Caroline, I am honestly almost in tears looking at your Twitter feed tonight. Sad

Her kids have been doxxed by the good doctor.

She is continuing to receive harassment from TRAs. Someone has just sent a pizza to her house.

We all need to get behind her. They think she's a weaker target because of her Catholic views, I'm sure. Let's get on Twitter and report everyone that is sending her abuse.

I don't think harassment against women counts in LimeWorld

Yes it counts, women shouldn't be harrassed - if any woman harrassed anyone else though it doesn't make them immune to any consequences just because they're a woman.

Right Spartacus

The Feminism section on MN has never really been a truly feminist space. It's a great place to hang out, but unfortunately it is a magnet for those who want to roll back women's rights.

There are three of those that I count on this thread.

What an extraordinary amount of times Steph typed “I am entitled” over the course of the afternoon.

Indeed you are, Steph, indeed you are.

Something like that, spartacus_ we should let it penetrate, I think?

I’d just like to thank all those who did read a certain poster’s posts. I couldnt stomach them after the first two, so thank you to all those who took one for the team.Flowers

One wonders what planet you are on, where an abuser harasses a woman, including calling her a cunt, that they will burn her and her kids faces with acid, and in response the woman says 'gosh that sounds like male violence and aggression' and the issue you pick up on is the 'misgendering'.

I mean, fucking hells bells.

DonaldTwain · 02/04/2019 19:10

The suggestions from harrop that she is causing harm to her children is defamatory, surely?
I think just sue him for libel. I cannot see he would have any defence at all. Astonishing that a qualified professional would place himself in such a perilous position, purely for the sake of mouthing off on Twitter.

ToeToToe · 02/04/2019 19:12

At least a page was taken up with LimeKiwi's observations on misgendering - as if that's remotely comparable to the threats Caro & her children have been receiving Hmm

DonaldTwain · 02/04/2019 19:13

I mean, I doubt he has many assets. You might not get your costs back. But you could enforce any order against any property who owns, or attach his earnings, perhaps? That might encourage him to develop a little restraint. You’d be doing him a favour.

LimeKiwi · 02/04/2019 19:13

sackrifice I have repeatedly said when it keeps being brought up that I have NEVER said that is OK, anything like that is far from OK.
Again, it's totally disgusting and anyone saying anything like that should have the police involved as it's foul.

Why are you arguing then??

This is a thread of support for Caro who has been receiving these threats.

You seem to agree with us, but want to argue too.

KatvonHostileExtremist · 02/04/2019 19:17

That article needs changing. Stepho didn't get convicted of assault with a golf club. They plead guilty to a lesser charge of affray

The victim described being hit over the back of the head but that wasn't proven. It's best to be accurate.

Misgendering is a far greater problem for some than safeguarding or actual harassment that is intended to cause fear. I don't quite understand it, but then I guess we all have different priorities.

The attempted refutation of the intent behind the golf references is totally laughable and, of course, puts everything else said firmly in the dubious camp. Which is unfortunate if there was a desire to bring light to the subject.

Absolutepowercorrupts · 02/04/2019 19:22

Im posting to support Caro, I lurk and infrequently post but seeing this unfold today has been shocking.
I feel really upset so goodness knows how Caro is holding up.
There are some very disingenuous posters here today and they stand out by a country mile.
Bullies each and every one of them
If you're still reading CaroFlowers
I've been on Twitter and I'm horrified by the abuse you have received, I hope you and your family can recover and draw strength together.

Amoregentlemanlikemanner · 02/04/2019 19:24

sorry that this happened to you Caroline.

is this all because of Caroline's comments about Susie Green?

AyeRobot · 02/04/2019 19:25

Oh, and I'll say what I did on a previous thread. There's not much that Caro & I agree on, but I am shoulder to shoulder with her on this. It needs to stop. Engage with her arguments, be as robust as you like in doing so, but lay off the violent talk and lay off her family.

A more gentleman
I'm guessing that this has come about because Caro wasn't charged over the Susie Green incident and certain people have crawled out of the gutter with the express intent of forcing a court case involving Caro

Absolute that sounds spot on

dragoning · 02/04/2019 19:37

This is the power of women, Robot, we don't need to agree to support another woman who is being subject to misogynistic attacks (or indeed any attacks).

I 100 percent agree, SparticusAutisticus.

GassyAss · 02/04/2019 19:37

I too would like to offer support to Caro. What’s happened today is awful and if we can collectively be of any financial support I’d be more than happy to chip in.
