Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

If Glinner is such an 'ally' why is he working only with white men?

I'm a GC feminist, but I do find all the fawning around Graham Linehan to be pathetic. He's barely given a peep about women's rights in the past, and suddenly he's jumped on the anti-TRA bandwagon, centering himself in what is and should a women-led movement (i.e. feminism).
The last straw for me is seeing fellow feminists fawn over this tweet - he posits himself as an ally, yet shows 0 interest in opening up the world of comedy beyond the thoughts of white men.

A heterosexual man being critical of transgenderism =! feminism

Hmm
Datun · 29/03/2019 15:06

I've actually asked you three times now, op? What do you want us to do? Ignore him?

ClosdesMouches · 29/03/2019 15:07

I'm firmly with noWhip

JessicaWakefieldSVH · 29/03/2019 15:07

you've been rude and patronizing toward me from the start and I don't owe you anything.

Your opening post is rude and extremely patronising and downright sexist, as has several of your other comments. You started this post, what did you really expect to happen? For women here to just take it? If you don’t want to answer questions and back up what you’re saying, why did you post?

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 29/03/2019 15:07

Do you understand that being Gender Critical isn't a feminist movement?

KatvonfeelzlikeaMAN · 29/03/2019 15:08

And we love you for it @kirk

littlbrowndog · 29/03/2019 15:08

I think you are overthinking this tbh

I think he’s great and what he is doing.

It’s really that simple

Am here with all the women men girls boys that hate this cult stuff that is hurting us all
I don’t need to question people s feminism believes

I just like what he is doing to bring it to the attention of his 600k followers

Pliny what are you doing ?

JessicaWakefieldSVH · 29/03/2019 15:11

I'm critical of Graham Linehan

You were also extremely rude about women who support him. Don’t expect to come to a feminist board criticising other women for supporting the wrong person, based on one photo on his own twitter and not be challenged on your own words.

What did you want to happen with this post?

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 29/03/2019 15:12

The current trans-ideology is threatening everything from Free speech to child welfare.

People from all over the political spectrum are going to be more and less worried about various aspects of it.
It is not a centred "Feminist movement" it's is something that is affecting everyone.

Plinytheprettier · 29/03/2019 15:12

Actually having to live with the ramifications of sexism and I don't get a gold star for doing it unlike him or any man.

What are you doing to change it though? Anything?

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 29/03/2019 15:13

In your opinion, would you say a man has less right to argue and worry about this than a women?

Datun · 29/03/2019 15:13

So what do you want us to do Pliny , ignore him?

(That's four times).

littlbrowndog · 29/03/2019 15:14

But what are you actually doing Pliny ?

Plinytheprettier · 29/03/2019 15:14

Actually Jessica I've written a letter to my MP and often call people out on sexism throughout my daily life (even when I've been scared to do so).

I don't really want to engage with you any further though

OP posts:
KatvonfeelzlikeaMAN · 29/03/2019 15:14

He's a legend.

He doesn't think he's better than anyone.

Mumnet loves Glinner and who are you anyway?

Should we be calling Bunbury and serving up some Biscuit

Plinytheprettier · 29/03/2019 15:14

Yes Kirk I would because it is women that suffer from this whole mess not men (perhaps slightly different from gay men who are being transed)

OP posts:
JessicaWakefieldSVH · 29/03/2019 15:15

I don't really want to engage with you any further though

You probably shouldn’t have posted here then, you can’t pick and choose who posts and who responds to your entirely disingenuous and sexist opening post.

KatvonfeelzlikeaMAN · 29/03/2019 15:15

Flounce

JessicaWakefieldSVH · 29/03/2019 15:15

Should we be calling Bunbury and serving up someBiscuit

Oh yes I think we should

Plinytheprettier · 29/03/2019 15:15

I actually find the term flounce to be really sexist

OP posts:
CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 29/03/2019 15:15

All men have mothers.

Do you not think it sexist to Judge someone based on a photo?

Bluestitch · 29/03/2019 15:15

Nobody is giving him a gold star. He's the only man I can think of who is targeted as much as GC women, so women support him against the onslaught of abuse and hassle he gets.

Datun · 29/03/2019 15:16

Pliny you have started a thread and written umpteen posts criticising women for supporting Glinner.

But you refuse to say what is the alternative.

You must see that it's beginning to look as though you want people to ignore Glinner.

Which is extremely counter-productive to what you claim is your intended aim of opposing transactivism.

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 29/03/2019 15:16

I actually find the term flounce to be really sexist

Why?
