Seems they didn't want to get bogged down in a debate so they lied about perverts in toilets to get a quick kneejerk reaction.

That metro article is completely gross. It's from 2016. There is one significant difference between the reporting then and now and that is that the metro would have referred to that as pervert SHE. Progress eh?!

R0wantrees · 08/12/2018 17:03

Apologies, it came up on my twitter feed and I didn't check the year as was in the middle of something.

Actually Aspie l've never actually seen a polar bear with my very own eyes, like in person so now I'm actually dubious of their actual existence dontcha know!

Elf - I read a theory that Finland doesn't exist (linked from here I believe) which was far more evidenced and convincing than this article.

EmpressAdultHumanFemale · 08/12/2018 17:46

That article's about one group in Massachusetts, who made a video about the dangers of men having free access to women's space. I don't think Bunbury would be that impressed.

Besides, there's this.

•I reckon that article is best shared among the kind of dudes that think women just make shit up.•

Funny how my teenage years featured many straight men telling me that my experiences of street harassment weren't real because I was just "not taking a compliment," and now that I'm middle aged (and after many, many years of advocating for gay rights) it's gay men who are telling me that threats from men aren't real.

Knicknackpaddyflak · 08/12/2018 18:11

Gawd, so I imagined being assaulted? Shock The witnessed ones must have been group hallucinations. Police must have been hallucinating the evidence too.

Knicknackpaddyflak · 08/12/2018 18:14

Maybe I'm hallucinating Pink News come to think of it.

And polar bears.

And traffic wardens.

Are pink news trying to say that certain beliefs are false? Are they saying that just because someone claims something to be a REALITY doesn’t make it so? Blimey, they’d better be careful suggesting that.

QuietContraryMary · 08/12/2018 18:20

A more accurate appraisal might look at the billions and billions of dollars behind the trans movement, and the relative lack of funding for the opposition.

Just how big is this disparity between the almost unlimited quantities of cash funding men's sexual rights and the protection of women and children?

A look at the funding records will be instructive:

www.ocpf.us/Reports/BallotQuestionReports

Pro-men's sexual rights: $5.04 million

Protection of women & children: $0.457 million

When you are outspent 11 to one by a cause backed by billionaires the arguments just are not relevant.

I don't know who these Mass Resistance jokers are, but the Prick News people don't deal in facts - the data are there in black & white.

"MassResistance activists formed their own “No to 3” ballot committee to campaign on this"

No To $3 spent $447. No, not $447,000.

$447.00.

The MassResistance people want to argue that lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transsexuals are all disgusting & evil.

Frankly they can fuck off, along with any other fucker who wants to use their shit. The whole lot of them can fuck off to the far side of fuck.

I saw a polar bear once. It wasn’t dead, but it looked really happy to be living outside of its natural environment in a zoo in Dublin. I also saw another bear which may or may not have been polar but was looking convincingly like someone’s carpet. So dead happy there too.

What a load ofbollocks you ploppy plop pants

ILoveDolly · 08/12/2018 22:08

I guess all the local reporters who reported a case recently of a man sent down for lurking in the ladies toilets and secretly taking pictures of them on the loo must have been hateful feminists, lying to get men into trouble?

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 08/12/2018 22:26

My friend who had a man peering under her door at a swimming pool changing village and who was 'rescued' by an off duty police officer was also obviously lying

As was the off duty police man who swore to what happened in a court of law

Lying as well?

Christ they are all at it

(Disclaimer...i didnt manage to read the article as i didnt want pink cookies. And i mean that more literally and figuratively)

LangCleg · 08/12/2018 22:33

It would be great if Penis News turned out to be a figment of my (bigoted, obvs) imagination.

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 09/12/2018 07:13

It would be great if Pink News had a web site that was not utter shite.

Now, that I think about it, keep on with the shite site, PN.

TRA propaganda is about as twisted as it gets.

Here is a thread from Siobhan O'Leary. If you're blocked (as I am) just paste the link into a browser where you aren't logged into Twitter.

It's about the Maria MacLachlan assault. Apparently:

  1. Maria was part of 'a network well known for its vicious cyberstalking'. In fact, she was part of a 'cyberstalking cult'.

  2. The TRAs were 'at a protest voicing [their] discontent with the aforementioned cyberstalking network.'

  3. The fracas began when one of the TRAs tried to push the camera away.

  4. Maria responded by physically assaulting the TRA.

  5. Tara intervened and gave Maria 'a single punch to the cheek'.

Here is the video:

And here is the truth:

  1. Maria is not part of a 'cyberstalking network'. She's a gender critical feminist who was trying to attend a feminist meeting.

  2. TRAs were not protesting against a 'cyberstalking network'. They were trying their best to stop the feminists from meeting. This was after the feminists had originally invited the TRAs to sit down with them and discuss. TRAs got the original meeting shut down, so now the feminists were trying to hold it again, in secret. They were gathering in Hyde Park before going on to their venue.

  3. The fracas began when Tara Wood tried to grab Maria's camera (not push it away) as can be seen in the video. Maria started filming the TRAs (instead of other feminists) after Tara's attempted theft.

Once she'd begun filming, the TRAs physically assaulted her and tried to grab the camera, which they eventually did (it's all in the video).

Before arriving at Hyde Park, Tara had posted online that Tara was going to 'fuck some t*rfs up'.

  1. Maria defended herself against a crowd of attackers, and at one stage grappled with a woman, apparently Tara's girlfriend.

  2. Tara ran in and punched Maria several times. It would have been much worse if people had dragged Tara away.

I don't understand why TRAs spread such easily disprovable lies. Do they believe them? In which case they're profoundly deluded. Or are they deliberately conning people? Which is actually much worse.

LuggsaysNotaWomen · 09/12/2018 13:56

Oh so the glory hole in the park toilets that I used as a kid, which pervy men would use to look through/poke their knobs through was in fact a...? What? A penis exfoliator? Additional lighting? A wormhole/portal that lead to vicious feminist ten year olds that bigotedly objected to strange men innocently poking their cocks through walls into their private space?

Glad Prick News have cleared that up for me. I will stop being vigilant about the spaces my children are in now as they have educated me to understand there is no threat. Happy day.

Knicknackpaddyflak · 09/12/2018 19:33

Pathology. Read around the relationship boards, look for a couple of the really loopy MiL threads for what life is like with an (actual) personality disordered narcissist. Emotion creates reality, not facts. So that they've told you something obviously disprovable, or that it contradicts what they said yesterday, means nothing because it expressed the emotion they wanted.

The Issendai blog is very helpful to get a better understanding of how this kind of mind works, and that really your only hope if you have to deal with someone of this kind is powerful, rigid boundaries or, more often, no contact of the move, change address, go unlisted and prepare for all hell to break loose when they realise you've escaped.

Knicknackpaddyflak · 09/12/2018 19:36

vicious feminist ten year olds

Bloody hell, there were a group of these little buggers oppressing poor men innocently airing their penises through the door holes in my local park toilets too when I was a kid. Kept forcing the police at skipping rope point to prosecute them too.

Tinlegs · 09/12/2018 20:00

Gosh silly me. Must have imagined the bloke who pinched me hard on my arm, pulled me towards him and stuck his hand down the front of my bikini bottoms.

Must have dreamed being in changing rooms at a private pool and thinking he had just got the wrong door.

Wish I had known that at the time it was a dream.

But then, I was 12 so should have known it was just a figment of my imagination.
