The abuse this woman is receiving is shocking. All she did was express concern that female prisoners are being forced to share a prison with a male sex offender.

The Irish Feminist Network is staunchly LibFem.

Fuck 'em.

They are also republicans. Gender critical feminism is linked to British imperialism in their minds. Even the 'Terfs Out' letter echoed 'Brits Out'.

Woke ness woke washing has replaced religion here. Many people are as desperate to be seen to ‘inclusive’. Any dissension or use of critical thought is blasphemy. Results in cries of kill the terf.

The group is called Feminist Open Forum but there's nothing recognisably feminist about it. Apparently we're all supposed to believe there are huge numbers of undetected women committing sex offences... Hmm

NotTerfNorCis · 04/08/2019 11:05

I had a look, am disappointed we can't post without joining. Their stance is very much 'trans women are women' and 'the prison service is doing the right thing by putting a woman in a women's prison'.

It's very, very cringe-inducing. A male sex offender is a woman because he says so? Nothing screams 'cult' more than such twisted thinking.

Juells · 04/08/2019 11:07

Yeah, it's rampant Hmm Amazing that I've never met anyone who's been sexually assaulted by a woman, I must live a very sheltered life.

Most Irish women I know can't stand woke nonsense. It's a generational thing. However, most Irish men really love the 'Pride' nonsense but when it comes to actual women's rights abortion is killing males and women should know their place; kitchen, kettle, kindness.

NotTerfNorCis · 04/08/2019 11:38

This is actually a really interesting case study of a society with very traditional values (male dominance, Catholic religion, nationalism) suddenly adopting very liberal values. The emphasis on faith and devotion remain, as does the deference to men and their needs, and the fact that opposing views can be ascribed to the old enemy is the icing on the cake.

It's very disconcerting to read a so-called "feminist" group share these views.

The stuff they're posting is the very same that men's rights activists used to come and post on Mumsnet - and feminists here used to vehemently argue against.

So strange to see young women are accepting these -what used to be considered - extreme MRA arguments, and call themselves feminists.

NotTerfNorCis great synopsis.

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 04/08/2019 12:07

It’s fucking terrifying tbh. I’m in NI and it’s finally taken a hold here too. (We’ve had other shit going on to keep the woke cult on the back burner, but now it’s in)

It’s baffling. Intelligent women abandoning any notion of critical thinking. And theyre so aggressive!

Datun · 04/08/2019 12:13

And theyre so aggressive!

That's a real characteristic of this kind of response. I think it's because they must shut the person up. They can use aggression, because that does tend to work. People start to doubt themselves.

It's a silencing technique.

KatvonHostileExtremist · 04/08/2019 12:14

Awww, the young pink hairs in that group are well triggered.

It's impressive to see them defending a sexual predators rights though.

MadamBatty · 04/08/2019 12:15

I can’t talk to so many friends about this, I get shouted down. These are usually sane rational ordinary women.
Refusing to listen, spouting sound bites.

I wonder if the tide will ever turn?

JoxerGoesToStuttgart · 04/08/2019 12:22

It will only turn when men are being seriously impacted by it. Women will just keep on tolerating and defending the people who rape their daughters.
