be giving women more of a Fuck You?

If feminism included everyone then it wouldn’t be bloody feminism, would it? What a load of bollocks. Literally.

Along with Amnesty and their "Making Women History" (sic, or not as the case may be) event, hosted by SF

They are using you Munroe.

Feminism needs to include everyone

Why? What is the cut off for everyone? Does feminism include my husband? Does it include my children? Does it include my dad - the man with a taste for domestic violence? Does it include me as a bisexual woman? Does it include me with my hairy cunt and my unplucked eyebrows?

I just saw this. Every bloody time there is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women, the spotlight falls on a male. I thought trans people were a tiny minority?

Even though I've considered myself a feminist since forever I was always ??? about the concept of patriarchy.

That's until this sort of shite started happening and I began to see really clearly how much patriarchy loves to fuck women over and how supporting the TRA agenda is a brilliant way to do this.

It seems like nothing now can be for cunty types and cunty types alone.

The best kind of woman, the kind men want to centre and listen to have dicks.
