Does anyone know these awesome women? If you do, give them a nudge and ask them to get in touch.

I don't know these awesome women, but I know who has inspired them
So thank you Agnes

Koalablue · 13/10/2018 00:03

Well done Tassie women. I love the comments underneath.

Budgieinaberet · 13/10/2018 00:10

Koala I guess your name does not indicate anything Grin

Update - May have a found a link. But don't give up! Girlguiding is a worldwide movement, we need to work together. Please share widely.

Gender self ID is tacitly endorsed by the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts - this affects girls in 145 countries. The resistance is spreading...

This comment. Woot. And the Paul Keating quote.

“In the meantime, gender studies and its transgen evangelists get away with mangling our gender culture through the sort of ‘network marketing’ that has gone on in the Girl Guides. It used to be called subversive colonization. And as with any subversion, it is not enough to merely try to fend it off. We have to go after it like Bronwyn and Isla are doing, because if we don’t, they will be all over us like a rash. Marketing is all about ‘initiative’, and the party that has that is running the agenda.

These lobbies exploit the language of equality, ‘discrimination’ and ‘inclusivity’ to bluff, fudge and crib their way past the critical faculties of increasingly mystified and bamboozled mass constituencies. And they get away with it because they have mastered the tobacco lobby obfuscation and manipulation handbook. It is now the standard communications methodology inside the almost entirely privatised and corporatised system of totalitarian discourse, that alters reasoning into marketed slogans, keywords, euphemisms, dysphemisms and stereotypes and then populates them with authoritative sounding spruikers throughout the architecture of media influence, to create the illusion of a ‘new wave’ of popular opinion.
You keep hearing about transgen ‘issues’ as if they were spontaneous irruptions out of the culture, when in fact what is really happening is the roll out of a co-ordinated Public Relations campaign run by an ‘unrepresentative swill’ of aggressive ‘activists’.

The comments on the article are pretty good!

Anyway - I've found them! Watch this space for some international girl guiding activism...

Anyone else feeling a small surge of excitement at the potential for a global women’s movement off the back of modern comms technology? Go well, lovely Agnes! It would be fitting for 2018 to be the year that it starts. Angry

boatyardblues · 13/10/2018 06:40

Oh no, I’m not angry. (well, perhaps I am about the colonisation of ‘woman’ by men..) I wanted this one Smile

Well this was both depressing and exciting to wake up to this morning.

And from the comments: the tobacco lobby obfuscation and manipulation handbook - that's what I repeatedly see on this board from those who post with a word salad of objections, whataboutery and inane versions of alternate reality that they try to impose on women. Great analogy.

Power to you Agnes!

Wouldn’t it be amazing?

borntobequiet · 13/10/2018 09:23

I haven’t seen the term “transgen movement” before but I will now use it.

arranfan · 13/10/2018 11:32

“transgen movement”

My sight isn't good in the morning - I read that as intransigen movement - which is apposite.
