I only realised today that that photo of the mantra was real. I saw it on twitter a couple of days ago and presumed it was a spoof put up by feminists mocking the mantra brigade.

Aw, bless. I thought I didn’t need feminism until at the grand old age of 23 I got a 9 and a half pound breech baby stuck in my pelvis and the (male) doctors told me I was mistaken.

Has to do a runner accross the hospital car park shouting about discharging myself (in transition) before anyone would take me seriously. Emergency c section within the hour.

AngryBird (Amanda Dee) was a founde of TransOxford.
She is a trans woman.
She spoke out after the protests against WPUK in Oxford (April), describing it as when 'the bullies became the bullied' and issued a statement:

Repeat after us:

TWAW = TWADDLE

TerfsUp · 13/07/2018 13:39

TWAW = Twawnkey (as in Widow).

RedToothBrush · 13/07/2018 13:50

Btw, I suspect the act of putting 'cancel trump' up at the same time as 'repeat after us', is an attempt to link the two opinions inextricably and they are not intended to be independent statements from each other.

Therefore the logic is that if you don't repeat you are not a 'good little liberal' and you are a reactionary conservative who supports Trump. You can not support one and not the other.

Its ideological piggie backing. We've already seen a fair bit of it in relation to militant trans activism.

BettyDuMonde · 13/07/2018 13:58

Yes. Funnily enough though, one of the young people who is most active in TWAW around these parts is also pro Brexit, so while he might well have gone ‘yes! Cancel Trump, TWAW!’ He’ll also be going ‘Brexit is a crime? Wtf?’

There's a womens demo today near parliament. Strange bedfellows attending too...

Cooroo · 13/07/2018 14:39

Yes RedToothbrush - I just received the following on FB: "your odd, anti-trans preoccupation makes you sound like a trump loving bigot".

Splitters!

I've wanted this name change for a while and this seems like a good moment to in it.

Ah, thank for the info.

I just received the following on FB: "your odd, anti-trans preoccupation makes you sound like a trump loving bigot".

I have been wondering for some time when people were going to wake up to the fact that it is Trump's religious right that wants to transition away the Gays & Lesbians and enforce rigid gender roles, just like the transgender advocates.

I wandered over to have a look at the Women Against Feminism UK Facebook group. It is really all about putting women back in their place and elevating men.
Attached are two recent highlights.

Wow, MorbidMuch, that's just straight-up sexism. Feminists are fat pigs? I'd be suspicious about the 'women' in that group.

The Serena Joy version is over here: www.ladiesagainstfeminism.com/

Datun · 14/07/2018 09:19

FeminaSum

Absolutely. No way that's run by women.

It's just another incel group I should imagine.

SardinesAreYum · 14/07/2018 11:07

Just read the last few posts and am LOL @ the idea that men protect children and women don't Grin

Takes an interesting way of thinking to come to that conclusion!

ErrolTheDragon · 14/07/2018 11:42

Well, I don't know if the women in this story call themselves feminists but female scientists tend to be:

(Tries to resist comment about it being easier to find primitive small brained members of our species on FB and fails...)

FloralBunting · 14/07/2018 12:18

FeminaSum bloody hell, that is a blast from the past. I used to be part of the online social circle that included some of the women who post on Ladies against feminism. There's a link to the now defunct Vision Forum as well, if anyone's aware of that horror story.
Gah, I'm so glad I'm going out to enjoy the sun and do something to distract myself from horrible memories...

Where is that thread Waddle?
Is that the same 'AngryBird'?
I noted at the end of the JustAngryBird post:
"I already have experienced a lot of negative comments from some radical feminists but, regrettably, I can understand what fuels them."

That could be that we have been screaming about the treatment of lesbians within the alphabet for years, falling on deaf ears, even from the transsexuals. We have been waiting for years for them to get with the programme, so yes, we are angry, specifically at those who stood by and said nothing while Cotton Ceiling and lesbian erasure was happening.
