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

[Plinytheprettier]

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

No Kirk you can't be sexist against men FFS!

I actually find the term flounce to be really sexist

Says the person who accused women here of ‘fawning’ and ‘lauding’

sorry jessica who did I accuse 'here'? No one

Anyone who supports him on this. Unless you had specific people in mind?

I don't think Pliny knows what they want. They just don't like men, any man. Even ones who are helping.

No Kirk you can't be sexist against men FFS!

But You have been sexist against women, you have based on a photo accused women of fawning at him.

Who’s for tea and biscuits? It’s about that time

I didn't say 'anyone who supports him'. I did but I'm obviously not going to name them. People calling him a 'hero' etc was what bothered me and it consider that to be 'lauding' yes. Hardly sexist and certainly less gendered than 'flounce'

No Datun I am critical of patriarchy and that does include all men. 'Like' doesn't come into it

Here’s what you said:

You did not specify the ‘fawning’ comment was about anyone calling him a hero. Look at your opening sentence.

less gendered than 'flounce'

What are you talking about?

Flounce is from old norse, it's from a viking word, flunsa meaning to rush.

Jessica we've gone all retro and are enjoying Jacob's Club biscuits, orange flavour, this afternoon. Coffee though, no tea.

ClosdesMouches I could do with a coffee too, although it’s quite late for me to have one, today I need it. If only I had a ginger biscuit, got a craving

No Datun I am critical of patriarchy and that does include all men. 'Like' doesn't come into it

So I ask again in that case. What would you want us to do? Do you want us to ignore Glinner on the basis of the fact he's a man?

How do we 'centre someone less'?

How do we 'centre someone less'

The first step is to make a thread about them.

I would love to see him doing more campaigns on feminist issues in a way that challenges his own privilege.

This isn't sexist.
Look the flouncy kitty is in BLUE PLANE and therefore is CLEARLY MALE

Jeez, you're a bit obsessed with the man. What's he done to you?

I would love to see him doing more campaigns on feminist issues in a way that challenges his own privilege.

Okay so taking what you said earlier, (That transideology doesn't effect men) the court case doesn't count because?

My posts saying this post was trolling has been deleted. Come on Mumsnet you're almost as bas as Twitter.

Well fidget I didn't see or report it. You can call me a troll if you like, I have sincerely posted gender critical opinions under different names in the past which I assume MN has access too?

Okay so taking what you said earlier, (That transideology doesn't effect men) the court case doesn't count because?

Because he was in a group photo with other white men and that makes him very very bad.

I really think the purpose of this was to stop us talking on the other thread supporting Graham on the court case.

Did it work?

How on earth can I 'stop' you from doing anything?

I would love to see him doing more campaigns on feminist issues in a way that challenges his own privilege.

Tell him to do that then!

How do you want us to interact with him, given it's us you are criticising???

You're telling us off for something you want him to do.

I'm not sure logic is your strong point.
